Around 8:59 AM on July 30, 2024, Sergeant Jason Falco and Officer Frank Lombardo with the Hoboken Police Department were dispatched to a report of a shoplifting at ShopRite on 900 Madison Street. They arrived on scene around 9:06 AM and walked upstairs to the loss prevention office. In the loss prevention office, they met with Felix and made contact with the alleged shoplifter, who was identified as Diana Silencieux. Felix informed Sergeant Falco that she attempted to shoplift $326.62 worth of items and handed him a copy of the receipt. Felix also told the officers that she had repeatedly shoplifted from ShopRite on prior occasions and they captured her on their facial recognition system. Diana was placed under arrest, handcuffed, and escorted to the patrol car. A search of her incident to arrest indicated that she was in possession of prohibited items. She was transported to the Hoboken Police Department by the officers for further processing. At police HQ, she was searched in more detail by a female officer. She was charged with shoplifting under 2C:20-11B(1) and possession under 2C:36-2A and transported to the Hudson County Correctional Facility. Court records indicate that Diana was later arrested again for shoplifting in Bayonne, New Jersey on September 7, 2024. ---------------------------------------------- Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and consider supporting this channel (email us for more information).

The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v. North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J. Super. 13, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court has also affirmed the right to film law enforcement interactions.
