On April 20, 2024 around 8:31 PM, Officer Ramon Calderon with the Hoboken Police Department responded to a report of a motor vehicle collision involving a 2017 Lexus NX2 and 2017 Honda HR-V at 11th Street and Bloomfield Street. He initially made contact with the 34-year-old woman who was driving the Lexus, and she informed the officer that she was struck from behind by the driver of the Honda. She also agreed to let first responders with Hoboken EMS evaluate her before leaving the scene. Officer Calderon then made contact with the 29-year-old woman who was driving the Honda, and she was identified as Kathleen. Kathleen told the officer that she was in Hoboken for her friend’s birthday and would later admit to consuming alcohol earlier that evening. She was unable to locate her insurance information, and displayed indicators of impairment. Based on his suspicion of impairment, Kathleen was asked to exit the vehicle and perform field sobriety exercises. Around this time, Officer Kyle Seper arrived on scene to witness the field sobriety exercises. Officer Calderon started with the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. During the HGN test, Officer Calderon observed the lack of smooth pursuit, distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation, and the onset of nystagmus prior to 45 degrees. He did not observe vertical nystagmus. The second exercise was the Walk and Turn test. During the Walk and Turn test, Kathleen did not touch heel-to-toe on each step and took an incorrect number of steps after she pivoted. The final exercise was the One Leg Stand test, and she displayed a lack of balance and failed to raise her foot in the proper fashion. Based on the traffic accident, the odor of alcohol, her admission to consuming alcohol, and her inability to perform the field sobriety exercises, she was placed under arrest for driving while intoxicated. She was transported to the Hoboken Police Department for further processing. At the Hoboken Police Department, Officer Bonilla read her the Standard Statement for Motor Vehicle Operators, and she agreed to submit breath samples for test. Her Alcotest results indicated a BAC of 0.17%, which was more than double the legal limit of 0.08%. After she was processed, she was released to her friend pending her court appearance after she signed the Potential Liability Warning form on her behalf. Officer Calderon issued her the following summonses: Operating under the influence, reckless driving, use of a hand held device while driving, and failure to produce proof of insurance ------------------------------------------ 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.
