Around 9:26 PM on January 15, 2023, Patrolman Tae Han of the Closter Police Department was on patrol on Homans Avenue near Hillside Elementary School and he observed a 2021 Mazda speeding in the westbound direction. He activated his emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop on Homans Avenue near Trautwein Crescent. The driver was identified as 18-year-old Claudia Conway, the daughter of George and Kellyanne Conway. Claudia informed him that she lived nearby in Alpine, New Jersey and that the car was registered to her mother. Patrolman Han proceeded to ask for her license, registration, and insurance. Claudia was not in possession of any of the required documentation. However, she was able to show him a picture of her driver’s license on her phone, and he verified the validity of her license. Claudia proceeded to call her mother Kellyanne Conway to ask for a copy of the documentation, and Kellyanne emailed her a copy of the vehicle’s insurance. Patrolman Han also told Kellyanne on the phone that state law required drivers to present a valid physical copy of the registration. Claudia arranged for her twin brother, George Conway IV, to bring the vehicle’s registration so that the Closter Police could verify it. After her brother George IV arrived on scene and provided them with the vehicle’s registration, Patrolman Han decided against citing her for speeding. However, he had to cite her under N.J.S.A. 39:3-29 for Failure to Exhibit License, Registration or Insurance. Records indicate that on July 25, 2023, Claudia pleaded guilty to driving without a license and paid a total of $196.73 in fines. She will also have to pay a $100 annual surcharge on her driver’s license for the next 3 years. --------------------------------------------------------------- Please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE.

All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (P.L. 2001, c. 404). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty. 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.
