A Bloomfield resident’s search for township security camera footage has encountered a roadblock at the state Supreme Court.
The court overturned a prior Appellate Division ruling that said that Patricia Gilleran had the right, under the state’s Open Public Records Act, to view footage taken by the security cameras on the exterior of the Municipal Building.
The court’s Nov. 22 decision ruled that the security footage was not open to general public access under the state’s public records laws.
