To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
I am requesting access to records related to the arrest of an unidentified woman in August 2023 in a mall parking lot in Atlanta, Georgia. The incident involved a public disturbance following a minor fender-bender, resulting in charges of disorderly conduct.
Incident Details:
Date: August 2023
Location: Mall parking lot, Atlanta, Georgia
Individual: Unidentified woman
Summary: Following a minor vehicle collision in a crowded mall parking lot, the woman became verbally aggressive, shouting at bystanders and calling 911 over a scratched SUV. Upon arrival, officers' body-worn cameras captured her screaming obscenities and refusing to calm down. She demanded that police arrest the other driver; however, due to her disruptive behavior, she was arrested for disorderly conduct. This incident exemplifies a public outburst over a minor incident.
Requested Records:
Body-Worn Camera Footage:
All video and audio recordings from officers present during the incident, from arrival at the scene to the conclusion of the encounter.
Footage capturing interactions between officers, the involved individuals, and bystanders.
Dash Camera Footage:
Any available recordings from patrol vehicles at the scene, particularly those capturing the initial response and interactions.
Incident and Arrest Reports:
Complete incident reports detailing the events leading to the woman's arrest.
Arrest reports and any supplementary narratives by responding officers.
911 Call Records:
Audio recordings and transcripts of any emergency calls related to this incident, including the call made by the woman reporting the fender-bender.
Fee Waiver Request: The primary goal of this request is to serve the public interest by making the information publicly accessible. I acknowledge that I may also generate revenue from its dissemination; if a full fee waiver is not possible, please inform me of the estimated costs in advance, and let me know if fees can be reduced or eliminated by removing specific items from the request, specifying which if so.
Please provide the requested records in electronic format, if available. If any records are withheld or redacted, kindly specify the reasons and the applicable exemptions under the law.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response within the timeframe prescribed by the Georgia Open Records Act.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Police Cam News

I am writing to withdraw my open records request regarding the incident in August 2023 involving the arrest of an unidentified woman in an Atlanta mall parking lot. Unfortunately, I do not have any additional information—such as the specific location details or the dates of birth of the involved parties—that would assist in a more targeted search.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
