To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:
I am writing to formally request access to the bodycam footage under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) related to the arrest of Marcus Jordan on February 4, 2025.
Incident Details for Footage Retrieval:
Date: February 4, 2025
Location: Maitland, Florida
Suspect: Marcus Jordan, age 34
Incident Summary: Marcus Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, was arrested near Orlando for DUI with property damage, possession of cocaine, and resisting an officer after fleeing a traffic stop. Officers responded to a report of a damaged Lamborghini stuck on railroad tracks, where they found Jordan and his passenger. Jordan was later arrested after field sobriety tests.
I am requesting copies of all body-worn camera footage from officers who interacted with Marcus Jordan during this incident, including footage from the vehicle approach, arrest, and transportation to the station.
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 10 business days.
Sincerely,
Harun

Harun,
Here is a link to download the requested Maitland Police Department bodycam video involving Marcus Jordan<https://cityof.files.com/f/f98f1c18cd7925b0>. This video includes footage from the scene, the primary interaction with Mr. Jordan and in-car transport to the jail. This is the video that was released to all news media. Three other police officers were standing close to each other at the scene, so their bodycam videos are very similar to the provided video with exception that the officers did not accompany the Mr. Jordan to the jail facility. Those videos are not available at this immediate time and would require fees for review and preparation. Please let me know if I can provide other assistance.
