Dear Mr. Mazur: Thank you for your email. I was not arrested by the NYPD and am a model New York City resident with a clean record. Are you suggesting that someone else associated to NYCCoin was arrested and that is why the footage is sealed? Mr. Mazur, your letter proclaims, "Accordingly, all associated records related to an arrest which has been sealed under Criminal Procedure Law Section 160.50 are exempted from disclosure; and, absent a notarized authorization from the accused/arrested person, or an unsealing order from the court, any records associated with this incident may not be disclosed." The NYPD has no standing to ask for a notary in exchange for my body camera footage. Please provide the requested body camera footage by May 13, 2024 or it possibly will be essential to seek injunctive relief in California.
