Request for surveillance video of Chandler Jones incident denied
By News Staff
The Supervisor of Public Records for the Secretary of State’s Office in Massachusetts has upheld a decision to deny releasing surveillance video of New England Patriots defensive lineman Chandler Jones.
A police report says Jones was shirtless when he showed up in the parking lot behind the Foxboro Police Department in January.
Police released written reports on the incident, but denied requests for surveillance video from the police station.
That was appealed to the Supervisor of Public Records, who upheld the decision, saying the Foxboro Police acted properly in doing so. The decision read, in part, “Disclosure of the responsive video recording would result in embarrassment to an individual of normal sensibilities. I find the individual’s privacy interests in this matter outweigh the public’s interest in disclosure."
