Securing Traffic Camera or Government Security Footage for Other Attorneys
At The Law Office of Deborah M. Golden, we have years of experience securing both traffic camera footage or other government camera footage on behalf of law firms. We understand both the federal and local and state laws, as well as any exemptions in this area. Our services include both securing the footage you need, as well as any analysis of the contents. We secure camera footage from:
- Actual traffic cameras (e.g., red light cameras or automated speed enforcement cameras)
- Dash cameras from police and other government vehicles
- Body worn camera (BWC) videos
- Security footage on government property
- Other government camera footage in public places
Depending on whether it’s federal, state or local governments, there may be some exceptions to release, but often much of it should be made available to you. That’s why, if you’re a fellow attorney that needs help in this area, you should contact us at the Law Office of Deborah M. Golden.
Securing Police and Law Enforcement Reports
Police reports can be a great source of information when investigating any personal injury claim, civil right violation, and many other instances. That’s because police typically arrive on scene in the immediate aftermath of an incident or accident etc., and they can make an initial determination of who was at fault or what may have occurred.
Law firms in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area use us to secure police and/or other law enforcement reports, as it helps to save them time and headaches. We take the literal legwork out of the equation for these firms, as we have years of experience requesting case files, understanding the ins and outs of how to best to submit a request and have it be successful.
If your law firm needs another law office for help in this area, contact us today.
Submitting FOIA requests or Other Requests for Government Records
At the Law Office of Deborah M. Golden, we have decades of experience submitting Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests on behalf of law firms, journalists, and individual citizens. FOIA is a law enacted in 1967, which was aimed at keeping “in-the-know” about the government and its activities. Federal agencies are required to disclose any information requested under the FOIA unless it falls under one of nine exemptions.
As attorney, we know you’ve got a lot on your plate. That’s why we’ll help you draft your submission with the correct specifications to obtain the exact government records you need. And should your submission be rejected, we can help you navigate the law, file an appeal, and/or help you litigate your case in Federal court.
Contact us today if you need help submitting a FOIA request or have other government records that you need to secure.
