The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records February 4, 2026 SPR26/0286 Allison Mondello Records Access Officer Department of State Police 50 Maple Street Milford, MA 01757 Dear Ms. Mondello: I have received the petition of Camille Motta appealing the nonresponse of the Department of State Police (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 21, 2025, Ms. Motta requested, [C]opies of all video and audiovisual recordings created, received, or maintained by the Massachusetts State Police in connection with my arrest and detention on December 19, [Year], in Millbury, Massachusetts. The request includes, but is not limited to, the following records: [1] All body-worn camera footage from any Massachusetts State Police trooper involved in or present during: [the traffic stop][;] [my arrest][;] [transport][;] [booking][;] [detention][;] [release][;] [2] All cruiser-mounted camera footage, including: [Dash camera video from the beginning of the stop][;] [Exterior and interior camera footage from the trooper’s SUV that initiated the stop][;] [Any additional responding vehicles][;] [3] All in-vehicle audio and video recordings, including radio transmissions captured in the cruiser during the incident[;] [4] All booking-area video and audio recordings from the Massachusetts State Police barracks, including: [Intake and booking process][;] [Holding areas][;] [Hallways][;] [Any areas where I was escorted or detained][;] [5] All surveillance and holding-area video from inside the Millbury State Police barracks, covering the entire duration of my presence, from the moment I entered One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us Allison Mondello SPR26/0286 Page 2 February 4, 2026 the barracks until the moment I exited[;] [6] Any associated logs or metadata identifying: [Troopers involved][;] [Camera numbers][;] [Recording times][;] [Incident or case numbers][;] [Any retention, deletion, or redaction notes related to these recordings[.] Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Motta petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR26/0286, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Ms. Motta with a response dated February 2, 2026. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Motta has appealed the February 2nd response, resulting in a new appeal which is currently opened as SPR26/0389. Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Camille Motta
