25:40Now PlayingAround 11:24 AM on August 4, 2024, Officer Jessica Lee with the Hoboken Police Department was dispatched to a report of a shoplifting at ShopRite on 900 Madison Street. She arrived on scene around 11:40 AM and made contact with Felix in front of the main entrance. Felix led her upstairs to the loss prevention office. In the loss prevention office, she made contact with the alleged shoplifter, who was identified as 51-year-old Orlando Sierra.
The loss prevention official informed Officer Lee that the man attempted to leave the store without paying for about $106.83 worth of items. He also told them that they had him on video shoplifting 2 days earlier on Friday. Two other officers arrived on scene shortly afterwards. After review the surveillance footage, Officer Lee placed Orlando under arrest for shoplifting.
Orlando was transported to the Hoboken Police Department for further processing. At police HQ, he was searched in more detail. He was charged with shoplifting under 2C:20-11B(5) and released with a summons pending his court appearance. Court records indicate that on August 28, 2024, Orlando pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of Disturbing the Peace under ordinance 145-1. As a result of his guilty plea, he had to pay a total of $1,033 in fines.

Our content is educational and in compliance with YouTube's Fair Use Policy because we edit several long clips into a concise story. This is similar to other law enforcement channels on YouTube. All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (P.L. 2001, c. 404). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty.
The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v. North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J. Super. 13, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court has also affirmed the right to film law enforcement interactions.
