"Until now, if you received an idling violation, the only way for you to get hold of the actual video evidence was to file a Freedom of Information Law request," DEP Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala told Streetsblog. "We've created a website ... that will allow anybody who receives a ticket just to go to a website, and download the video that is the evidence against them."
The new online portal will turn "a long, tedious process involving a lot of work on the defendant side and a lot of work on DEP side into what is basically a self service," Aggarwala said.
"If there's a very clear video that shows you're guilty, we are hoping that a higher percentage of them will just go ahead and plead guilty and get the paperwork done without waiting for a hearing."
