Kratovil v. City of New Brunswick

Daniel’s Law protects the home addresses and unpublished phone numbers of certain public officials and their immediate families, subject to strict notice requirements. A journalist, seeking to publish the home address of a police director, filed a lawsuit arguing Daniel’s Law violated his rights to freedom of speech and the press under the New Jersey Constitution as applied to his request. The court affirmed that the journalist could not publish the director’s exact home/street address, but also held the journalist could publish that the director resided in Cape May.
