ST. PAUL, Minn. – An administrative law judge rejected a news media request for police bodycam video in a fatal May 2024 crash in Rochester that killed an Owatonna teenager. Judge Suzanne Todnem ruled that probable cause in he case had not been established at the time of the media request. Therefore, she said, the video on was not subject to state open records law. A Minneapolis-based news site operated by volunteers, MN Crime, had appealed the Rochester police decision to withhold the video. The accident was outside Apache Mall.
