Citizen Complaint: Noneillah Talk Show Host Naomi Johnson Steps Forward to Expose Constitutional Violations by Glen Ridge Police Leadership

                        Sean Quinn, failed to address complaints provided by Naomi.

By Noneillah Talk Show Investigative Desk

Glen Ridge, NJ — November 23, 2025

Glen Ridge, NJ — November 23, 2025

Noneillah Talk Show host Naomi Johnson, widely recognized for her advocacy-driven platform and unapologetic truth-telling, stepped into the public arena not merely as a commentator—but as one of the People demanding constitutional accountability.

In a formal complaint filed today, Johnson requested that Glen Ridge Police Chief Sean P. Quinn be added to both the Essex County and New Jersey State Brady/Giglio lists for his alleged role in ratifying dishonest and unlawful conduct committed by one of his subordinates.

Her filing is directed to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Brady/Giglio Unit, with copies also sent to the New Jersey Attorney General, the Police Training Commission’s Brady Unit, and a tort claim to Glen Ridge Borough Administrator Michael Rohal.

The complaint centers around an incident on February 24, 2025, in which Sgt. Anthony Mazza seized and had Johnson’s 1995 Mustang towed without a judicial warrant, without probable cause of a crime, and without statutory authority. Johnson states that the deeper issue is not only Mazza’s conduct—but Chief Quinn’s deliberate inaction after being personally notified, and his alleged failure to uphold the Constitution he is sworn to protect.

What unfolds is a troubling portrait of alleged supervisory neglect, constitutional violations, and a pattern of conduct that now calls into question the credibility of the highest-ranking officer in the Glen Ridge Police Department.

A Certified Mail Writ Demand To Return Naomi's Property Ignored

Just two days after the incident, on February 26, 2025, Johnson mailed a Writ of Replevin to Chief Quinn via certified mail. The letter detailed:

• The warrantless seizure and towing of her vehicle were violation of constitutional rights. Rodriquez v. Ray Donovan, 769 F.2d 1334 (1985)

• The unlawful towing violates the Uniform Code, statutory and maxims of law.

• That she is a disabled civilian with handicap plates.

• A traffic violation dose not constituent a crime.

• Sergeant Mazza initiated the stop without probable cause.

• Sergeant Anthony Mazza did not have a judicial warrant to town Naomi's conveyance.

• Naomi disabled and was left without transportation causing her undue hardship and pain from having to walk home.

• Naomi had no way to bring her groceries and it was left in her Mustang. 

• Naomi had no contractual agreement with ECRB that Sgt. Mazza used to tow Naomi's car. 

• Naomi request that all fees are waived.

The writ demanded the immediate release of her vehicle—free of predatory towing fees.

Johnson says Chief Quinn never responded. She states she called Chief Quinn multiple times and left voicemail messages about the incident and requesting the return of her conveyance. He never called her back.

“Is this the way a public official is supposed to behave?” Johnson asks. “He clearly ignored the Constitution’s Preamble.”

She added:

“Chief Sean Quinn didn’t just ignore the law — he signed the procedure policy and refused to hold Sgt. Mazza to the policy.”

A Public Indictment of Glen Ridge’s Top Cop

November 25, 2025

Chief Sean P. Quinn is not a bystander.
He is the final policymaker for the Glen Ridge Police Department.

His signature sits at the bottom of every Standard Operating Procedure that Sgt. Anthony Mazza allegedly shredded on February 24, 2025.

And according to Johnson, Quinn didn’t merely fail to supervise — he actively authorized the constitutional trespassing of her rights in real time.

Here’s the Proof:

Quinn Personally Signed the Two Policies Mazza Obliterated “Motor Vehicle Impound and Inventory” → requires officers to arrange safe transport and never abandon motorists.

 

 “Quinn’s signature is his personal promise that these rules will be followed. Mazza broke every single one. Quinn knew — and did nothing.”

1. Quinn Received Naomi’s Certified Writ of Replevin (Feb 26, 2025) Return receipt signed. It spelled out, in exhaustive detail, the unlawful tow, the jurisdictional trespass, the ADA violation, and the abandonment of a disabled Black woman. Quinn’s response? Zero. No investigation. No return of the car without ransom. No discipline. That silence is ratification of Mazza’s crimes under Monell and supervisory liability (City of Canton v. Harris, 489 U.S. 378 (1989)).
2. Quinn Was on the Radio – Live – While the Crime Happened Body-cam audio captures Mazza radioing headquarters: “Stop at Woodland and Willowdale… Montclair.” Guess who was on the other end? Chief Quinn. Not once does Quinn say, “Stand down — that’s outside our jurisdiction.” Instead, he green-lights the stop, the tow, and the abandonment. That makes Quinn not just complicit — he is the principal who ordered the violation. If anyone who committed a crime between Naomi and the Glen Ridge Police Department, let just say it is not Naomi. 
3. Quinn Swore the Same Oath as Mazza Both men raised their right hands and swore to uphold the New Jersey and United States Constitutions. Mazza watched a disabled minister walked home in freezing weather because she dared assert her unalienable right to travel. That is not “policy.” That is treason to the oath.

Chief Sean Quinn is the man who could have stopped this nightmare with one sentence on the radio: “Montclair is not our town. Stand down.”

He didn’t. He let it happen. He signed the policies that were broken. He ignored the certified proof it was broken. And for nine months he has allowed an unlawful warrant to hunt Naomi Johnson like a fugitive.

This is not negligence. This is deliberate, malicious ratification of constitutional torture.

Chief Quinn, your badge does not make you above the Constitution. Your silence does not make you innocent. Your signature on those policies makes you personally liable.

The People of New Jersey are watching. The federal courts are waiting. And Naomi Johnson is coming — with receipts, recordings, and the full weight of the law you swore to defend.

 Quinn Was on the Radio — Live — While the Incident Happened

Johnson asserts that body-worn camera audio captures Mazza radioing headquarters:

“Stop at Woodland and Willowdale… Montclair.”

According to Johnson’s filing, Chief Quinn was on the other end of that transmission.

Not once, she says, did Quinn respond:

“Stand down — that’s outside our jurisdiction.”

Johnson argues that instead of halting the unlawful conduct, Quinn green-lit the stop, the tow, and the abandonment — all of which occurred outside the Borough’s territorial authority and without a mutual-aid agreement under N.J.S.A. 40A:14-156.

She adds:

“If anyone committed a crime between Naomi and the Glen Ridge Police Department, let’s just say it was not Naomi.”

“The Tow Receipt That Ends the Entire Of Contradiction”

One Piece of Paper Destroys Glen Ridge’s Whole Case November 25, 2025

Look at this invoice. Really look at it.

This is the official E.C.R.B. Towing & Recovery impound receipt for Naomi Johnson’s 1995 Mustang.

Top line: Location of Tow – MONTCLAIR, NJ

Not Glen Ridge. MONTCLAIR.

That single line is a death blow to every ticket, every fine, every tow fee, and the unlawful bench warrant still hanging over Naomi’s head.

Here’s why this receipt is nuclear:

1. Sgt. Anthony Mazza had zero jurisdiction in Montclair No mutual-aid agreement. No hot pursuit. No statutory authority under N.J.S.A. 40A:14-156. He trespassed onto another town’s soil, issued fraudulent summonses, and ordered an unlawful seizure.
2. The tow itself proves the crime happened in Montclair E.C.R.B. doesn’t guess where they pick up cars. They write the real address. This receipt is independent, third-party evidence that the stop, detention, and seizure all occurred outside Glen Ridge borders.
3. Every penny of the $575.69 in predatory fees is fruit of the poison tree Because the initial stop and tow were illegal, every storage day, every “administrative” charge, and the premature abandonment process E.C.R.B. started are proceeds of an unconstitutional taking.
4. Glen Ridge Municipal Court never had power to enforce or punish this tow Territorial jurisdiction is not negotiable (N.J.S.A. 2B:12-16). A court cannot collect fines or issue warrants for acts committed in another municipality. Period.

This tow receipt is the smoking gun the borough prayed would stay buried.

It is now public. It is undeniable. And it proves beyond any shadow of doubt that everything that followed — the forged tickets, the spoiled groceries, the abandoned disabled woman, the secret warrant — was built on a foundation of fraud.

Sgt. Mazza lied about the location. Chief Quinn authorized it anyway. Judge Clemente enforced it anyway. Prosecutor Brewster and Clerk Iandolo collected on it anyway.

One invoice. One line. Entire case obliterated.

Copy it. Share it. Send it to every reporter, every civil-rights attorney, and every federal investigator in New Jersey.

Because when the tow company itself admits the seizure happened in Montclair, Glen Ridge’s entire house of cards collapses.

This receipt isn’t just evidence. It’s the receipt for justice.

“One Ticket Says Glen Ridge. One Receipt Says Montclair. That Contradiction Just Blew Up the Entire Case.”

Look at these two documents side by side.

That’s all it takes.

Left side: Uniform Traffic Citation written by Sgt. Anthony Mazza→ Location of offense: “Woodland/Douglas – Glen Ridge TWP”.

Right side: Official E.C.R.B. Towing & Recovery invoice→ Location of tow: MONTCLAIR, NJ

Same car. Same day. Same incident.

Two completely different towns.

Sgt. Mazza knowingly falsified the location so Glen Ridge could:

• Claim jurisdiction they never had
• Write two $55 tickets they had no right to issue
• Tow a disabled woman’s car in another town
• Extort $575.69 in predatory fees
• Issue a secret bench warrant that is still active today

One piece of paper says Glen Ridge.

One piece of paper says Montclair.

Only one can be true.

And the tow company didn’t lie to protect Glen Ridge’s budget.

They wrote the real town.

That single contradiction voids the tickets, voids the tow, voids the fines, and voids the warrant.

Post these two documents everywhere.

Let the whole world see the contradiction for themselves.

Because when the tow receipt and the traffic ticket can’t even agree on what town the “crime” happened in, the only crime left is the one Glen Ridge committed against Naomi Johnson.

A Pattern of Inaction That Amounts to Ratification

According to the filing, Chief Quinn:

• Refused to order the release of the vehicle, forcing Johnson to pay $575.69 in fees

• Never initiated an inquiry into Mazza’s contradictory statements

• Ignored jurisdictional violations documented on CAD reports

• Overlooked evidence of potential racial profiling, including Mazza typed “(B)” for “Black” on a state-issued ticket where no such field exists

• Failed to enforce ADA Title II protections for a disabled resident

• Allowed the vehicle to remain impounded for seven days, with Naomi's groceries left in her conveyance despite knowing Johnson relied on it

The complaint argues that this pattern of silence and refusal to act constitutes official ratification, transforming Mazza’s personal misconduct into department policy, a critical standard in Brady/Giglio and civil rights litigation (including Monell claims).

“If a chief of police won’t correct dishonesty, and instead approves it through inaction, then his testimony is compromised,” Johnson tells Noneillah Talk Show. “The public deserves to know when a law enforcement official has endorsed false statements or constitutional violations.”

Why Brady/Giglio Matters Here

The Brady and Giglio rulings require prosecutors to disclose information that could impeach the credibility of a government witness, including:

• Dishonesty

• Misleading statements

• Constitutional violations

• Failure to supervise or discipline known misconduct

• Ratification of false information

If Chief Quinn endorsed or ignored falsified statements, failed to investigate misconduct, or allowed unconstitutional seizures to stand, defense attorneys across the state must be informed.

Johnson’s filing argues exactly that.

Race Notation and Impossible Timestamps

Among the evidence Johnson attached is a uniform summons on which Sgt. Mazza handwrote “(B)” next to her name—despite New Jersey traffic citations having no race field. Legal experts have long recognized unauthorized race indicators as red flags for profiling and data manipulation.

Additionally, CAD logs allegedly show timestamps indicating the officer arrived before dispatch, a logistical impossibility that often raises questions about documentation integrity.

A Disabled Citizen Abandoned in the Cold

Perhaps the most disturbing detail is one easy for the public to understand: Johnson—visibly disabled, with state-issued handicap plates—was left stranded in the cold after her vehicle was seized.

“Basic humanity was missing,” Johnson said. “But more importantly, ADA protections were completely ignored. That is unconstitutional.”

The Question Now: Will Prosecutors Act?

Johnson’s request is clear:
Place Chief Sean P. Quinn on the Brady/Giglio list under the category of “Official Misconduct / Ratification of Subordinate Dishonesty and Constitutional Violations.”

Her declaration was submitted under penalty of perjury.

With the documents now in the hands of county and state officials, the next move belongs to the prosecution and oversight agencies.

If they agree with Johnson’s findings, Chief Quinn’s name will join the roster of law enforcement officials whose credibility cannot be assumed—and must be disclosed to every defense attorney in New Jersey.

But the questions didn’t end there. As the encounter played out, the traffic stop began to look less like a routine enforcement action and more like a civil-rights flashpoint—one raising concerns about discriminatory enforcement, statutory overreach, and the disregard of jurisdictional boundaries.

The fact that Sgt. Anthony Mazza marked the racial box as (B) for Black on the traffic citation—despite New Jersey law prohibiting officers from listing race on traffic tickets—deepened those concerns. For many observers familiar with Whren v. United States, the landmark Supreme Court case addressing pretextual stops, this detail evoked troubling questions about whether the enforcement decision was influenced by impermissible considerations.

Those observing the case point to the critical distinction Mazza appeared to overlook: 

Title 39 violations are motor-vehicle infractions, not criminal acts. Yet his explanation to Naomi suggested a level of criminality inconsistent with the statutes he invoked. When he claimed he “caught Naomi involving in a crime under Title 39,” the terminology misaligned with the actual nature of the alleged offenses: a stop-sign violation and an unregistered conveyance.

In the aftermath, the issue of the mutual aid agreement became even more central. Legal analysts stress that when an officer acts outside their defined jurisdiction without proper authorization under a valid mutual aid agreement, the legitimacy of the entire stop comes into question. If the agreement was absent, expired, or improperly applied, then the legal foundation of the encounter weakens, and so does every action that followed.

Compounding the controversy, Sgt. Mazza did more than threaten to impound Naomi’s conveyance, he had it towed, a step that escalated the situation and introduced potential due-process concerns.

Now, as the Brady/Giglio complaint process moves forward, the central question becomes: What type of misconduct occurred here? Those familiar with the state’s Brady/Giglio reporting standards suggest the allegations could fall under several categories, including:

• False or misleading statements

• Bias-based policing

• Misuse of authority outside jurisdictional limits

• Improper or unlawful enforcement of statutes

Each of these categories carries weight, particularly when the officer’s credibility is placed under scrutiny—credibility that prosecutors rely on every time that officer steps into a courtroom.

Noneillah Talk Show Will Continue to Follow This Developing Story

Naomi Johnson has made one fact unmistakably clear:
She is no longer just reporting on injustice—she is documenting her own.

And she intends to shine light on every public official who believes they can operate above the Constitution.

More updates will follow as this story develops.

Complaint to Add Chief of Police Sean P. Quinn (Glen Ridge Police Department) to the Brady/Giglio List

Date: November 23, 2025

To: Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Attention: Brady/Giglio Disclosure Unit Veterans Courthouse 50 West Market Street Newark, NJ 07102

CC: New Jersey Attorney General – Division of Criminal Justice Police Training Commission / Brady Unit 25 Market Street, Trenton, NJ 08625

Glen Ridge Borough Administrator Michael Rohal 125 Ridgewood Avenue Glen Ridge, NJ 07028

From: Naomi Johnson [Your Full Address] Glen Ridge, NJ [ZIP] [Phone] | [Email]

Subject: Request to Place Chief Sean P. Quinn on the Brady/Giglio List for Ratification of Subordinate Dishonesty, Failure to Supervise, and Deliberate Indifference to Known Constitutional Violations

Dear Brady/Giglio Coordinator,

I respectfully request that Chief of Police Sean P. Quinn, head of the Glen Ridge Police Department, be added to the Essex County and State of New Jersey Brady/Giglio disclosure lists. Chief Quinn’s deliberate refusal to correct, investigate, or remedy known unconstitutional and dishonest conduct by a subordinate officer (Sgt. Anthony Mazza) on February 24, 2025, and his subsequent ratification of that misconduct through inaction, renders him unfit to provide credible testimony or sworn statements in criminal proceedings.

Single Category of Misconduct (as required by most forms):

“Official Misconduct / Ratification of Subordinate Dishonesty and Constitutional Violations” (or the closest equivalent: “Failure to Supervise Resulting in Ratification of False Statements / Brady Material”)

Factual Summary Supporting Brady/Giglio Placement of Chief Quinn

1. Personal Notice via Certified Writ of Replevin On or about February 26, 2025, I served Chief Sean P. Quinn by certified mail (with return receipt) a Writ of Replevin and accompanying affidavit notifying him that:

   • Sgt. Anthony Mazza had, on February 24, 2025, unlawfully seized and caused to be towed my privately owned 1995 Mustang conveyance without judicial warrant, probable cause of a crime, or statutory authority;
   • I am a disabled civilian with handicap plates;
   • I was left stranded in cold weather in violation of ADA Title II and department SOPs;
   • Sgt. Mazza made provably false and contradictory statements on body-worn camera (calling a Title 39 infraction a “crime”) and added impossible-to-observe violations after the fact;
   • The seizure occurred outside Glen Ridge jurisdiction (Montclair).

   I demanded immediate return of my conveyance without payment of predatory towing fees.

2. Chief Quinn’s Deliberate Inaction and Ratification Despite being the final policymaker and supervisor:

   • Chief Quinn never responded to the certified Writ of Replevin;
   • He refused to order the release of my vehicle without payment to a private towing company;
   • He failed to initiate any supervisory inquiry into Sgt. Mazza’s obvious dishonesty and jurisdictional overreach;
   • He allowed the vehicle to remain impounded for seven days, causing spoilage of groceries and $575.69 in illegal fees;
   • He failed to enforce GRPD Standard Operating Procedures requiring assistance to disabled motorists and prohibiting impoundment solely for unregistered status without additional factors;
   • He failed to enforce the New Jersey Predatory Towing Prevention Act and municipal ordinances prohibiting such seizures;
   • By his silence and inaction, he ratified Sgt. Mazza’s false statements and unconstitutional conduct, making that misconduct official department policy under Monell and supervisory-liability standards.

3. Additional Supervisory Duties Breached by Chief Quinn

   • Failed to review body-worn camera footage showing Sgt. Mazza’s contradictory statements;
   • Failed to reconcile impossible CAD timestamps (officer “arrived” before being dispatched);
   • Failed to discipline or retrain Sgt. Mazza for altering an official uniform summons by handwriting “(B)” for race when no such field exists on New Jersey tickets — evidence of potential racial profiling;
   • Failed to ensure compliance with ADA Title II obligations toward a visibly disabled citizen;
   • Failed to maintain or enforce departmental policy on territorial jurisdiction;
   • Allowed a pattern of refusing to provide required towing reports, CAD records, or assistance to citizens.

Chief Quinn’s deliberate indifference and ratification of known dishonesty and constitutional violations directly impair his credibility as a witness. Prosecutors relying on his testimony, affidavits for warrants, or certifications of department practices would be presenting a witness who has personally endorsed and covered up provable officer untruthfulness.

For these reasons, Chief Sean P. Quinn must be placed on the Brady/Giglio list under the category of ratification of subordinate dishonesty and failure to supervise so that defense counsel and courts may properly evaluate his testimony in any future case.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Respectfully submitted,

Naomi Johnson

Attachments (available upon request):

• Certified mail receipt for Writ of Replevin to Chief Quinn (Feb 26, 2025)
• Body-worn camera transcript excerpts
• CAD report showing impossible timestamps
• Uniform summons with unauthorized “(B)” race notation
• GRPD SOPs on impoundment and disabled-motorist assistance
• Proof of disability and handicap placard/plate

Please confirm receipt and placement of Chief Quinn on the Brady/Giglio list at your earliest convenience.

BREAKING: Noneillah Talk Show Host Naomi Johnson Files Explosive Citizen Complaint to Place Glen Ridge PD Lieutenant on the Brady/Giglio List

 BREAKING: Noneillah Talk Show Host Naomi Johnson Files Explosive Citizen Complaint to Place Glen Ridge PD Lieutenant on the Brady/Giglio List

By the Noneillah Investigative Desk November 23, 2025

In a move that could send shockwaves through the Essex County criminal justice system, Noneillah Talk Show host and outspoken civil-rights advocate Naomi Johnson has personally filed a formal citizen complaint demanding that Glen Ridge Police Lieutenant Timothy Faranda, the department’s own Internal Affairs investigator, be permanently added to New Jersey’s Brady/Giglio impaired-credibility list.

The 12-page complaint, dated today and addressed to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Brady/Giglio Disclosure Unit with copies to the New Jersey Attorney General and Glen Ridge Borough Administrator, accuses Lt. Faranda of orchestrating a “sham investigation” and issuing a “materially false” Internal Affairs report that deliberately whitewashed clear evidence of officer dishonesty and constitutional violations.

This is not a routine citizen grievance. This is a direct attack on the credibility of a senior supervisor whose reports are routinely used by prosecutors to vouch for the honesty of Glen Ridge officers in court. If Johnson’s complaint is upheld, every criminal case in which Lt. Faranda has ever authored an Internal Affairs finding, testified about department practices, or cleared an officer of misconduct could be thrown into jeopardy.

The Incident That Sparked the Firestorm

The complaint stems from a Febuary 24, 2025 traffic stop in which Montclair by Glen Ridge Sgt. Anthony Mazza who pulled over a disabled woman (Johnson alleges it was a targeted stop of a private, non-commercial conveyance), falsely labeled a Title 39 infraction a “crime,” fabricated an inspection-sticker violation that was physically impossible to observe, hand-wrote a racial code on an official summons, and then ordered the vehicle impounded outside Glen Ridge jurisdiction, stranding a visibly disabled citizen in cold weather with no transportation assistance and no proper inventory or tow paperwork.

When Johnson filed a detailed internal affairs complaint supported by body-cam excerpts, medical records, disability documentation, and a estimated 6-page certified rebuttal, the case landed on Lt. Faranda’s desk.

His response? A one-page report (IA 25-5) that declared Sgt. Mazza “followed all procedures under Title 39” and “did not abuse power or authority.”

“This Is Not an Internal Affairs Report – It’s a Whitewash and a Confession” Lt. Timothy Faranda’s July 7, 2025 IA Report (25-5) on Sgt. Anthony Mazza – Exposed and Destroyed

Here is the actual report, signed by Lt. Timothy Faranda, declaring that Sgt. Anthony Mazza:

• “followed all procedures under Title 39”
• “did not abuse power or authority”
• acted appropriately in every way

That conclusion is not just wrong. It is a deliberate, provable lie written to protect a rogue officer and a corrupt department.

Below are ten fatal omissions and falsehoods Faranda intentionally buried. Every single one is on the body-camera, CAD logs, the ticket itself, or the department’s own signed policies.

1. Mazza called a civil Title 39 infraction a “crime” on body-cam — a blatant misrepresentation of law that Faranda never mentions.
2. 
   
   
   
3. Mazza radioed headquarters at timestamp 26:19: stop in Montclair, not Glen Ridge — destroying jurisdiction. Faranda pretends this never happened.
4. Mazza wrote “(B)” for Black on a ticket that has no race field — racial coding condemned by every federal court. Faranda: silent.
5. Mazza falsified the location on the ticket as Glen Ridge — official misconduct (N.J.S.A. 2C:28-7). Faranda calls it “proper.”
6. Mazza towed the car in Montclair with no mutual-aid agreement — trespass and conversion under color of law. Faranda claims “procedure followed.”
7. GRPD SOP “Motor Vehicle Impound and Inventory” (signed by Chief Quinn) mandates officers shall arrange safe transport and never leave motorists stranded. Mazza watched a disabled woman limp away in freezing weather. Faranda never quotes the SOP — because it proves Mazza violated it in writing.
8. Same SOP + ADA Title II + NJLAD required accommodation for a visibly disabled citizen (handicap plates). Mazza gave none. Faranda actually emailed Naomi asking “how exactly” Mazza violated her ADA — proving he never read his own manual.
9. Mazza violated Naomi’s unalienable right to travel (recognized in Shapiro v. Thompson, Crandall v. Nevada, Saenz v. Roe) by treating non-commercial private travel as regulated activity. Faranda treats the Constitution like it doesn’t exist.
10. GRPD SOP “Traffic Enforcement and Control” requires consideration of driver intent and situational factors — and verbal warnings as the default for minor infractions. Mazza never considered intent and went straight to tow. Faranda ignores the SOP again.
11. N.J.S.A. 39:5-25 and decades of case law require 24-hour grace to produce documents at the station before impound for unregistered vehicle. Mazza towed immediately — no grace, no warrant. Faranda pretends this statute doesn’t exist.
12. Mazza told Naomi he had probable cause to pull Naomi because he saw what had happen. A probable cause is criminal not civil. 

Faranda’s report is not an investigation. It is a cover-up on department letterhead.

He had the body-cam. He had the CAD logs. He had the ticket. He had the SOPs signed by his own chief. And he still wrote that Mazza “followed all procedures.”

That single lie makes Lt. Timothy Faranda Brady/Giglio material himself — an Internal Affairs commander who will falsify reports to protect dirty cops.

Both men took an oath to uphold the New Jersey and United States Constitutions. Both have betrayed that oath in writing.

Naomi Johnson is a disabled Black minister who lost her only child to violence and corruption. Glen Ridge decided she was easy prey.

They were wrong.

This report is now evidence — in federal complaints, disciplinary charges, and every future case where Faranda or Mazza dare testify.

The truth is on video. The policies are in black and white. And the cover-up is signed by Lt. Timothy Faranda.

Copy this. Share this. Tag every reporter, every civil-rights organization, and every oversight agency in New Jersey.

Because when an Internal Affairs lieutenant openly lies to protect constitutional violations, the entire department is rotten.

“Naomi Johnson’s Rebuttal: A Masterclass in Dismantling a Sham Internal Affairs Cover-Up”

November 25, 2025 – If Lt. Timothy Faranda’s July 7, 2025, Internal Affairs report on Sgt. Anthony Mazza was a whitewash, then Naomi Johnson’s August 28, 2025, rebuttal is the legal wrecking ball that shatters it to dust. Posted on her blog Soulality link here, this document isn’t just a response – it’s a sovereign declaration of rights, a forensic evisceration of Faranda’s lies, and a blueprint for holding rogue cops and departments accountable.

Clocking in as a formal, 10-page affidavit-style takedown (complete with a table applying criminal doctrines to civil infractions and a screenshot of the IA report), Naomi – identifying herself as a “Private Woman / Beneficial Owner” and “One of the People of New Jersey” – refuses to let Glen Ridge bury her under their procedural bullshit. Her tone? Assertive, unyielding, and laser-focused on sovereignty: the People are supreme, constitutions override statutes, and public servants who swear oaths to uphold the law don’t get a pass for “following policy” when that policy shreds the Bill of Rights.

It sounds? Devastating. Airtight. Revolutionary. This isn’t some rambling rant – it’s a legal manifesto that could (and should) be Exhibit A in a federal §1983 lawsuit. Naomi doesn’t just poke holes; she dynamites the entire foundation of Faranda’s fraud. Let’s break it down, point by furious point, because every word is a nail in the coffin of Glen Ridge PD’s credibility.

The Setup: Faranda’s Report as a House of Cards

Naomi opens by framing the February 24, 2025, incident: a pretextual stop in Montclair (not Glen Ridge), a civil Title 39 “infraction” inflated to a “crime,” an unlawful tow of her non-commercial 1995 Mustang (loaded with groceries that spoiled over seven days in impound), and her abandonment as a disabled woman with chronic pain, PTSD, and mobility issues – all leading to a bogus bench warrant. Faranda’s conclusion? Mazza “acted within his duty,” “followed Title 39,” and “did not abuse power.”

Naomi calls this what it is: a deliberate evasion of constitutional supremacy. Officers swear oaths to the U.S. and NJ Constitutions (Supremacy Clause, Art. VI, Cl. 2), not just internal SOPs or statutes (Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)). “Compliance with department rules or Title 39 does not excuse constitutional violations,” she writes, citing Young v. United States ex rel. Vuitton et Fils S.A., 481 U.S. 787 (1987). Boom. Faranda’s entire report – built on the lie that “policy = law” – crumbles before page 2.

The Rebuttals: A Surgical Strike on Every Omission

Naomi systematically torches Faranda’s “investigation” with evidence he ignored: body-cam audio, CAD logs, the forged ticket, and GRPD’s own signed policies. Here’s the highlight reel – each point a Brady/Giglio landmine for Faranda and Mazza:

1. Probable Cause for a Civil Stop? Hell No. Mazza claimed “probable cause” for a Title 39 infraction – a criminal standard for a civil matter (Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968); Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 (1983)). No reasonable suspicion existed; the stop was pretextual and disproportionate (Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806 (1996)). Faranda? Silent. Naomi: “This misapplication turns administrative enforcement into criminal terror.”
2. Jurisdictional Trespass: Montclair, Not Glen Ridge. Body-cam timestamp 26:19: Mazza radios the stop in Montclair. Ticket falsifies it as Glen Ridge – official misconduct (N.J.S.A. 2C:28-7). No mutual-aid agreement (N.J.S.A. 40A:14-156). Tow happened there too. Faranda pretends borders don’t exist. Naomi eviscerates: All “fruits” (tickets, tow, warrant) are poisonous (Wong Sun v. United States, 371 U.S. 471 (1963); Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961)).
3. Racial Profiling in Ink: The “(B)” Notation. Handwritten “(B)” for Black on a ticket with no race field (AOC Directive #02-07). Prima facie Equal Protection violation (14th Amendment; NJLAD N.J.S.A. 10:5-1). Faranda ignores it. Naomi doesn’t: “This coding reveals selective enforcement against a Black woman exercising her rights.”
4. ADA Annihilation and SOP Sabotage. GRPD SOP “Motor Vehicle Impound and Inventory” (signed by Chief Quinn) mandates safe transport: phone access, waiting for rides, HQ drop-off, or home escort with supervisor OK. “At no time shall operators... be left on their own without assistance.” Mazza? Abandoned her to walk home, exacerbating PTSD and pain. Faranda emailed Naomi asking “how” it violated ADA – as if he never read the manual. Naomi roasts him: “This ignorance proves deliberate indifference” (ADA Title II, 42 U.S.C. §12132; Tennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509 (2004)). Spoiled groceries? $575 fees? All on him.
5. No Grace Period, No Warrant – Just Theft. N.J.S.A. 39:5-25 requires 24 hours to produce docs before impound. Mazza towed instantly, no warrant. “Traffic Enforcement and Control” SOP demands intent assessment and verbal warnings for minors. Faranda claims “procedure followed.” Naomi: Fraud. Theft under color of law.
6. Unalienable Rights? What Unalienable Rights? Naomi invokes NJ Const. Art. I §2 (people sovereign) and federal precedents (Shapiro v. Thompson, 394 U.S. 618 (1969) – right to travel; Rochin v. California, 342 U.S. 165 (1952) – due process). Community caretaking (Cady v. Dombrowski, 413 U.S. 433 (1973))? Doesn’t apply to non-abandoned vehicles. Plain view? No (Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443 (1971)). Faranda’s report? A “flawed, unreliable” dodge of natural law (ubi jus ibi remedium – where there’s a right, there’s a remedy).
7. Oath-Breakers and Public Trust Betrayers. Both Mazza and Faranda swore to uphold constitutions, not “policies.” Naomi cites AmJur (Vol. 55, Police §102): Focus on rules excuses abuse. Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Arts. 7, 9, 21)? Ignored. This isn’t oversight – it’s a “pattern of shielding officers” under Monell (Monell v. Department of Social Services, 436 U.S. 658 (1978)).

The Close: A Demand for Reckoning

Naomi doesn’t beg – she preserves rights for §1983 suits, ADA enforcement, and common-law remedies. She rejects the report’s validity, demands corrective action, and reminds: Public servants serve the People, not vice versa. With a table mapping criminal doctrines to her civil case (e.g., no “automobile exception” for non-crimes, Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132 (1925)), it’s a scholar’s takedown wrapped in a warrior’s fury.

This rebuttal sounds like victory in waiting. It’s exhaustive (legal citations galore), empowering (sovereign language that flips the script), and explosive – perfect for viral shares, FOIA chasers, and DOJ dockets. Faranda’s “investigation”? Exposed as the sham it is. Naomi’s voice? Unbreakable.

If this doesn’t light a fire under Essex County prosecutors and the NJ AG, nothing will. Read it. Weaponize it. Because when a grieving Black disabled mother schools a department on the Constitution, it’s not just a rebuttal – it’s a revolution.

Johnson calls the report “provably false on its face.”

The Five Fatal Flaws That Johnson Says Make Faranda Brady Material

1. Deliberate concealment of provable officer lies Body-worn camera footage clearly shows Sgt. Mazza calling a civil infraction a “crime” and then immediately back-tracking when challenged. Faranda’s report never mentions it. Mazza claimed he saw an expired inspection sticker from behind the vehicle, something Johnson says is optically impossible. Faranda ignored it. Mazza hand-wrote “(B)” for Black on a uniform summons that has no race field, an unauthorized alteration of an official state document. Faranda stayed silent.
2. Willful refusal to apply the U.S. and New Jersey Constitutions Faranda explicitly limited his review to “department policy and Title 39,” pretending the Supremacy Clause doesn’t exist. He never once analyzed Fourth, First, or Fourteenth Amendment violations, ADA Title II failures, or the right to travel in a private conveyance.
3. Falsely certifying compliance with Glen Ridge’s own SOPs The impoundment happened in Montclair (outside jurisdiction), no tow report was completed, no inventory was performed (groceries spoiled for seven days), no transportation was offered to a disabled citizen, and unregistered status alone does not authorize impound under GRPD policy. Faranda declared “all procedures followed.”
4. Blind eye to potential towing-company collusion The same towing company that hauls for Glen Ridge held the vehicle for seven days, racked up predatory fees, and began an abandonment process while the owner was still trying to recover her property. Faranda never asked a single question.
5. One-sided “investigation” that ignored all exculpatory evidence Faranda never interviewed the complainant, never reviewed the certified rebuttal, never examined CAD timestamp contradictions, and never watched the full body-cam footage he had in his possession.

Why This Matters Beyond Glen Ridge

Under Brady v. Maryland and Giglio v. United States, prosecutors have an absolute duty to disclose material that impeaches the credibility of their police witnesses. A law-enforcement officer who knowingly authors a false investigative report is, by definition, Brady/Giglio material.

If the Essex County Prosecutor or New Jersey Attorney General agrees with even a fraction of Johnson’s complaint, Lt. Faranda’s name will be added to the confidential list, and defense attorneys across the state will be entitled to that disclosure in every case where he might testify or where his reports are offered to bolster officer credibility.

Naomi Johnson’s Declaration (excerpt)

“By issuing a report that is provably false on its face, Lt. Faranda has made himself a witness who cannot be believed when he testifies about internal investigations, officer credibility, or department practices. Any prosecutor presenting Lt. Faranda as a witness would be offering impeachable, Brady-material testimony.”

The complaint is signed under penalty of perjury and comes with a mountain of attachments: the full IA report, annotated body-cam transcripts, tow invoices, medical proof of disability, OPRA documents, and Johnson’s own 20-page rebuttal.

As of publication, neither the Glen Ridge Police Department nor the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office has responded to requests for comment.

This is a developing story. The Noneillah Talk Show will continue to follow every step of this complaint as it moves through the Brady/Giglio process, because when the people tasked with investigating police dishonesty become the ones who need to be investigated, the public deserves to know.

Stay tuned. — Noneillah Investigative Team

Complaint to Add Lieutenant Timothy Faranda to the Brady/Giglio List

(Glen Ridge Police Department – Internal Affairs Investigator)

Date: November 23, 2025

To: Essex County Prosecutor’s Office Brady/Giglio Disclosure Unit Veterans Courthouse, Newark, NJ 07102

CC: New Jersey Attorney General – Brady Unit Glen Ridge Borough Administrator

From: Naomi Johnson

Re: Request to Place Lieutenant Timothy Faranda (Internal Affairs) on the Brady/Giglio List for Conducting a Sham Investigation, Ratifying Known Officer Dishonesty, and Producing a Materially False Internal Affairs Report

Single Category of Misconduct (from your drop-down): Operation/Personal Violation / Neglect of Duty and Supervisory Responsibility

Why Lt. Faranda Must Be Brady/Giglio Listed

On July 7, 2025, Lt. Timothy Faranda issued Internal Affairs Report 25-5 (Incident 25-05455) in which he exonerated Sgt. Anthony Mazza and declared that Sgt. Mazza “followed all procedures under Title 39” and “did not abuse power or authority.” That report is materially false, intentionally incomplete, and was written with deliberate indifference to overwhelming evidence of dishonesty and constitutional violations. By issuing a provably false exoneration, Lt. Faranda has destroyed his own credibility as a witness and investigator.

Specific Acts and Omissions that Make Lt. Faranda Brady Material

1. Ignored or Concealed Provable Officer Dishonesty
   • Body-worn camera clearly shows Sgt. Mazza calling a Title 39 infraction a “crime” and then immediately back-tracking — a lie about the legal basis for the stop. Faranda’s report pretends this never happened.
   • Sgt. Mazza added an “inspection sticker” violation that was physically impossible to see from behind the vehicle — Faranda never addressed this fabrication.
   • Sgt. Mazza hand-wrote “(B)” for race on a New Jersey uniform summons that has no race field — Faranda never mentioned this unauthorized alteration of an official document.
2. Refused to Apply the Supremacy Clause Faranda deliberately limited his investigation to “department policy and Title 39” while ignoring the United States Constitution and New Jersey Constitution, which override statutes, policies, and ordinances. He never analyzed:
   • Fourth Amendment unlawful seizure (no warrant, no crime)
   • Fourteenth Amendment due process and equal protection
   • ADA Title II failure to accommodate a visibly disabled citizen
   • First Amendment interference with ministerial travel and religious plaque
   • Right to travel (non-commercial private conveyance)
3. Concealed Clear Violations of Law and Policy He Claims Were Followed Despite having the GRPD SOPs in front of him, Faranda falsely claimed Mazza “followed all procedures” when the evidence showed the exact opposite:
   • Impoundment occurred outside Glen Ridge jurisdiction (Montclair)
   • No transportation assistance offered to a disabled woman left stranded in cold weather
   • No Tow Report completed or provided
   • No inventory of vehicle contents (groceries left to spoil for 7 days)
   • Unregistered status alone does not authorize impoundment under SOP
   • No exigent circumstances or statutory authority existed
4. Ignored Evidence of Possible Collusion / Conflict of Interest
   • E.C.R.B. Towing repeatedly works with Glen Ridge PD
   • Vehicle was held 7 days, predatory fees charged, premature “abandonment” process started
   • Faranda never examined whether any improper relationship or financial motive existed
5. Relied Solely on Sgt. Mazza’s Version and Ignored Contrary Evidence
   • Disregarded BWC footage, CAD timestamp impossibilities, my certified rebuttal (Sept 5, 2025), medical records, disability documentation, and OPRA-produced records
   • Never interviewed me or any witnesses

By issuing a report that is provably false on its face, Lt. Faranda has made himself a witness who cannot be believed when he testifies about internal investigations, officer credibility, or department practices. Any prosecutor presenting Lt. Faranda as a witness (or relying on his IA reports) would be offering impeachable, Brady-material testimony.

For these reasons, Lt. Timothy Faranda must be added to the Brady/Giglio list under:

Operation/Personal Violation / Neglect of Duty and Supervisory Responsibility

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Respectfully, Naomi Johnson

Citizen Complaint: Host Naomi Johnson Files Formal Brady/Giglio Complaint Against Glen Ridge Detective Sergeant

Citizen Complaint: Noneillah Talk Show News Exclusive

Host Naomi Johnson Files Formal Brady/Giglio Complaint Against Glen Ridge Detective Sergeant Daniel Manley

In a stunning development that raises serious questions about transparency and accountability inside the Glen Ridge Police Department, Noneillah Talk Show host Naomi Johnson has formally requested that Essex County Prosecutor’s Office place Detective Sergeant Daniel Manley – the department’s Internal Affairs / Professional Standards supervisor – on the Brady/Giglio impaired-officer list.

The complaint, submitted today (November 23, 2025) to the Essex County Prosecutor’s Brady/Giglio Unit, accuses Det. Sgt. Manley of deliberate misconduct, obstruction of the internal affairs process, providing false legal cover for another officer’s dishonesty, ratifying an unlawful seizure, and later lying to cover his tracks.

What is the Brady/Giglio List?

For those unfamiliar: under Brady v. Maryland (1963) and Giglio v. United States (1972), prosecutors are constitutionally required to disclose to defense attorneys any material evidence of police-officer untruthfulness or misconduct that could impeach an officer’s credibility. Officers placed on a jurisdiction’s “Brady/Giglio list” have their prior dishonest acts flagged in every future criminal case in which they are involved.

The February 2025 Incident and Manley’s Response

On February 24–25, 2025, Naomi Johnson contacted Glen Ridge Police headquarters to file a formal Internal Affairs complaint after she was subjected to what she describes as an unlawful traffic stop, citation, and towing of her private automobile by Sgt. Anthony Mazza.

When the call was routed directly to Det. Sgt. Daniel Manley – the very officer in charge of receiving citizen misconduct complaints – the following alleged misconduct occurred during a recorded phone conversation:

1. Refusal to accept a mandated IA complaint – Manley allegedly told Johnson he did not want a written complaint and refused to open a case, despite her explicit request.
2. Acted as defense counsel for Sgt. Mazza – Repeatedly insisting Mazza “did nothing wrong,” had “probable cause,” and “had the right” to stop, ticket, and tow her vehicle – statements Johnson says are provably false.
3. Admitted the correct legal standard but defended the wrong one – Manley acknowledged on the call that probable cause is a higher standard than reasonable articulable suspicion, yet continued to falsely claim Mazza met the higher (incorrect) standard.
4. Ratified an unlawful seizure and extortion – Told Johnson the only way to retrieve her lawfully owned vehicle was to “bring proof it is registered” and pay the towing company – conditioning release on registration and payment despite no lawful authority to do so.
5. Ignored clear jurisdictional violation – The entire incident occurred in Montclair, NJ (confirmed by Mazza’s own body-camera and radio transmission at timestamp 26:19), yet the ticket falsely lists the location as Glen Ridge. Manley never addressed the discrepancy.
6. Disregarded department towing and mutual-aid policies – Violations that Manley, as Professional Standards supervisor, is duty-bound to investigate.
7. Later lied in a voicemail – Claimed Johnson “misunderstood” the conversation because “no complaint was ever opened” – a statement confirmed by subsequent OPRA (Open Public Records Act) responses showing zero record of any Internal Affairs file.

The Bottom Line from Naomi Johnson:

“Detective Sergeant Manley didn’t just drop the ball – he deliberately buried it. He protected provable officer dishonesty, obstructed the complaint process I’m legally entitled to, and then lied about it later. Any future testimony or Internal Affairs report he touches is now constitutionally suspect. The Essex County Prosecutor has no choice but to add him to the Brady/Giglio list.”

 

Johnson has attached extensive documentation to the complaint, including:

• Call records showing direct transfer to Manley
• Contemporaneous notes and Manley’s follow-up voicemail
• Sgt. Mazza’s body-camera audio proving the stop occurred in Montclair
• The falsified uniform summons listing Glen Ridge
• OPRA response confirming no Internal Affairs complaint was ever created

What Happens Next?

The Essex County Prosecutor’s Brady/Giglio Unit will now review the evidence and determine whether Det. Sgt. Daniel Manley’s actions constitute sustained dishonesty or misconduct severe enough to impair his credibility in court – a decision that could have department-wide implications for cases he has investigated or supervised.

Noneillah Talk Show will continue to follow this story closely and will bring you updates as soon as the Prosecutor’s Office responds.

If you or someone you know has experienced similar treatment when trying to file a police misconduct complaint in New Jersey, reach out to us. Your voice matters.

Stay informed. Stay empowered.

Lets hold these lawless public servant accountable for their actions. 

Down below is the complaint that was submitted to the Brady list.

Complaint to Add Detective Sergeant Daniel Manley to the Brady/Giglio List

(Glen Ridge Police Department – Internal Affairs / Complaint Intake)

Date: November 23, 2025

To: Essex County Prosecutor’s Office – Brady/Giglio Unit

Single Category of Misconduct (drop-down): Operation/Personal Violation / Neglect of Duty and Supervisory Responsibility

Detective Sergeant Daniel Manley is assigned to Internal Affairs / Professional Standards and is the officer citizens are routed to when they call to file a misconduct complaint.

On February 24–25, 2025, I was connected directly to Det. Sgt. Manley to report the unlawful stop, citation, and towing of my private conveyance by Sgt. Anthony Mazza. During that telephone conversation (which I believe was recorded), Manley engaged in the following deliberate misconduct:

1. Refused to accept or document a formal Internal Affairs complaint when I explicitly asked if he wanted me to submit a written complaint about Sgt. Mazza’s actions.
2. Acted as an advocate for Sgt. Mazza, repeatedly stating that Mazza “did nothing wrong,” that Mazza “had the right” to stop me, issue the ticket, and tow my vehicle, and that Mazza had probable cause for the stop (a knowingly false legal statement).
3. Admitted on the call that probable cause is a higher standard than articulable suspicion, yet still defended Mazza’s use of the wrong standard, proving he understood the legal error but chose to cover it up.
4. Told me the only way to get my lawfully-owned private conveyance back was to “bring proof it is registered” and pay the towing company, thereby ratifying an unlawful seizure and extortion of money from a disabled civilian with no lawful authority or jurisdiction to condition release on registration.
5. Ignored that the stop, citation, and tow all occurred in Montclair, NJ (confirmed by Mazza’s own radio transmission captured on body-camera at timestamp 26:19), while the ticket falsely lists the location as Glen Ridge. Manley never addressed this material discrepancy or jurisdictional violation.
6. Ignored GRPD Standard Operating Procedures on towing and mutual-aid agreements that were violated by both Mazza and the department.
7. Later lied to me, leaving a voicemail claiming I “misunderstood” our conversation because no IA complaint was ever opened or documented (confirmed by subsequent OPRA requests).

By refusing to take a mandated complaint, by providing false legal cover for known officer dishonesty and jurisdictional overreach, by ratifying an unlawful seizure and extortion of payment, and by later lying about the existence of a report, Det. Sgt. Daniel Manley knowingly obstructed the internal affairs process, protected provable officer untruthfulness, and jeopardized the safety of a disabled woman.

His actions render any future testimony, complaint-intake statement, or Internal Affairs report authored or influenced by him inherently unreliable and subject to mandatory Brady/Giglio disclosure.

Detective Sergeant Daniel Manley must be placed on the Brady/Giglio list under:

Operation/Personal Violation / Neglect of Duty and Supervisory Responsibility

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Respectfully, Naomi Johnson
