"The harm from public exposure—stigma, harassment, reputational injury, and the permanent loss of privacy—is immediate and irreparable. His attorneys further argued that public distribution of the video would reveal the inside of Timberlake's car, as well as expose highly personal details unrelated to public oversight of governmental operations."
"The footage also includes intimate, highly personal, and sensitive details concerning [Timberlake] and his family, and includes information of medical, familial, otherwise confidential nature that is not necessary to inform the public about governmental operations or the performance of official duties."
Justin Timberlake sought a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to prevent the release of video footage from his June 2024 DUI arrest in Sag Harbor. His legal team argued that public disclosure would constitute an invasion of privacy causing stigma, harassment, and reputational injury. The lawsuit was filed after the Sag Harbor Village Police Department received a Freedom of Information Law request for the footage. Timberlake's attorneys contended the video contains intimate personal details unrelated to governmental oversight, including information about his family and medical matters. The police department had planned to release redacted clips before Timberlake's legal action.
