How do you obtain a police car video for an improper lane usage ticket before you plead the ticket?
Anonymous5 views3 answers
A ticket was issued after a stop at 1:30AM for improper lane usage. The officer said he was looking for DUI. He indicated the car tire touched (and later said crossed) the double yellow line on a 4-lane road with painted median. Before pleading the $75 ticket I would like to see the video.
If your state allows for discovery in traffic cases you can request it that way. If not, try a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Consult an attorney licensed in your state who handles such matters for a more precise answer.
Without going into discovery intricacies the very first thing you need to do is to consult a criminal defense attorney for the best handling of your case. You never hear about people attempting to practice medicine and do an open heart surgery on themselves, do you?

Contact the police department to ascertain if there is a video. You can subpoena the video to court, but for some unknown reason, some police departments are allowed to charge you for a copy of the video.
