Can I have access to the officer's dashboard camera footage?

by Seth Azria on 4/30/2019

Dashboard camera evidence may be available at a trial, but usually not before.

Having access to information prior to trial is generally know at law as “discovery.” New York Courts have held that while you do have a right to supporting deposition,  there is no constitutional right to general discovery in a traffic case.

This means that before actually beginning a trial, and perhaps having the prosecutor introduce the dash cam evidence, you do not generally have a right to see it.

fter 6 years of obeying the speed limit (or rather, not getting caught), my luck ran out and I was stopped for a 74/55. I called David and he immediately remembered me from 6 years ago and was happy to help me out again! I was impressed yet again, both with his professionalism , communication, and expedience (also impressed that the rate was not much more). After many failed attempts at managing this ticket myself and contacting the Court, David was immediately able to get the attention of the relevant parties. Within weeks, my ticket was completely dismissed! I cannot recommend David and his office enough! Although I would rather not need to seek this kind of counsel, I am sure I will be calling him back next time I find myself seeing blue in my rear view. Thanks David!

After getting two tickets within a month, David reduced my retainer fee on the second ticket as a "returning client" discount. I knew I had made the right choice at that point. David was personally accessible to any and all concerns that I had regarding my tickets. His staff was also very pleasant and extremely diligent in making sure we had everything in place. David was successful in negotiating what could have been a total of 8+ points between two tickets down to only 2 points. I will refer David to all of my NY friends as my experience made the best out of an otherwise unfortunate situation.

The friendly and courteous team at Azria & Bruffett made dealing with my ticket a breeze. I was quickly able to resolve the issue with a defensive driving course (the refresher helped) and I was able to put it behind me to become more mindful on the road.
Thanks again for all of your assistance.

Mr. Bruffett was very extremely knowledgeable about handling my speeding ticket. I did not know whom he was, he took my phone call personally and then had my ticket dismissed. The fact that he spoke with me personally made me feel very comfortable. His paralegal always handled my questions promptly and courteously. I couldn't be happier with Mr. Bruffett's handling of my ticket for me. I didn't have to appear in a court appearance which would have cost me a day's pay. So, I hope that if you find yourself in need of a traffic attorney.. this is your GUY!
