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.

Extremely pleased with this Law Firm. Super easy to work with online, everything was handled wonderfully, with full communication during every step in the process. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone.

Professional & Trustworthy

I contacted the office after receiving a speeding ticket. I was informed of my options and the likelihood of various outcomes and retained the services of the Azria office. The entire process was seamless and I was informed of the progress of the proceedings every step of the way. In the end, the case was reduced to a non moving violation. I would highly recommend the firm.
