Legal Question in Consumer Law in California

viewing of surveillance tapes

I was wondering what the California law is in regards to the public asking a retail store to view their surveillance tapes. I have a friend who had her bag stolen with all her personal belongings and believes it is on tape. Do we have a right to view the surveillance tapes?
