One doesn’t have to prove there is no probable cause, the burden is on the police and state. That said, probable cause is a very low burden. Probable cause simply means that it is probable that a crime was committed and this person committed it. There is no requirement for body cam or dash can recordings to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt, let alone probable cause. Of course, a review of the charging affidavits and evidence provided should be enough to determine if there is or isn’t probable cause.
