If you are charged with a serious misdemeanor or greater, you can make a formal request in writing to see the video. The Court should enter an order allowing you to view the video. If you are charged with a simple misdemeanor, there is no requirement that they show it, but if you request the prosecutor probably will allow you to view it.
