i found out the hard way, u can only get the video if the officer reported that there was an incident with the stop...otherwise, they either trash them or reuse the tapes...it's shitty, but i found this out after a couple cops kicked my ass on tape then destroyed the evidence for my lawyer...

btw...go to court for sure...

if his tag is zip tied on, then i guess he's fucked unless it doesn't flap when riding at all, which if it does then, he knows why he mounted it that way and gets to play the game now...but that fine is still rediculous...good luck
