Body cam footage or dash cam footage can be crucial evidence in a criminal defense case. Law enforcement officers may use body-worn cameras and cameras installed on the dashboard of
police vehicles to collect audio and visual footage. Under Ohio law, these videos are public records and can be used as evidence to show the true sequence of events in criminal defense cases.
Body or Dash Cam Footage Can Be Useful to Show
- Police misconduct
- Discrepancies in officer or witness testimony
- Violation of search and seizure or Miranda rights
Having body cam or dash cam video can be helpful proving your innocence...or guilt. For
example, if you were pulled over for a DUI and you display clear signs of intoxication in thes
officer’s body cam footage, it may be hurtful to your case. However, if an arresting officer’s body
cam footage shows that you were not read your Miranda rights, body cam footage can be
valuable to your case.
