Assuming what you seek is a public document (video tapes are documents under the Public Records Act) subject to disclosure, the first answer is basically correct.



6253.1 et seq. of the Government Code requires the Highway Patrol to assist you with your request for this information. Contact them and ask them what is required to obtain the information you're asking for.How do I get videotape from a CHP car under the California Public Records Act?
DEPENDS ON WHAT IT IS FOR? FOR COURT, SUBPOENA THE TAPE AS A PART OF EVIDENCE. OTHERWISE ASK CHP HOW TO A TAPE AND WHY. TAPE MAY BE MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD BUT IF INFORMATION ON TAPE SHOWS AN INDIVIDUAL(S) THAT MAY BE DAMAGING, THEN IT IS NOT A PUBLIC RECORD WHERE PEOPLE CAN BE IDENTIFIED. PUBLIC RECORDS ARE COURT CASES ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN ADJUDICATED AND PRINTED.
