Can police take your dash cam to use as evidence against you?

Best Answers

Yes, if they do it properly. To take someone from someone is a seizure. A really good reason is needed for this. This is what search warrants are for. The search warrant is to look for evidence. read more

They would need a warrant to take it. They can't just say “hey, give me your dash cam footage.” Well, they can, but if you're dumb enough to give it to them then that's your fault. Anytime a cop asks you for anything other than your ID, insurance and registration, you should ask why he needs it. read more

If what you are really asking is: if I'm in an accident can I not show the dash camera footage, the answer is no. If you had a dash camera in thory you would have to turn the evidence over during the discovery process. read more
