Answer 5

You wouldnt be able to get a copy as for reprisals, the only way you would be able to view it is to identify the person who attacked you

Answer 6

should be able to. for evidence

Answer 7

maybe you could ask the police if you can see it. as the victim they be sympathetic.

Answer 8

Hire an attorney.  If you sue the scumbag who did that to you, you can get a hold of the tape as evidence.

Answer 9

did you die?

Answer 10

Speak to the policeofficer in charge of the investigation.  

Answer 11

What a horrible thing to happen to you.

I'm afraid 'swede' is right though, I don't think it would make much difference whether the offence occurred under English or Scottish law. The tape is evidence for the Crown or in your case the procurator fiscal to bring to court as a prosecution tool.

Once you get the court case out of the way and time for any appeals the defendant may put forward on conviction/sentence, you may be able to get a copy of the tape.

Make sure you place a claim with CICA for your injuries!

Good luck

Answer 12

You are using the USA url Yahoo........I think maybe you should use United Kingdom http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/

Answer 13

If you are suing, then there is no reason you should not get a copy.  For civil courts a copy should be adequate.

Answer 14

Servin officer - u wont get a copy until at least 6 months after any court case finalised just in case theres an appeal from  either side. U may not get a copy then either unless you need it for a legit purpose such as a claim u make in the civil court for damages...........get a solicitor onto it after criminal case finalised..........

Answer 15

You will proberly find it on 'YouTube', everything else seems to find its way on there..lol

Answer 16

no you cant see it.. your just a witness in their investigation because in this country its the police who actually charge him not you, and also because you might want revenge..

personally i think you should be allowed to see it!!
