accident caught on tape

[lmckean]

State is California,

Hi,

I was recently in an accident that they are accepting blame and my wife is having lower back pain that started the next day. She has gone to the doctor and he said it is related to your accident. This happened in a parking lot of an Albertsons which caught it on tape. How can I get a copy of this since they won't give it to me unless an officer shows up. I know I can subpoena but is there other ways.
Thanks

Why do you need the tape if the other party is accepting fault?

They don't have to give it to ANYONE at all absent a subpoena.

With or without a police officer going with you.

In fact without a subpoena, there could be serious chain of custody issues...

You really need to get a lawyer as your wife is seriously injured and time is of the essence
