[QUOTE="cbj5259, post: 14993749, member: 75268"] In most cases dispatchers are not police officers. Their job is to obtain the pertinent information, pass along any emergency information you may need to assist you and to inform the incoming police officers of the call. Depending on which one you talk to you may get different responses. As far as dash cam video goes, I'm not sure what the laws are in Colorado. In my commonwealth here, generally dash cam video from a complaining citizen is not permissible in summary traffic cases because of the fact that there is no chain of custody regarding content/editing, etc. Even our cruiser videos are uploaded to a third party server so that a defense can't be that the police department had access to the content for editing purposes. We can view the videos, but if we want copies for court/evidence we have to get the copies from the company that administers the server. There are a bunch of safeguards in place and chain of custody forms that must be completed to show that the videos are authentic and unedited. Now in cases of major crimes (assaults, murders, serious crimes, etc) the DA will make exceptions for that as smartphone camera footage or dash cam footage can be a valuable resource in an investigation...even then, defense attorneys will challenge it.
