Cameras or online posts may matter to my case

General information for New Jersey, New York and Washington, DC · Last updated

Quick answer

Preserve lawful evidence promptly; recordings can be overwritten quickly.

Do now

Identify camera locations, owners, dates, and time ranges. Keep original dashcam files and public post URLs. Ask a lawyer about preservation requests and obtaining records lawfully. Keep your own posts and messages intact.

Watch for

Do not trespass, impersonate someone, or delete material to hide it from a case. Privacy settings do not guarantee a post will remain unavailable in litigation.
