If you were recently arrested for a DUI, you are entitled as a matter of law to have a copy of the police report and all video tapes with respect to your arrest. All you need to do is request the district attorney's office to provide such documentation in writing.
I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney about your situation.
