How long before I can show you my crash video?
Discussion
I caught some lunatic driving and (minor) collision on my dashcam in Peterborough two weeks ago. Uploaded to the Cambridgeshire dashcam police portal, written proper report with all the details 10 days ago. Receipt acknowledged but no reply.
I'm not supposed to upload to social media having reported it as a crime, but presumably there comes a point where the police have effectively said not interested and I can show PH the juicy video?

Not going to affect me in anyway, both drivers were idiots and I only go through Peterborough as a last resort. TimmyMallett said:

Why even bother showing it?I'm not supposed to upload to social media having reported it as a crime, but presumably there comes a point where the police have effectively said not interested and I can show PH the juicy video?
Is there a prize on offer or are you after lots of internet pats on back?

No one cares about your dashcam video. HTH.I'm not supposed to upload to social media having reported it as a crime, but presumably there comes a point where the police have effectively said not interested and I can show PH the juicy video?

That's why you've posted ITT.
That's quite a deep point I know.

10 days is not really that long in the grand scheme of things. The guy might just be receiving his first NIP at this point.
I guess it depends on whether you want transient internet cred or something reverberating to actually happen to the driver.
As I say, transient internet cred is my raison d'etre.I guess it depends on whether you want transient internet cred or something reverberating to actually happen to the driver.

I'm sure they are full speed ahead investigating. I have no doubt, nose to the grindstone, when they're not eating donuts in front of Netflix.

It's clear from your first post that you're aware that a prosecution could be jeopardised by you posting the footage online yet you still want to and ask for advice on here when you can. What exactly are you hoping to achieve? Perhaps then we can advise you, the police can get back to Netflix and donuts and you can get on with your busy life.
Rereading my original post, I wasn't quite clear, apologies -
When you make the incident report, you don't actually upload the footage until the police ask for it. (At least on the Cambridgeshire Police part of the dashcam upoad portal).
So...
I've reported an accident, damage occured to two vehicles.
The police still haven't asked for the footage or allowed me to upload it ten days later.
To be serious, someone is probably trying to make an insurance claim at least.

There's always so much angst on these threads
The OP explained why he'dlike to post it, he feels its a 'juicy little video'.
He's posting anonymously, as we all are, so I'm not sure how he'll gain publicity.
We may also learn something from the vid, having said that however, I don't watch those st driving compilations on YouTube, I find them too depressing.

Did you stop to provide your details to the two drivers? Their insurance claim will just continue parallel to the police side of things and it's much more important that they have an independent witness with video footage to help their claim than any police involvement.

In terms of the police side of things, it's just what you've been told. You can either post it up and potentially jeopardise a case or hold fire and give it to the police and they may be able to prosecute.

You should definitely post it on here, as soon as possible. The subsequent interpretations will undoubtedly assist and influence any Police investigation.When you make the incident report, you don't actually upload the footage until the police ask for it.

On the broader point, legally I think it's almost certainly nonsense that posting a realtime video of an incident could ever jeopardise a case. How could it?
