Video Evidence Consideration Guide

Summary

To ensure your video evidence is considered in a police misconduct case, label it clearly and submit it directly to the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC). Consider seeking legal advice for assistance with the submission process. Filing an appeal or request for reconsideration may be necessary.

Hi ****, I’m sorry to hear about your situation. To provide accurate information, are you looking for guidance on how to ensure the video is considered, or are you seeking something else?
yes i am looking at guidance on how to get the video considered
Hi ****,
To ensure the video is considered in your case, you could:
- Ensure the video is clearly labeled and easy to locate within your complaint.
- Submit the video directly to the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC) if it hasn't been already.
- Consider seeking legal advice from a lawyer who can assist with the submission process.
If you haven't already, filing an appeal or request for reconsideration may be necessary.

Sure, ****. Here is a draft for your email:

Subject: Request for Review of Case with New Evidence
Dear [Recipient's Name],
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to request a review of my case concerning the incident on December *, *, involving members of the Vancouver Police Department. A 3rd party video, which I included in my original complaint, was not investigated. This video clearly shows that I was the victim of assault, not the perpetrator. The video can be viewed at the following URL: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TL0KbzOY1o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TL0KbzOY1o).
I kindly ask that this video be considered in the review of my case.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
****
