How to Obtain CCTV Footage
from a Police Station
Need CCTV footage for legal or personal purposes? Follow this detailed guide for the most effective methods.
Step 1: File an RTI Application
Filing a Right to Information (RTI) application is the first step to obtaining CCTV footage. Follow these steps:
-
Draft an RTI application requesting CCTV footage.
-
Submit it to the Public Information Officer (PIO).
-
Wait for 30 days for a response.
Note: Most RTI requests are denied due to privacy or security concerns. In such cases, you must file an appeal with higher authorities.
Step 2: Application to the Area Magistrate
The best and most reliable way to get CCTV footage is by filing an application with the Area Magistrate:
-
Draft a formal application stating the need for CCTV footage.
-
Submit it to the Magistrate’s court.
-
The Magistrate can issue a direct order to the police station.
If the SHO denies:

The Magistrate can issue a show-cause notice to the SHO.

Direct higher authorities to enforce the order.
