Message: [QUOTE="Jason Simmons, post: 3104633, member: 8275"] Unless they are a party to some court proceeding where that footage is to be used, then they don’t have any ‘automatic right’ to it. The NRL is not much more than a private company at the end of the day. But like anyone else, there are Freedom of Information ( or Right to Information as they are called in Queensland) processes, they can go through in order to obtain a copy. As to their ability to compel Scott to hand it over to them contractually, assuming it has been disclosed to him or his legal representatives in the first place, well that is a bit out of my area of speciality. It is however a central tenet of our legal system though, that defendant’s can only very rarely be compelled to incriminate themselves, so if I were Scott, I’d be inclined to and be seeking advice on telling the NRL to get stuffed, on that point. Particularly if the BWC footage isn’t particularly favourable to him... [/QUOTE]
