Do you have the right to view police video of what you are being charged for?

In the United States, you have the right to view all the evidence against you, but not necessarily immediately at the time of your arrest. After you are charged, your attorney can file "discovery" motions which require the police to disclose all evidence they have on the case, including evidence for and against you.
