I can't stress this enough GET THE VIDEO AND THE NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION AS TO WHO SHOT THE VIDEO. Then get an attorney to represent your daughter in the criminal case; he/she will know how to proceed and how to obtain and make use of the video. You will also want to immediately have your daughter file a formal complaint with the police department for the assault that she was a victim of. You will also want to discuss with your attorney options regarding any type of civil lawsuit against the police department. But, first get a lawyer hired to represent your daughter at her arraignment. Do not simply ignore it.
