Thanks Tim. The footage is held by a car wash company and they asked me to privately view it, which i did.
That's useful, but if they destroy it, then it's no help.
You'll probably need an injunction to stop them.
They informed me that ONLY the police can retrieve the footage.
That might be company policy, but it isn't law, even in Queensland.
If you subpoena it, they will have to hand it up.
Without one, you'll be nowhere.
I understand breaching a DVO is an offence.
Welcome then, to the informed minority.
And thanks but im not panicking yet lol.
Good. Most males against whom DVOs and like orders are sought usually start with resentment and then move to anger. It's a loss of power and damaged pride thing.
This person has a long history of false allegations against me
Your lawyer should try to get that before the court at the time of the application.
...my primary goal is to seek vexatious litigation against her...
Chances of that? Minimal.
...and preventing this from happening again without substantial evidence.
At risk of sounding discourteous, "that's what they all say".
I don't like your chances. Genuine findings of being a vexatious litigant, especially in the context of domestic violence, are fewer and further between than you might think.
