No, but you can get them working on it. That, and you're not asking them to "release" the information to you, you want them to get started on collecting data for the LEO/investigator. Some places have a camera system that rolls over every few days...some weeks, and others are months. The faster you act, the less there is to sort through.

OP should also file an accident report for hit-n-run.



On a similar (camera related) note, we had a guy at work that stole credit cards from a couple of fellow employees, then went on a shopping spree...during work hours! Our internal camera system wasn't working (ie, recording) at the time, so no dice there - but the places dude went to sure were...they knew when/where to look because the credit card companies had record of the charges, etc...
