Why can't you? It's evidence. If they won't show it to you, then get your attorney to subpoena it as evidence in your case.
You can - If you go not guilty for an offence you are accused of the Police are obliged to disclose any evidence that they may hold against you.

You can, if you get your attorney to subpoena it. However, you should realize that the cameras only activate when the overhead lights come on in the Police car. That means that happened after the violation took place and the officer decided to stop you.
Because it might prove your innocence.
