My experience in the US is that video alone is not sufficient to get a bad driver arrested. I'm a cyclist, and I was able to get a driver arrested for some misbehavior through a combination of helmet cam video and the fact that they were driving for Uber at the time so Uber's GPS placed them at the scene of the crime at the time of the crime. The driver plead guilty to a misdemeanor. This surprised one local bike activist who seemed to think the local police wouldn't do anything regardless of the amount of evidence.
