Aside from that being 20/20
Aside from that being 20/20 hindsight, you’d had to have made a policy decision to disable the camera mic. If it goes to court, you’ll have to supply the original which will have sound. Whether the police could demand the original before then as part of their investigation, I don’t know.

“A businessman who mowed down a group of teenagers with his 4×4 before reversing over one of them after becoming infuriated at them walking in the middle of the road has avoided jail.
He has two very young children aged one and four who rely on him as does his long suffering partner.”
He clams to have adhd – what hope for the children ?

But the word ‘likely’ does require a degree of proof not just a claim.
How likely was it that the driver was distressed?
That’s why you need a lawyer present.It does say
It does say
However, it is important to remember that proving the defendant’s intent is not enough. There must also be evidence of somebody (which need not be the person targeted) suffering actual harassment, alarm or distress as a result.I don’t think it’s enough that the driver ( having sworn in the same manner) claims distress. That’s why I’ve said in my posts that the op should get a solicitor. There is a defence to the charge but you’d need legal assistance to demonstrate that

A solicitor would have a field day with him given the 3 points.That’s not quite right
That’s not quite right
(3)It is a defence for the accused to prove—
(a)that he had no reason to believe that there was any person within hearing or sight who was likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress
So not about a hypothetical person.
Does the footage show any third party nearby as the driver clearly would not be distressed.
Get a solicitor if you do end up in court.
