The footage shows Northamptonshire officers using a spike strip and pinning her down in 2021; Chief Constable Ivan Balhatchet was later fined £50,000 for contempt.
BBC reporting says police repeatedly told courts the body-worn video did not exist, despite audit logs showing officers accessed unreleased clips dozens of times during a four-year legal fight.
Buzzard-Quashie is seeking more than £3m from Northamptonshire and the Met, alleging assault, malicious prosecution and rights breaches, while both forces contest the claims and Northamptonshire has launched a review.
