I want to see a replay

I was reading DUI Attorney Mark Steven's blog and he touched upon a subject that concerns many DUI attorneys. Why don't more police officers videotape DUI arrests? Clearly, this would be the best evidence of a person's degree of impairment. So, why not use videotape in a DUI investigation?
Mark addresses this issue in his post Why Aren't Most New Hampshire DWI Arrests Video Recorded? He writes:
Just about everywhere you go today in public you are being videotaped. You are videotaped at your bank, supermarket, shopping mall, drive through lines for fast food, donut shops, even little convenience stores. Just about every place is equipped with a video camera these days. If someone holds up a little store or commits just about any crime in public there is a video of the event on the evening news, copied from a surveillance camera. It has become very inexpensive to capture a high quality audio and video recording for safety and security purposes of just about every aspect of our everyday lives.
