The Small Claims Court Judge will subpoena (at least in my jurisdiction) information if it is necessary to the case -
The problem with store tapes is that they are recycled frequently, particularly if the tape is not favorable to the store.
Did you also subpoena the store incident report?
The problem with a tape if you have not already seen it and subpena it is that it might be harmful to your case, for example, if you're in high heels and juggling a watermelon (or something). I do slips and falls all the time, view the tape and there's "our" client - in high heel shoes in the Winter. Up until that moment no one was sure about her footwear.
Only you know your circumstances.
