But when you can request a copy of a cctv video, does that not become publishing? Seems very wooly to me.

Presumably any sort of judicial order or action overrides copyright. You can't get out of a mug shot if you're arrested because you happen to be wearing an Armani shirt.
I would imagine not, any more than showing your family photos to a neighbor would count as publishing them.
