Fight over Bieber arrest video in court

Justin Bieber's lawyers have filed a motion in a US court to prevent news orgnisations from obtaining unreleased video of the star's arrest in Miami.

A court hearing has been scheduled on a motion by Justin Bieber's lawyers to prevent news organisations from obtaining unreleased video of the pop singer after his arrest last month in South Florida.

The hearing was set for next Thursday before a Miami-Dade County judge. The 19-year-old pop singer's lawyers say in the motion they want more time to review the video showing him in custody.

Lawyers for news organisations say there's no basis under Florida public records laws to keep the video under wraps.

Bieber will face court on March 3 to face charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an invalid license. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Police say Bieber was arrested after an illegal street drag race in Miami Beach.
