UK answer: you do have the right to see the footage. There was an article on BBC news afew months back (link below). If you can't be bothered to read it:
1. You have the right to see any footage taken of you, under the Data Protection Act.
2. The controllers (i.e. people who own the footage) have 40 days to respond to you.
3. They can charge a maximum of £10 to supply you with the footage.
4. Lots of the controllers don't actually realise any of this.

My sister broke her ankle in a local car park, we noticed a CCTV unit on the wall opposite and asked the local police for footage to substantiate claim. this was handed over no problem. This was in Scotland, the legal system is a bit different over the rest of country. Worth asking though.

If you are in the UK then yes, but you will have to pay for the copy and you cannot see footage of anyone else. IE you cant follow a pretty girl around Tesco's and then ask for the video.

Since you didn't feel it important to state in what country you are located, I can only answer based on U.S. law.
And the answer is of course you can ask and of course the company can say no. And then you can subpoena the footage and the company can have the subpoena quashed on the grounds that it's private property.
So, want to inform us in what country you'd like to ask for the footage?

Some footages have copyright materials in it, and those rights can be prohibitive for an individual...

In the UK yes you can. You may have to apply in writing and you may have to pay cost of copying. You may be able to get the police to get it for you if it refers to a crime against you. I have actually faced this problem!

You can ask, doesn't mean they will grant it... You will probably need to get an attorney and have them file a subpoena to obtain a copy of it.
Now, this also depends.... If its a private company, they will fight you as they do not want to release anything that could cause them a liability suit.
