Justin Timberlake already pled guilty to driving while ability impaired ... and, that's that, it seems -- 'cause the public probably isn't gonna see footage from his arrest.

TMZ put in a public records request for the body cam footage of Justin's traffic stop and subsequent arrest from Tuesday, June 18 ... but, instead of receiving the footage, the Office of the Suffolk County District Attorney told us it wouldn’t be released because the parties agreed to seal it.

It looks like JT's team and the prosecutors mutually agreed to seal the video ... preventing people from accessing it outside of the prosecutors and Timberlake’s team.

Suga was spotted by a police officer in Hannam-dong in Yongsan District, in central Seoul, South Korea -- and was asked to take a breathalyzer test ... which he failed.

His license has since been revoked, and he has been slapped with a fine over the incident.

Justin Timberlake's lawyer may be convinced the singer wasn't intoxicated during his DWI arrest ... but new police documents paint a totally different picture of JT's state on June 18.

In the documents ... the pop star verbally refused a Breathalyzer test 3 times after he was pulled over by rookie cop Michael Arkinson for blowing through a stop sign in Sag Harbor.

Per Arkinson's notes, he followed field procedure, as he observed several signs of JT's alleged intoxication ... including the odor of alcohol, glassy eyes, divided attention, and an unsteady foot. Daily Mail was first to report the news.
