Not “Public Domain”. That has a specific meaning in copyright law. It’s about creative works that are owned by the public and not subject to copyright.
What the judge decided is that their outputs are Public Records: “qualified as public records subject to the state’s Public Records Act”.
I may have misread but it seems the article says the records are qualify as public records and so can be requested by anyone.
That’s not the same thing as public domain, unless I’m mistaken.
The ruling came after the cities of Sedro Woolley and Stanwood sued Jose Rodriguez in civil court to block his records requests. Both cities have since turned off their Flock camera systems.
Great outcome
Flock cameras should be illegal, and it would be better if they were all destroyed.
They do so much damage to privacy. There’s no way these things should exist.
As a polite reminder there’s a map of these cameras and if you see a camera not on the map, you can add it.
lol, stick a couple in a police union hall and see how fast the privacy walls go up.
Put a license plate reader indoors?
I do like like them, these anti privacy pieces of shit.
I do not like these flock cameras. I do not like them one bit.
“Would you like them in a store?
Would you let us build some more?”“I would not like them in a store.
I will not let you build some more.
I don’t want you to track my van.
I do not like them, Sam-Alt-man!”
