    Yes, exactly.

    This is the point of a Public Records law, that it works similarly to a FOIA request… the data is public because the state operates those cams, least they can do is show you what they know.

    Oh, is it concerning how much they know?

    Well, at least you know what they know, as opposed to not knowing what they know.

    WA has state wide initiatives, presumably it would not be too difficult to just attempt a direct vote to ban or otherwise regulate this level/volume of broad surveillance.
