The cameras monitoring traffic are not recorded for a great many reasons among them the amount of storage it would take to store the images from literally hundreds of cameras for the length of time required by state records retention laws. Another reason is the traffic cameras are low resolution and could possibly identify the make, model and color of a car but couldn't read the license plate.
King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg is pushing for a change in state law that would allow law enforcement to access red light, traffic safety and toll camera footage while investigating crimes.
I like the requirement that a judge must sign off on every search.
I always assumed the police already had access to those cameras. It makes sense especially since they are only monitoring public areas (roads.)
If you are talking about the traffic cameras used by the DOTs, they have always had access to them. The two issues for police departments are the fact the images are available in real time only and the images are not "evidence ready" high resolution. This goes to the different uses. The police want images that can be used for evidence and identification while the DOT is only interested in seeing if there are objects present. The difference in cost of the cameras is often an order of magnitude.
that's great but,
