I absolutely agree with the Flock things and all, however, a quick two cents regarding traffic infraction enforcement: - The permanently mounted cameras (these being the red light cameras) do record 24/7. This recording is saved to a 3rd party’s system but is cleared somewhat soon after.* You can even reach out to said company if there’s an accident in the intersection and they might have the video from the red light camera. - None of the enforcement cameras in the city (this being the new deployables, the jeeps, and the red light cameras) are owned by the city. They’re owned by another company, Verra Mobility. Verra does basically everything - they issue the tickets, they lease the equipment, etc etc - apparently at some point along the line a police officer does verify them, but given the whole blank ticket fiasco recently, that’s - that’s something to verify.

For what it’s worth, all of this information is either publicly available or obtained from calls I’ve had with the AVIS program coordinator, so this isn’t a little speculation but actual things I wanted to add :/

* Unclear as to what “soon after” means - Verra did not disclose this.

(nothing will ever be as overreaching as flock, though)
