Traffic Cam Photobooth lets you take a capture from NYC surveillance camera. The city's Department of Transportation does not like that.

    “promoting the unauthorized use of NYC traffic cameras”

    Er, I don’t think NYC got me to agree to an EULA to use their cameras? Is there some bylaw stating that I’m not allowed to be filmed by their cameras AND look at the footage?

      Seems reasonable to make government-owned public cameras’ feeds (or time-delayed) footage available to taxpayers.

    'Was hoping to see some examples, but an internet search didn’t bring anything up. Anyone else find any examples?

      I looked on the press page and found some in the ones that weren’t videos:
