   When there are people involved, information will become public.
   
   
   The only thing we can do is limit the damage by NOT bowing to the governments desire to create an all inclusive database that will have everything from your name, address and bloodtype to your favorite color and political views.

   Secrets

   Reminds me of the saying: Three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead.

   Great...

   
   The state is unable to keep the videos private -- and rather than punish themselves, they sue YouTube.
   
   
   Let me guess they are suing for some form of infringement right?

   Sunshine laws, there is a reason they are called

   Sunshine laws.
   You cannot hid you activity under a rock for long.
   If it is the government, then it is you.
   
   You cannot sue the government because 'it' says that you would be suing yourself. This also means that the government cannot sue the people because that is the people simply suing itself.
   
   Government cannot keep secret just because it might embarass someone.
   Sunshine laws.

   aren't government created videos public domain?

   Like with the lawsuit over the copied C-span videos. The lawsuit had no legs because the video was shot by the government and therefore is automatically public domain. Would the same rule not apply to the traffic camera videos? In any case, sounds like NJ is about to get a good explanation of the Streisand Effect.

   Re: aren't government created videos public domain

   What's the Streisand Effect? Sorry to ask, but I'm in the UK, and have clearly missed something.

   In short, with the dawning of the interwebs, the more you try and cover up something once its out into the net, the more publicity you generate for it.

    Best of Mall Cop videos?

    Hey, ix-nay on the cop-car videos. I want to see Mall Cop "Best of" compliations! THink about all the teenage tarts that the average suburban mall contains. Think about all the surveillance cameras. THink about bored, minimum-wage mall cops. Do you think that a huge quantity of micro-mini-skirt, nipple-popper and cleavage videos don't exist? Do these show up on You-Tube?

    public + public + public + public = state secret?

    A public entity uses public funds to set up a camera to record occurences in a public place --- presumably without a warrant, since there would be no specifics known in advance, and therefore presumably doing nothing that would not be permissible for any ordinary member of the public. Can someone explain to me why the resulting video wouldn't be public property anyway? If I do something embarassing in the middle of Main Street, since when do I have a complaint if someone publishes a picture of it? Peeking in my window is one thing, but if I make an ass of myself in front of your face, isn't that my problem?

    it is good on Surveillance Camera Video Finding Its Way To YouTube. In short, with the dawning of the interwebs, the more you try and cover up something once its out into the net, the more publicity you generate for it. It is good one. http://safetechalarms.com/
