Why this matters

In Washington state, one person filed 53 records requests to municipalities running Flock Safety cameras. Agencies that stonewalled or ignored the requests ended up settling for a combined $300,000, and 13 cancelled their Flock contracts entirely. Public records laws exist in every state — you don't need a lawyer to use them.
