FOIA requests that have to be redacted are labor intensive. However, flock shouldn’t need to be redacted right? They’re just public webcams. Lots of those already exist and many stream live.

The police still have to redact all the times the cops accessed the camera feeds to stalk women, creep on children, and spy on people they don't like, plus remove any instances of the police (both on and off the clock) committing crimes that just happened to get caught by these cameras. Of course it's going to take "14 years of labor" to edit that stuff out.
