Oh, sure! In fact, there was a link from HN I can remember from a long time ago where a reporter in the Bay Area did Freedom of Information act to get any records about his car kept by the government. If I remember correctly, he got back way more detail and discovered way more cameras are out there than he thought. So yeah, where there are publicly run cameras like for traffic, that data is usually available to law enforcement without much trouble.
