Very cool article! I'm torn on the "bring your own hard drive" issue. In one way it is very anachronistic given today's cloud technology but the flip side is that the OP was dealt zero procedural roadblocks along the way. Nobody at the city said "No." and they seemed helpful at every step. I'd tally that as a Win in today's bureaucratic and overly secretive world. I find myself wanting to make a FOI request to my city. I have seen tricked out Parking Enforcement cars trolling the streets this year. They have license plate reading cameras mounted along the car's perimeter. I want to know if that information is stored, for how long, and who has access to it. Have any law enforcement agencies queried the database? I would appreciate all the pointers I can get for proceeding with a FOI request. So far, I have been using MuckRock as my primary source of tutorial.
