UK Council Considers Speed Camera Photos Copyrighted
,----[ Quote ]
| The East Sussex, UK Police are attempting to have speed camera photographs
| removed from websites by claiming they represent copyrighted material. In
| particular, the police are targeting a set of images taken in June 2008 that
| motorcyclist Peter Barker used to prove that a radar device that clocked him
| at 38 MPH must have been wrong. Based on measurements of the photographic
| evidence, a Brighton Magistrates Court judge agreed and threw out the case
| against Barker.
