OBTAINING STREET CAMERA EVIDENCE IN BALTIMORE CITY 

E. Gregory Watson, Esq. Jan. 19, 2024

Footage from street cameras can be a powerful tool to prove liability after an accident in Baltimore City. Obtaining that evidence is possible but it depends on a few factors. 

In Baltimore there are many cameras that are operated by the city, including traffic cameras and surveillance cameras. These cameras are typically installed at intersections and other key locations throughout the city and they can provide valuable footage that can help determine who was at fault in an accident. 

However, in order to obtain access to this footage you would generally need to file a request under Maryland's Public Information Act. This process can be complex and time-consuming and there may be legal requirements that must be met before the footage can be released. 

Additionally, even if you are able to obtain footage from street cameras, it may not necessarily prove liability in your case. The footage may not clearly show who was at fault or may be subject to interpretation, and other evidence and factors may need to be considered in order to determine liability. 

If you have been involved in an accident in Baltimore City and are seeking to prove liability, it's important to consult with an experienced auto accident attorney.   We can help you understand your legal options and advise you on the best way to proceed in your specific case.  Call The Baltimore Accident Center at: (443) 499-2919 for a free consultation
