Traffic Camera 'Selfie' Creator Holds Cease and Desist Letter in Front of Traffic Cam
Artist Morry Kolman made a website called Traffic Cam Photobooth that lets people take βselfiesβ using publicly-available feeds from traffic cameras. The New York City Department of Transportation sent him a cease and desist letter demanding he cut it out. In response, he kept the site online and held the letter up to a traffic camera, according to Kolmanβs posts on social media.
In the letter sent on November 6, NYC DOT demands Kolman βimmediately remove and disable all portions of TCPβs website that relates to NYC traffic cameras and/or encourages members of the public to engage in dangerous and unauthorized behavior.β The department claims in the letter that Kolmanβs project is βpromoting the unauthorized use of NYC traffic camerasβ and βencourages pedestrians to violate NYC traffic rules and engage in dangerous behavior.βΒ Β
