Chicago? The city with the famously horrendous 75 year parking meter deal?
Think of the shareholder value this would create!
I was just thinking that! They’re literally giving free money to a private entity!
What cities really need to do is use this for driver behavior around cyclists. Drivers have to maintain safe passing distances, but they often don’t. And drivers often drive incredibly aggressively, sometimes deliberately driving cyclists off the road. Cyclists should be able to wear cameras and issue tickets to drivers that violate the law. They should get a portion of the ticket revenue for their trouble.
Yeah, I would extend that to basically any vehicle-based crimes. It’s crazy how often people in cars blatantly break laws in dangerous ways, and the only thing preventing death is pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers keeping their heads on swivels.
If a private corporation can take a picture of your license plate and send an automated ticket for speeding, why can’t I submit dashcam footage of a car blowing through a stop sign in a residential neighborhood.
If i can report a truck driver for weaving through traffic to the DOT, why can’t I report a Nissan altima?
I wouldn’t even care if it was like a lower-level offense compared to being ticketed by a driver.
So can I issue parking tickets to cops?
Neat! Do red light runners next! Also apply this to cops.
I’d love to have that in my residential area. Nothing more infuriating than having a car parked across a sidewalk forcing the pedestrian to go into the street to get by.
If the citizens cannot rely on the government to enforce their laws the citizens will rise up and protect themselves.
Oh man. Was kind of hoping the headline meant they were handing out official ticketing capability to every ordinary person.
Would have loved to see that in action.
People with good Photoshop skills are about to have a great way to get back to the people they don’t like
And get convicted of fraud when they fuck with someone who has a dashcam or similar alibi. Risky game
Calm down, it was primarily a joke comment.
Yeah I know, just don’t want people getting ideas
