Yeah, except I would make this independent of the police entirely. Let the cyclists sue the drivers even. Police generally don't consider cyclists to be human. They don't charge drivers when they kill cyclists, as cops are all fat and lazy and could never dream of cycling on a city street themselves. They consider drivers humans like themselves and cyclists disgusting poors worthy of violence.

You have to cut police completely out of the loop. They simply do not regard cyclists as human beings. This is just going to end up with a bunch of photos and videos sent to the cops, and the cops stating they simply can't do anything about it, because reasons. The same thing happens when a non-rich person sends cops video of their robbery from their home cameras. Cops only care about oppressing minorities and cracking skulls at protests. That's why people become police officers in the first place. Good people don't become cops.

I don't think anything like traffic tickets or such should be 100% automated. I don't mind an automated filtering mechanism but I think every citation should be written out and signed by someone with all the required trainings and such and they should have viewed and verified that in their opinion a violation occured.

You ticket who you want, I'll ticket who I think deserves it most.

Calm down, it was primarily a joke comment.

Yeah there are exceptions I'm sure. Busybodies want all sorts of strangers to suffer for no good reason though. Maybe they are convinced their neighbors are antifa assassins coming to rub them out for their dumbass facebook posts, maybe they think there is a grand conspiracy against them.

Before the internet they were ostracized when they went off the deep end, now they find backup, moral support, and are encouraged by manipulators for all sorts of reasons, and they are encouraged to indulge their paranoia, reinforced in it. On their facebook and nextdoor groups convincing themselves everyone they don't recognize is george soros' henchman canvassing the area to woke bomb it or whatever.

Up voted for the double entendre

Is it? Fine to rat someone out unilaterally because it's not criminal? For one thing, owing money to the city, for non criminal matters like parking tickets, leads to fines being doubled if not paid in a short time period, 10 days usually, less time than many would get a paycheck in. Then if not paid in another period of time, it's often doubled again, and your license is revoked, which will after you pay them off, cost another couple of hundred dollars for a reinstatement fee. You can have your license revoked multiple times, if you owed three tickets, it would require three reinstatement fees to reinstate.

So now it's doubled twice, your license is revoked, and if you don't drive to work anyway, you know, so you can live, they will put out a bench warrant for your arrest. Then, surprise, first contact they grab you and throw you in jail, you might lose your job, they could tow any car you are driving when it happens. Your pet could get sent to the pound and even die from treatment if it's old and special needs.

So now you just ruined someone's life, they lost their car, are hopelessly in debt to the state that leads to larger amounts of fines leveled on them, lost their driver's license, and killed their dog. You think that's ok? Just unilaterally? Because what, there was 2 hour parking and it took them 4 hours? They didn't make it back to feed the meter in time? Because they didn't have enough money to park in a garage and had to use the street for their new job?

You obviously have had a sheltered life, with no idea of the damage you do, the lives you ruin, going about your business as if everyone is treated as you have been, while you open up the working poor to the merciless Tax Farming of Police Departments.
