insanely dope, but is this in wide use or is it like a tech demo or a trial run by a single department?

They're probably giving out fines too. China loves using small fines for minor crimes.
Small fines consistently applied are more effective than random large punishments in deterring crime. Some cities even have fair checkers who can't give out tickets, just ask you to get off at the next stop and it's just as effective.
More effective than random large punishments, sure, but fines are still a fundamentally ineffective way of discouraging whatever behavior. If something is punishable by a fine, that means poor people aren't allowed to do it and rich people are, nothing more and nothing less.
Fine as a portion of income.
Or better yet, require the person do X hours community service.
Fine as a portion of income.
No, that really doesn't fix it. 50% of Elon Musk's income is an absurd, unfathomable amount of money, and it could vanish into the ether without affecting his quality of life at all. 50% of the average person's income would put them on the streets.

Purely from a utilitarian point this is far more effective anyway. I imagine you can carry multiple of these in a police car or have it stored nearby and using this disrupts traffic far less than an actual tow truck. Also seems to be far faster to actually solve the problem which is relevant for critical situations e.g hospitals.
