Can we get that for reporting cars parked in bus and tramway lanes?

And bike lanes.

Idling is illegal here often but I see vehicles doing it all the time. Would love if a scheme like this existed in the UK

It also depends if they want to enforce it.

A lot of things are illegal to do in the US but ignored, but someone has to actively enforce it. Which is a police problem on its own.

There's nothing to enforce any random person can send the video which is then watched and a fine assessed. How do you think he's making money if they aren't collecting the fines

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 days ago

Every city should do this.

Not sure why the meter maids aren’t doing this instead of turning the people against each other

[–] bytesonbike@discuss.online 8 points 3 days ago

Where I grew up, meter checkers were getting threatened with assault for writing up parking tickets.

The current city I'm in, the meter checkers never leave their cars. They take a photo of the offense, and mail their tickets.

I guess some trucks need to idle their engine to keep the refrigerator running so food doesn’t spoil?

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 days ago

well they’d better go catch it
