Ah, excellent. Let's convince the general public to fucking dob on each other. This is totally going to end well.

I hope they have really good gen-AI detection available.

People have been dobbing in other drivers for decades. But fining people who the police didn't actually see based on video not from a police system seems like a stretch in this age of AI generated imagery.

Right - dobbing is one thing. Handing in evidence then backing it up in court is another. The first problem I can see this creating is of people yanking dash cams out of other people's cars, but I can't see how this won't end in increased road rage as well.

well, how is this different from fining someone based on a report that the police didn't see? (eg: littering from car)
