I'd make it illegal to park in no parking zones, bike lanes, and turning lanes...
radio chatter from an inexplicable earpiece
What do you mean that's already fucking illegal??
Up the ante:
Create a legal mechanism that legalizes vandalism on illegally parked vehicles.
So if you wanna park illegally, go for it. The odds of a cop seeing you and stopping to cite you may well be in your favor.
But now anyone you inconvenience can, legally, key the shit out of your car, bust out your windows, and knock off your side mirrors.
I heavily disagree, because it puts judgement into the hands of the masses.
But a photo should be proof enough and if the government (whoever is responsible for issuing fines) confirms it is illegal then the owner of the vehicle gets a fine - and whoever reported it gets 10% of it! Imagine how much money could be raised that way to improve schools and stuff!
Also parking too close to a street corner. Technically illegal but very rarely enforced. It is a real safety hazard since, instead of being able to stop at the stop line and see perpendicular traffic, and driver has to enter the intersection to see (and then have their line of sight blocked by a parked vehicle in the perpendicular direction).
It also makes large vehicles like large trucks and busses take turns very wide.
So many people are unaware of this rule. I would that all no parking areas like this and for hydrants have the curb painted a bright colored with the words "no parking". Why make people guess?
