It's the kind of thing that makes me wish the police had an easy text line for reporting obvious violations like that. Seems like the kind of thing where you should be able to snap a photo of the vehicle, license plate and violation in one photo and text it off for an officer to look over and verify then write and mail a parking ticket. Best part is, it's a low risk enforcement, and if the law is written well enough it could be a net good in preventing parked cars from blocking shit without lending itself to over-enforcement

That might have been cool 5 years ago ... but in the age of easily available AI photo generation/manipulation, this could be giving false reporters far too much power.
