Do you park in NYC? I don't think a single photograph is going to convey sufficient information to make it clear that someone is violating parking rules, many of which are temporal.

I think it would also be weird to penalize people for reports that were ultimately un-actionable. Can you point to any government function that has a similar mechanism?

Why does it need to be a single photo?

To the extent I suggested penalties, it's only in reducing bounties payable. That's less a penalty than recognition of costs.


> I don't think a single photograph is going to convey sufficient information

Seems like the obvious solution is: multiple photos!
