Yeah, I would extend that to basically any vehicle-based crimes. It's crazy how often people in cars blatantly break laws in dangerous ways, and the only thing preventing death is pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers keeping their heads on swivels.
If a private corporation can take a picture of your license plate and send an automated ticket for speeding, why can't I submit dashcam footage of a car blowing through a stop sign in a residential neighborhood.
If i can report a truck driver for weaving through traffic to the DOT, why can't I report a Nissan altima?
I wouldn't even care if it was like a lower-level offense compared to being ticketed by a driver.
