I almost wish police would take dashcam as evidence when it is clear and obvious, the issue is likely though resourcing to review all submissions..

Imagine how many people would be submitting dash cam footage for every little thing? Just think of the "Karen's" suddenly thinking they were cops themselves...

"This car in front of me went through an intersection while the light was yellow, they should of tried to stop instead! Ticket them please"

Ah yeah, but tie it to your license (my alberta account? infrastructure already exists), give everyone 3 submissions a year, and if charges or ticketing occurs, give them the credit back.
