The vehicle doesn’t self-snitch. It snitches on other vehicles around it. It apparently uses cameras to do it. It’d only be able to tell cops where the vehicle was when the picture was taken, not where it is.
That’s even less functional, and is to my thinking not even close to enough on its own to hand out tickets, as some people think this will be used for.
This was several years ago, so the law in my state may have changed, but I do remember reading that dashcam footage submitted by a civilian can’t be used by police to issue a ticket after the fact. It can be used as evidence for or against someone if the police do get involved, though.
To put it another way, the officer has to witness the traffic offense themselves in order to issue a ticket. But dashcam footage could be used as evidence to prove someone either was or was not speeding after the ticket was already issued.
You have the constitution to thank! Same reason red light cameras were deemed unconstitutional in most places.
You can tell most of the comment section never reads past the headline
I admittedly only knew it wasn’t self-snitching because I read another comment from someone that had actually read the article.
I did check to confirm before I actually commented myself, though.
