<p>Back to the "fake" ticket idea. That would be cool.</p>
<p>I've also thought about getting a 100 of the Sticker Junkie Monkey stickers that say</p>
<p>"I loiter in bike lanes..." and slapping them on the back of offending vehicles. Wonder how long it would take before the driver noticed it was there?</p>

<p>The "Active Citizens Ticket Brigade" idea sounds like a bunch of neighborhood busy bodies that think they should be able to dictate the lives of everyone around them. I would actively oppose such legislation.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And yes, never going to survive legal challenge. Oh, and how long till one of the busy bodies gets shot for pissing someone off?</p>

Wow, okay.<br />
<br />
While i understand the need to keep the bike lane clear i am NOT a fan of this form of combating the issue. I have been an outspoken critic of red light and speed cameras automating the job of ticket writing. This really is no better. not a fan of rating your neighbours out, or having cameras everywhere. 1984, THX1138, F 451, Blade Runner all of these stories paint a drab controlled dystopian society whet we are all watched all the time with both the govt and neighbours "doing the…

I give em a look or the finger but will not suppprt this citizen justice brigade. Maybe its a slight over reaction to where you all are going.<br />

Would you support a cager stopped at an intersection with a camera phone sending video via email to the city for facial recognition automated tickets for bikes running a stop sign?

<p>Hmmm, lets say for example 2 or more Chainlinkers took pics of the offender and sent them along to this site tagged with the proper information so that they end up in the same folder. Then let's say we had some sort of automated complaint system that forwarded this evidence to the appropriate municipal service.

Maybe the Chainlink could get a cut of the revenue as well. </p>
<p>Let's say the Chainlink put up some ads along the Dearborn bike lane making this known. Maybe spend some of that donation money on advertising.<br/> <br/> <cite>Chi Lowe 12.5+ mi said:</cite></p>

<p>Another idea is make up fake tickets (obviously fake, but with a real orange envelope) and we cyclists stick them on the front of their windows as a warning.... </p>
