| NYC already tried Snitching as a Service during COVID, and it went terribly. I grew up with a neighbor who would constantly record people and call the cops over every little perceived infraction. Everyone in the neighborhood hated her, including the cops. I do not want to live in a society that encourages those people. |

| Pitting people against each other in the service of the state is likely to cause problems at scale and in the long run. Frankly, I think it's a miracle that nobody has been beaten into a coma or killed over NYC's bounty program yet. |

| Interesting. 'But your honor, it is AI enhanced. I wasn't speeding.' 'Weird, I got this footage here from another angle and it shows you did. We also got the data from your car. You were speeding son.' |
