Hessen: Kameras an Bussen sollen Falschparker in Wiesbaden erwischen
www.tagesschau.de
Wiesbaden kämpft gegen Falschparker, die Busspuren und Haltestellen blockieren: Um die Parksünder zu erwischen, haben einige Busse nun Frontkameras. Das soll auch gegen Verspätungen helfen.

I couldn’t find an English language source, so here are some excerpts from the German one, translated with deepl [Stuff in brackets are additions by me]:

Wiesbanden bus driver Antonio Lopes recently got a yellow button next to his steering wheel: if he sees a parking offender blocking the bus lane or a bus stop, he can trigger the front camera. […] The images are sent to the traffic authorities. Drivers face a fine of around 70 euros. If they park in an environmental lane that is only intended for buses and bicycles, they will also receive a point in Flensburg. [Collect too many points and you loose your drivers licence]

    There’s a website called Bike Lane Uprising that has a database of cars violating bike lanes. Could probably raise millions for cities if they allowed cyclists to report violations.
