I'm not a cop. To be honest, it's not cops I want to be bestowing comically large numbers of traffic tickets.

If not cops, then who? I thought they're the ones giving out tickets.

They are the ones who currently give out tickets, but others, who might not be armed with lethal weapons, could do it instead. The city has many employees.

I’ll assume you are one based on the response.

Honest question for you: could the city automate bus lane violations and just mail tickets based on license plate?

It's illegal in MA to have automated tickets. The law needs to change first

No, that would require a change in state law.

I think city could do whatever it wants to do. Its the question of who's asking and how much power they got, really.

Based on the response that got me "you hate cops". Right.

I was unsure if there was some kind of law in Massachusetts that prevents it since we don’t seem to have red light cameras and use human meter maids for those types of violations. But thanks for your response

Edit: removed rude remark on my part

Why remove the rude remark? You should've kept it - rude remarks make you look smarter. Happens all the time on Reddit.
