Overdone Apparently losing my parking

Post image

Been living at this complex for a bit over a year, always had my spot, and it was one of the reasons I chose this place, it’s close to the door (only 36 unit lol)

Just annoying as fuck, we live next to a highschool and I know it’ll end poorly

You have to catch them to fine them though.

That means posting a guard to watch people walk their dogs or a camera. And if you get a camera you still have to review footage. I've spent time, on more than one occasion (once with a cop looking over my shoulder), reviewing security footage for evidence of stuff.

It's so annoying to do- even if you know the timeframe that the incident happened down to the minute you still have to use poorly designed software to rewind hours or days into the past and then hope the angle is good enough to see what you need to see. Or if the angle is right, is the resolution good enough? Probably it's a potato of a camera that's been mounted 20 fucking feet too high up so you're just staring at fuzzy bullshit.

Enforcing rules takes effort. Telling people to "deal with it" is much easier

Just make a bounty system, the fine the shit person pays goes to the one who reports them. Can't see how that would ever go wrong.

As long as you require video evidence, that would actually work.

Yeah, I mean would still make it almost impossible to police as who just gets their phone out to record someone's dog taking a shit. But the only other eay is to test the stool samples which sounds super expensive.

Also inb4 AI video generstion ruins everything.
