In NYC we have the Reported App [1] that lets anyone report driving violations for TLC vehicles (cabs & ubers mostly) which is the first time I've ever seen a public smartphone app actually have an impact.
Reports go to the TLC commission who actually do process an enforcement (it takes a while) and they issue decently steep fines and points. It's basically the only way bike lane violations are ever enforced.
Not sure how I'd feel about something like this rolling out officially where we're making citizens take over the role of enforcement agent in general. I'd much prefer the city implement more aggressive automated enforcement. As it stands we turn the bloody speed cameras OFF at night... as if speeding stops being illegal after 10pm!
