It's actually much less bad than that. From the video at the top of the article:
• The cameras issued 3,000 tickets which "should have been warnings."
• The cameras issued 800 tickets for "no infraction at all".
So out of 3,800 improperly issued tickets (!), under 25% went to people who were legally parked. The other 75% went to people who broke the law but should have been let off with a warning. As a bus rider, I don't feel so bad for them tbqh.
I don't think we know the total number of properly issued tickets from these cameras, but it's likely much higher!
> According to the New York City Department of Transportation, the city’s automated cameras – including red light cameras, speed cameras, and bus lane cameras – issue more than 40,000 violations per day.
That includes many more types of cameras, but it's also per day!
