If we’re here (buying another layer of the panopticon) then the next logical step is to create an ADSBexchange-like citizen network, and let people track back.

You can already slap together something with an RTSP stream and Frigate on an individual level. Some people have great views of the road, and some people could just count cars.
Frankly, I can see a lot of benefits for citizens if they could understand and verify which locations police enforce with their physical presence.
As an aside, where the public transparency and oversight for these schemes? It seems like such a powder keg.
