Ngl would community self-reporting be better? I don't even know how to report traffic violations etc. in the US. Do they also need proof in order to do something about it? I wonder if being able to record and send video to the police of loud vehicles would be better. Or perhaps that could turn out worse?
If a motorcycle is zooming at Mach 3 in a general vicinity of your house it's pretty hard to report due to practical issues like getting shoes on, getting to your Mach 4 capable vehicle, locating the offender and catching up with him to get his plates.
I don't think you want to outsource these kinds of things to the general population. If I have problems with noisy drivers in front of my house, I'd have to stand outside all day waiting for them to take a picture, or I'd have to install a camera. Both aren't things a private person should have to do.
Your solution has the major drawback of not enabling further surveillance of the population under the guise of public safety.
