Street sweepers could soon be keeping a look out for parking scofflaws.
According to the New York Times, the city is asking the state for permission to install cameras on street sweepers to help catch people breaking alternate side parking rules.
A bill before the state legislature would allow the city to use the cameras to record the license plates of illegally parked cars.
The bill calls for permission to put cameras on a limited number of sweepers as a pilot program in 25 of the city’s 59 community districts.

This is absurd. How can a camera differentiate between a parked car & a car with the driver sitting in it which is perfectly legal?
why do you need sweepers,stop dumping garbage
How are they exactly going to check the window, whether there is a parking placard there or not?
will NOT pass, just like the electronic wheel locks instead of towing.
