Kameras an Bussen sollen Falschparker in Wiesbaden erwischen
www.tagesschau.de
Wiesbaden kämpft gegen Falschparker, die Busspuren und Haltestellen blockieren: Um die Parksünder zu erwischen, haben einige Busse nun Frontkameras. Das soll auch gegen Verspätungen helfen.

I couldn’t find an English language source, so here are some excerpts from the German one, translated with deepl [Stuff in brackets are additions by me]:

Wiesbanden bus driver Antonio Lopes recently got a yellow button next to his steering wheel: if he sees a parking offender blocking the bus lane or a bus stop, he can trigger the front camera. […] The images are sent to the traffic authorities. Drivers face a fine of around 70 euros. If they park in an environmental lane that is only intended for buses and bicycles, they will also receive a point in Flensburg. [Collect too many points and you loose your drivers licence]

    Carbrains often have a victim complex - anytime they’re penalized or there’s the threat of penalty for doing something stupid and dangerous, they whine and cry and try to skirt the law (tinting windows, radar detectors, license plates that supposedly traffic cams can’t see, etc). Biggest bunch of babies.
