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.
Your solution has the major drawback of not enabling further surveillance of the population under the guise of public safety.
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.
