Lol, so predictable. It’s parking. If they can’t handle it, they can’t. Turning people into a mob of cell phone vigilantes won’t help.
So, why doesn’t this parking issue happen in Japan?
Japanese have manners and the police enforce the laws.
With the inconsiderate and selfish behavior of the Taiwanese people, it’s truly difficult to believe that Taiwan was a colony of Japan for 50 years.
All it took was a bunch of mainlanders coming over here after the civil war to bring everything back to Chinese “standards”.

They sure do. People don’t give a damn and think they can get away with it. And it also tells about bad city road management.

That is a deeper question that I am not prepared to answer 
I was just pointing out that the article says they are unable to process these reports.
More tea-time time for the cops.

This happened yesterday while I parked so my wife could enter 7/11. I pulled off the road even not blocking the motorcycle lane. While there 6 BMW and Benz parked next to me blocking the motorcycle lane and 1/3 of the car lane. The result was a small blockade every time the light changed green and cars tried to work around these 6 cars.
A policeman arrived and just wandered around the cars and peeked into the 7/11 where all the young people driving these cars were buying their drinks. Eventually the kids left 7/11 and drove off at high speeds in a very loud way and actually quite unsafe way considering the cars around them. I guess those stares by the cop will prevent these kids from blocking traffic again.

I understand the frustration with the selfish and idiot parkers. I really do. But there are scenarios in which a cop would refrain from ticketing that wouldn’t happen with a citizen reporter.
My wife goes to pick up our son in our car on his half days. Middle of the afternoon so low traffic on a wide street. The routine is for him to be standing outside while my wife drives by at the designated time. One day he gets in the car, realizes he left his lunchbox at the anchinban, runs back in to receive it. A live cop and there would be no ticket. An idiot citizen driving by just after our son was 3m away from the car and his car camera on, and just like that, a ticket in the mail a few days later.
We get the ticket. We remember how it transpired. Two pissed off people. Pissed off at the overzealous citizen. Pissed off at the system.
OK. I think I’m done with this topic.
Where are the cycling and whisky threads.

Why can they not handle it ?
They don’t look busy to me.
It’s funny the cops can always handle it quickly with the towtruck companies when they are splitting the proceeds.

If they are not going to enforce illegal parking, they could also stop maintaining the red and yellow lines, and save money with painting too.

Better watch out. The government might try and steal your ideas.

I’m okay with that.
It’s not one of my most brilliant ones, anyway!

So pathetic! It reads as ‘We are not able to enforce the law, sorry, lol’.

They could empower the parking ticketing people giving fines.

At least for many of us this “read” is not some shocking news.

You got me. But the article says they can’t.
Or a counter-bounty paid to the reporters of the reporters of the violators. That would fix the vigilante, since self-appointed STAZI thrive on annonimity.
That looks like a good film. Thanks!
Its excellent, and of course necessarily very depressing.
