Traffic Watch is an online tool that allows people to use their photos or videos to report traffic violations, speeding and reckless driving.
Jamie Donnelly After a record-breaking year in traffic fatalities, Tucson police are asking drivers to go online to identify dangerous drivers using dash-cam videos and images.
“Right now we're under 20 motorcycle officers, so obviously, they can't be throughout the entire city,” Lt. Lauren Pettey, who is a part of TPD’s traffic division, said. “This is a good way to get the community involved and report these type of driving infractions.” Those who report violations without photo or video will have to describe the driver in the question. In those situations, Pettey said TPD will not be able to issue a citation, but will send a letter instead.
“It's a community, it's not the government watching you,” Fritsch said. “It’s hey, I'm watching my neighbor, because I care about my neighbor's safety, I don't want them to get hit by a car on the way to the store. So that's where it's different for me in my eyes.” Recently, Marquis said they thought they had a good submission from someone who included photo proof. However, through the vetting process, it was discovered the individual had “ulterior motives.”
