      Its just a modern tech version of the “speed traps” used by small towns all over the country since speed laws first came into existence. They’ll slap a “25MPH” sign on a 55MPH road just outside of town and have a cop sitting there to fine each and every driver who doesn’t know about it already. These have been so abused for years that some towns’ entire revenue streams come from these traps.

      That other user’s ideas can only work in a world where everything is done in good faith. In our world, everything that can be abused for personal gain will be, so ideas and rules need to account for that to help balance things out.
