...can yards and house fronts for code violations: overgrown grass, illegal dumping, peeling paint...

I'm sure nobody's going to get outrageous fines due to an AI's false positives.

Why the fuck is "overgrown grass' illegal?

Who wants to live in these places

I genuinely hope it does nothing but drown people in false positives, to the point where the people who put this idea forward have to leave the state under witness protection.

Unfortunately, it's probably just going to end up fucking a bunch of innocent people over, and the people who put the idea forward will take a nice vacation before returning to their life as normal.
