Couldn’t those people be used elsewhere if we applied a bounty program in DC? If citizens were allowed to ticket, they would not need a street ticketing team. The current parking enforcement people could be utilized for booting, vin checking for tow, the stuff they don’t have the manpower or time for now.

No because people are only reporting illegal parking in flagrant cases, and hardly even that. For every person that reports a car parked on the sidewalk, there are 20+, maybe 50+ people that just walk around it.

Deputizing all meter maids to do booting of serial moving violators though seems ideal

Oh my goodness, some of the bounties in NYC are huge. I think it’s half the ticket amount. I don’t even have a shitty job but please believe I would be out there doing my part with my fellow Washingtonians💯. I have a feeling people would be RACING to send the first pic of the violation.
