    Where I am you can collect a bounty for reporting people who idle cars like this. It’s a massive contributor to smog.

      Some one is trying to espacpe the heat and their only option is the ac on their car, and you’re looking to report them?

      Report them so they can just die from heatstroke instead? Bet you call the cops on single mothers shoplifting food for their kids too, don’t you?

        Sure I mean I suppose it is possible that op lives in a very mixed income area where you have single family homes with $40k worth of solar infrastructure on their roof, right next to starving single mothers. But let’s be honest here. There’s a pretty high chance that the people in question are exactly the kind of selfish assholes who vote for policies which make sure single mothers have no option but to shoplift food, and are also exactly the kind of people the “no idling vehicles” laws are intended to target.

        But I guess holding a pitchfork in the air is easier than critical thinking.
