Yeah, except I would make this independent of the police entirely. Let the cyclists sue the drivers even. Police generally don't consider cyclists to be human. They don't charge drivers when they kill cyclists, as cops are all fat and lazy and could never dream of cycling on a city street themselves. They consider drivers humans like themselves and cyclists disgusting poors worthy of violence.

You have to cut police completely out of the loop. They simply do not regard cyclists as human beings. This is just going to end up with a bunch of photos and videos sent to the cops, and the cops stating they simply can't do anything about it, because reasons. The same thing happens when a non-rich person sends cops video of their robbery from their home cameras. Cops only care about oppressing minorities and cracking skulls at protests. That's why people become police officers in the first place. Good people don't become cops.
