Orwell was right.
You mean when he said “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism, as I understand it.” or something else?
That seems like a reasonable statement by him on his politics and writing, yes, but what does it have to do with idling trucks?
He famously wrote a book about a totalitarian society, where people were encouraged to spy on their neighbors and report them.
Noticing a car is idling on a public street isn’t really spying, is it?
Noticing a vehicle idling on a street isn’t the same thing as noticing a vehicle idling on a street, taking video evidence of it, reporting it and providing a copy of the video with the expectation of getting a cut of the fine.
Is it?
Honestly, even without a financial incentive, I've thought about getting a dashcam to record the fuckheads "rolling coal" in my city and reporting them. Some behavior is so anti social that yes, it should be reported.
