Original Note:
A 'vigilante' is a person who takes the law into their own hands, administering summary justice without authorisation. Those who submit camera footage are the opposite; supplying evidence to the lawful authorities to take action. Most footage is provided by motorists. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/vigilante https://www.northants.police.uk/news/northants/news/news/2023/august/record-number-of-driving-offence-videos-submitted-during-first-six-months-of-2023/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/02/05/thousands-drivers-prosecuted-angry-motorists-submit-dash-cam/ https://www.wmca.org.uk/news/hundreds-more-bad-drivers-caught-by-the-public-s-video-footage-following-transport-for-west-midlands-appeal/
