Since April, over 21,000 properties across Dallas, Texas, have been photographed by these cameras and assigned a “blight score”—essentially an official tidiness grade—according to a Wednesday report from the city’s local NBC affiliate. The zip codes with the highest number of civic code violations flagged by the cameras, according to the report, were concentrated in the city’s lower-income southern quadrant. Around 1,800 “courtesy notices” have already been issued by the municipal government to the owners of lower-scoring properties: a warning to clean up their act or start paying fees.
Dallas Texas code enforcement is corrupt as hell, no surprise they will use this to send out more tickets for "tidiness "
I remember talking to someone who worked for the city who said they used this bullshit to target black neighborhoods so they can later find a way to seize their property. Also it was in news this would been 30 years ago. How two code enforcement officers where just sending tickets to random poor neighborhoods that they had not even seen saying they were violation. But after the news report the city claim they addressed the issue. But again no surprise here.
