The problem with these, and all, automated systems that detect EVERYTHING is that current code enforcement hardly detects 0.1% of existing violations, by design.

True, but once it's automated, it can easily be archived for future reference. Then it's in your file for who knows what future use.

Abuse of those files is another problem. I'd say it's a separate problem that's possibly even more important to deal with, but it's different from over-enforcement based on the stated purpose of the data collection.
