mobike and other bike/scooter/whatever sharing apps already turn users into police already. One is encouraged to report a bike that has been parked in an out of reach place, such as in someone's private backyard. I'm quite upset myself when I'm following the map for the only available bike nearby only to find out that it's obviously inside someone's apartment, so I'm torn about my feelings - i don't want to turn into an unpaid vigilante for some Chinese company, but I'm also pretty mad at the assholes who do this and would rather they not get away with it so easily!
