After a nationwide campaign to crack down on child trafficking by posting pictures of beggars online, many Beijingers are now using the same tactic to capture rule-breaking drivers.
A netizen named "Blue Sand" on Monday posted 22 images of cars and trucks violating traffic rules on his Sina micro blog and called for residents to follow suit with their own snapshots.
The blogger wrote that he was prompted to act after witnessing vehicles frequently ignore traffic lights in his community, including at an intersection by a primary school. With micro blogs exerting an increasing influence on Chinese society, "Blue Sand" decided to help out the city's transport authorities by exposing violators with photos on the Internet.
