Those cameras are designed to capture video when a driver is parked in a bus or bike lane.

The Chicago Department of Transportation then reviews the video to issue warnings or fines.

The city says drivers parking in bus lanes can cause traffic backups and impact people trying to board the bus.

The cameras have previously been used on other city vehicles.
