These vigilanties will be singing a different song after a couple of false arrest suits against them. Leave law enforcement to the cops. They screw it up bad enough without the help of nosy housewives.

Did you actually read the article? There are no vigilantes. There are observers. Only law enforcement officers have the authority to detain and arrest. The observers are no different than any member of the public calling the law enforcement dispatch office to make a report. If you read some of my prior posts, you'll note that sometimes the call gets dispatched, sometimes it doesn't. It depends on the resources available at the moment. All the law enforcement is being done by the cops.

Yes, I actually read the article, thank you for asking.
The article claims these women aren’t vigilantes, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t. I have nothing against citizens turning in obviously dangerous driving, but cruising around looking for people to call the cops on is vigilantism.
