There are scooters in my town and I’ve used them a few times. When you park the scooter the app makes you take a picture of your parking job. I don’t know how good the enforcement is, but this is a plausible way of solving the problem of inconsiderate users.

I think this should be combined with:

1) QR code on every scooter so improperly placed scooters can be reported to the owning company with images

2) The use of accelerometer data to verify when a scooter was moved (to ensure things like renters not being unfairly penalized if a scooter is moved by somebody else afterwards)
