I have also had this thought - and there is a crowd app (ParkingPatrol) that does a reasonable job, but due to the limitation of it only working for their user base, it has a limited success.
By adding similar functionality in Waze, it would be an additional Waze Report - "Parking Inspector"
Then when you currently park your car - Waze could extend the existing functionality to indicate an alarm (eg for a 2 hour parking spot). - this would be good by itself - and a "alert me if Parking Inspector is nearby"
Then combine the two - so if a Parking inspector is within (config 500 metres) of anyone with a parking alarm/alert me flag, they get a notification.
So if I was driving around and saw a Parking inspector (reported) - I get points for helping people parked nearby.
