This would result in a rather significant allocation of police resources to a relatively useless and meaningless endeavor

Maybe, probably, but...

A lot of cities this size have a separate traffic enforcement section apart from regular police (the old "meter maid" force). My own, which is about half the size of Minneapolis, has one. This would not be an especially onerous task on them since they are doing it anyway. It may end up being "useless" in the end as far as fines go, but it might have a little sting here or there.
