Dubai police began using Google Glass to combat violators of traffic rules

Traffic rules are violated in any country, no matter how civilized / rich. And the fight against violators - an important element of police work. However, control methods are different. Someone who works on the old-fashioned way, checking documents "by hand" to identify the owner of the car. And somewhere already using the latest technology.

For example, recently began testing Google Glass in Dubai Police. The police got yourself "glasses", as well as two specially written for police applications. The first allows you to quickly create and upload photos scene. Second - scans the number of the car and identifies the owner.

All this is done in a quick and effective police work, which do not have to waste time looking for the owner of the car, querying the database. While it is unknown when the police in Dubai will begin to use Google Glass throughout the emirate. According to Colonel Khalid Nasser Al Razuki if the trial period goes well, then all members of the Traffic Police will use Google Glass. Of course, after this device will be widely available (though for Dubai's probably not a problem to negotiate with Google on the allocation of a special party ahead of Google Glass).

We'll see how it is useful for us the device, and how effective will be our job. And then we will make a decision on "arming" our police Google Glass.

By the way, the application for the "points" identifies the owner immediately, as mentioned above, the auto license plate. And if the car is wanted (or wanted is the owner of the car), the police will be immediately aware of, without any additional gestures.

By the way, not so long ago and the police of other countries began to use Google Glass and similar technologies, not only in the automotive sector, but also to identify criminals in a crowd, for example. Presumably these technologies become widespread among police officers in many countries in the near future.
