According to Gulf News, Dubai Police will soon use Google Glass to issue fines to errant motorists as well as identify wanted cars, said a senior police official.
Google glass is currently being tested by Dubai police for us by the traffic department and two applications are being developed in-house to use with Glass
“One will allow them to take photos of traffic violations from the Glass, which will go instantly into our system, and the other application helps identify wanted cars. Said Colonel Khalid Nasser Al Razooqi, General Director of Smart Services at Dubai Police.
“Taking photos using Dubai Police’s Google Glass’ program is simple. The officer just needs to tap the side of the glass and the photo, in addition to the exact location, time and date is automatically sent to the system.”
As for checking for want cars, Col Al Razooqi said that all the officer needs to do is look at number plates and the Glass will cross-reference the plates with the traffic department’s wanted vehicles database and alert him if any vehicle is wanted.
