Information Madness

Next time when Mumbai Police catch you for traffic violation, be careful. Don't under estimate Mumbai Police. They are getting hi-tech now a days. In an attempt to take up their share of social responsibility for a safer Mumbai, BPL Mobile has teamed up with Hyderabad based IMImobile to help Mumbai Police track drunk drivers.

The new service helps Mumbai Police to keep track of drunk drivers, by allowing instant access to their previous records, ensuring repeat offenders do not slip through the net and new offenders are logged on the system from the outset. When the Traffic Policeman stops a vehicle-driver, all he needs to do is SMS the driver’s license number to a confidential shortcode, to which the cop receives a prompt SMS in return.

In a Scenario where the driver is a repeat offender, the SMS reflects details such as an account of the earlier offences while driving, license and vehicle number, the date & location of the offence/ s, and the type of offence he/she was booked for. The police can then instantly update his record and also slap a suitable fine or file a case on him.

If the database reflects no previous details the Police would book him fresh, add a fresh record with this current information which will get reflected next time the offender is caught. The service employs an easily accessible mobile database (record) and an interface with add record and update record functions.

So better be careful next time when you make any offense!!
