Police Testing New Scanning Software/hardware

[inark]

Disclaimer:: the information given is now 3rd hand and given from a women and we all know how good they are at retaining information in an accurate manor... yes you heard me womens! So obviously it is not going to be 100% accurate but you should get the idea.

Well i just got off the phone with my sister who informed me that this morning she went to leave the house to find a bunch of coppers parked on a section of her drive way (the house/building has multiple driveways so it was blocking them all)... when asked what they were doing the policemen showed her and explained to her they were testing a new "car scanner" which basically scans the cars rego/plates and what not and brings up a window with information on the owner, the car and anything against either of them. ie. if they have outstanding traffic infringements, canaries, disqualified licences, non paid rego, warrants etc etc.

Sounded interesting and from looking on the all knowing bible google i believe they have a similar system in the UK.

So i spose for people who might have decided to drive around without a licence or have a canary but took it off and continue to drive then its an issue... otherwise its not really an issue. Unless they keep information on there about cars mods and stuff then half of you are screwed lol

you sure they werent testing out ROBOCOP?

[inark]

that would explain the bad acting and bad special effects... wonder how long before the remake that movie... been over 20 years now and we all know how badly they seem to be running out of ideas in Hollywood

cool.... the thread titly worried me but now i is all good

Its true. My mate was pulled over 3-4 weeks ago driving his uncomplied aristo with plates off another car with expired rego. The cop showed him the scanner and said a few cop cars with a yellow line have them and are doing a trial. The cop was driving in the oppesite direction and did a u turn to pull him over. $1000 in fines

He use to drive the aristo with plates from his celsior that was the same color and was still registered and Im sure that would have been fine even if it was scanned but he had just sold the celsior 2 days eariler so he chucked some other plates he had on. I think he learnt his lesson.... (This was Brisbane Qld)

I remember hearing about this being trial years ago over here, called ARGUS or something, mainly used in booze bus lineups to try and catch out stolen cars,drivers that are wanted for other matters etc

Shit thing about it for me is i have 2 out standing tickets from like 2002 from when my aunty borrowed my car for a week... i sent back the stat dec to them 4 times to say it wasnt me and everytime they rejected it saying "there wasnt enough evidence". What f*kin evidence does one need other then supplying them with the licence number, address and name of the person driving ffs. So i didnt pay the fines... they can get f**ked and havent heard from it since.

So cant wait til some bored cop pulls me over for that.

1. scmods

"state county municipal offender data system", the on-board system used by the rollers (AKA: cops) in the original Blue Brothers. this utility told the cops to "arrest driver, impound vehicle" and thus initiated the multi-state car chase that wrecked the most cars in movie history.

"shit, i hope they (the cops) don't have scmods."

i have heard about this system they are trying out. I dont think it will be long till its in place, as its a big success in the UK

can anyone CONFIRM what details are shown by software?

[Ronin 09]

well we've got nothing to worry about as we all have rego and no outstanding fines.

what's the big deal?

I am looking forward to it getting up so it gets all the dodgy farker 25y/o shitboxes with no rego spewing shit out off the road.

[inark]

Think you need to get your aunty to send a letter with yours admitting guilt..

I'd say that's the evidence they need.

[inark]

on the back of the fines they all say you simply need to fill out the information fields they provided and have it signed at the local... which i did... im not going out of my way a 5th time to do something they havent asked of me... the dumbest thing is that she also got a parking fine on the same day (different thing all together i know... but still) and they said it wasnt a problem and signed it over to her.

I can confirm that this system is being used in VIC. A guy I know had just lost his licence and drove down to the shops. Cop car was travelling in the opposite direction and the system alerted the driver that the car was regeistered to an unlicenced driver so they did a u-turn and pulled him over. Good system as far as I can tell as it will hopefully keep a lot of people off the road who don't deserve to be there.. huddles in corner and waits to be flamed.. If it keeps drunken, unlicenced and repeat offender drivers off the roads then it has to be a good thing.

[inark]

i dont think you will find many people flamming you for stating the honest truth, it is a good thing to keep tards off the roads.
