TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Dubai Police has begun using Google Glass to help in issuing fines and recording traffic violations as part of Dubai Traffic Police’s “continuous effort to adopt the latest technology”.
“The smart glasses are equipped with a camera and directly linked to our operations room,” said Col Saif Muhair Al Mazroui, director of Dubai Traffic Police, as reported by Arabian Supply Chain on Monday.
“Officers who are at the scene of an accident can send live feed and record both major and minor violations.”
Muhari added that Google Glass can also identify vehicles wanted by the police.
“An officer can simply scan the number plate of a car and access all of its police records,” he said. “Since the glasses are connected to our operations room and databases, wanted cars can be instantly identified.”
Dubai Police is the first government entity in the United Arab Emirates to use Google Glass, which also enables people to report traffic violations through the We are all Police app.
