SAPS up again

mmm... ok the South Africa Police Service Site seems to be up again. Maybe they saw my post;)

Anyway, I was thinking about something else recently (CommandN talked about something very similar happening in London) which involves taking pictures of things and sending it to your police station to alert them. CommandN said you can now take pictures of Graffiti, rubbish and other stuff, email it (or send it with your phone) to the police service and they'll take care of it. AWESOME!!!

I was thinking the same thing while driving around town (Cape Town) and taking note of all the traffic violations that were happening. (about 1 a minute)

Imagine if you could send pictures of these violations to your traffic service and they follow it up with perhaps a warning or even a fine. And maybe, just maybe there could be some sort of incentive in it for YOU... like a share of the fine!

That would really get everyone behaving on the roads. Maybe you could even take videos of people speeding and they could figure out how fast the person was going from the markings on the road as the car travels over them.

I would definitely take this up as my second job. I would just drive around town the whole day taking pictures of taxis who make up traffic regulations as they go along.

THE ENDING
