I had this thought a while ago while on my long drive to office. At many occasions, I have encountered people misbehaving on roads and I wished I could do something to fix their heads. Primarily, I was looking for something that could be a real time reporting mechanism for Traffic police but unfortunately there was nothing except calling them. I wished that I could somehow capture the snaps of such vehicles and send them to people who are hunting for them.
Recent news about “Traffic stings by public using Facebook” on Tuesdays’ NBT is like this thought coming true. People actually took pictures and reported to Police using Facebook. And police actually sent out challans to a good number out of those reports. This is nice.
For those who are reading this and not aware(like me), Delhi Traffic Police is now on both Twitter and Facebook. You can use these channels to connect to them by simply following them and messaging them. And it must be pretty easy now since almost every handset is shipping with Facebook and Twitter client these days.
You will in addition get useful updates about traffic situations for free(I know how badly i usually need this information).
