Traffic police plan to arm ... iPad'om

    True, not all traffic police, but only St. Petersburg. The head of the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, Sergey Umnov, instructed to develop, in the interests of road inspectors, a protocol compilation program that can be used on iPad tablets. The program will be developed at the Research Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the implementation of the project is scheduled for 2013.

    The idea itself is not bad: the program should have in its database all possible protocol samples, remote access to the traffic police information database, allow searching by various criteria and autofill those very protocols - entered the name of the owner or Vin of the car - received practically completed protocol. It is also planned to connect data banks of insurance companies to the system.

    As the gentlemen estimate the police, the use of such equipment will reduce the time of registration of an accident from two hours to 15 minutes.

    I, as a person interested in technology, are interested in several questions: why the iPad, and not the promised tablet, which is being done, including for government agencies? How much does the foreign iPad comply with Russian law (including Federal Law 152 on Personal Data, which is so heavily pushed to the masses), and is it certified by the FSTEC and the Federal Security Service, at least under the NDV? And also a question from a resident of the Russian hinterland - in our country the majority of gentlemen of the police writes with the mistakes of third-graders (maybe in St. Petersburg in another way, the cultural capital is all the same). And the last question - the traffic police works for us “not so shaky,” but if you give them a tablet with Angry Birds, then you won’t get any accidents.
