TN police launches mobile app to alert police on traffic violators

The city police Monday launched a mobile application which will enable the public to take photographs of traffic rule violators and upload them to the police. The 'Police-E-Eye' is available on Google Play store and the public can take pictures which, with time and location, would reach the senior police officials.

Based on this, the traffic department would issue photo challans to the violators' place to collect the fine amount. Launching the app, city Police Commissioner Sumit Sharan said the public can alert the police on violations, including riders without helmets, triples-riding, buses plying with passengers on footboards and obstructing the free flow of traffic.

After downloading the app from the Play Store, people should register their first name, last name, enter their mobile number and create a password. When they try to click a photograph, the app would detect the location, time and date with the help of GPS.
