Dubai traffic police to use Google Glass - Polidicks

The smart eyewear is currently under trial by Dubai Police Smart Services Department, for use by traffic police.[/quote] [quote]Colonel Khalid Nasser Al Razooqi, General Director of Smart Services at Dubai Police, gave Gulf News a demonstration of how Google Glass would be used by the force. Dubai Police’s Smart Services teams have created two applications to be used by their officers. “One will allow them to take photos of traffic violations from the Glass, which will go instantly into our system, and the other application helps identify wanted cars.” Taking photos using Dubai Police’s Google Glass’ program is simple. The officer just needs to tap the side of the glass and the photo, in addition to the exact location, time and date is automatically sent to the system. As for determining whether a car is wanted or not, Col Al Razooqi said that all the officer needs to do is look at number plates and the Glass will cross-reference the plates with the traffic department’s wanted vehicles database and alert him if any vehicle is wanted. Both programs were developed by an in-house team from the Dubai Police smart services. “We at Dubai Police always try to adopt what is new in the market and we like to stay up-to-date,” Col Al Razooqi said.[/quote]

the battery life of these is terrible though i've had mine die on me in about 35 minutes before

Will it have a crowd scanner for those filthy hand holding criminals?

But they haven't even finished development, right?

i dont want to imagine what dubai will look like after the money runs out.

Dubai gets all the cool shit... Meanwhile, our cops here drive Skodas, if not something older, don't even have PCs in their cars (I think) and flip you off when you tell them someone stole something from you. BUT GOD FORBID IF THEY CATCH YOU WITH WEED! Into jail you go, waiting for your parents!...

You're also missing the fact that "2%" of [B]Dubai's[/B] GDP is from oil, however 1/3 of the GDP of the country that Dubai is located in is from oil ([URL]http://www.opec.org/opec_web/static_files_project/media/downloads/publications/ASB2013.pdf[/URL]) If oil takes a hit, UAE takes a hit, which means Dubai takes a hit. Dubai can't sustain this growth without oil, even if a small percentage of the GDP of the city itself isn't stated as coming directly from oil.

[QUOTE=Rapist;44869812]But they haven't even finished development, right?[/QUOTE] I think the hardware is finalized, the rest of it can just be patched and updated as need be.

I feel like the general mindset behind Dubai is "Coruscant is fucking awesome and needs to happen as soon as humanly possible"

Its pretty sad they hand the most ridiculously expensive things out to their police force but a lot of the city is built on labor that's just a little above slavery conditions. The police force is vannity thing then anything over there

What a waste of money, they should just hide police near the bridge connecting Sharjah and Dubai so they can fine everyone who goes into the hard shoulder when there is traffic (and I literally mean everyone)

Builders are not allowed to work during midday in summer, as it's just too fucking hot. Furthermore, wages aren't that bad as the minimum is still extremely high compared to the countries a lot of the workers come from. Dubai's the shit. I mean their shopping mall has a fucking 3 story aquarium in it.

My brother lives in Dubai, the police recently took order of a Veyron police car. It actually gets driven too

That and most of the works have to live in labour camps which are small, filthy pieces of brick slabbed together with no air conditioning. I feel really bad for the labourers in Dubai, they are mostly Indians who are lied to in their country, shipped over, have their passports taken then they fulfil their contract. It's better than they get at home but they are treated like animals in dubai and as third class citizens by everyone else.

I always find it interetsing how Dubai police often are first when it comes to certain gadgets and vehicles. In fact, i actually wrote a made-up story once that took place in a dystopic Dubai (mainly because i can see it growing even larger and taller in the future) that included tns of futuristic stuff like Deus-Ex-esque armors and guns, VTOL's etc.
