Cork: Gardai can now check the status of a car within 1km of the checkpoint. Tim Willoughby, Garda's Head of Innovation and Digital Services, displayed the range of devices as part of a presentation to the JPC highlighting the latest technological advances in road policing.
"So you'll be glad we were found before we were found," said the Garda's top technical adviser with a laugh as he demonstrated the new speed guns' range of more than 1km. 'We can find detection before you find us': Gardai can now check car status 1km from checkpoint.
Assistant Commissioner Dave Sheehan and Chief.Supt.Con Cadogan unveiled the new technology, which was recently installed at a checkpoint near the N25 near Carrigtwohill. This will enable gardaí to instantly see if vehicles are taxed and insured.
The latest technology available to members of the Gardai means they can detect speeding vehicles from more than a kilometer away, it said. Tim Willoughby, the Garda's head of innovation and digital services, was displaying the range of devices as part of a JPC presentation highlighting the latest technological advances in road policing.
Willoughby said it was part of new integrated technology tools that would make gardaí more efficient, eliminate paperwork and help make people's lives safer.
"When you see a garda holding up a phone at a checkpoint, they're not photographing or filming you, they're scanning, they're reading the number plate and that automatically tells them which cars to stop," he said.
Gardai's new Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology allows gardaí to access the PULSE system and a range of other databases to instantly identify whether a vehicle is taxed, insured, or has an NCT, or any related issues. Vehicle or its driver details..
Some TDs have welcomed new technological advances in policing but have warned that the public will turn against them as they make it harder for motorists. Chief Superintendent Con Cadogan responded that the increased efficiency in policing would affect criminals the most, and since 2020 more than 4,000 vehicles had been seized for not having insurance, which he said was a direct result of technological advances.
