Delhi police using Facebook to track errant drivers
Posted on | August 2, 2010 | No Comments
Delhi police have started a facebook page to help ease traffic problems in the capital city of India.
From NYT
The traffic police department started a Facebook page two months ago, and almost immediately residents became digital informants, posting photos of their fellow drivers violating traffic laws. As of Sunday more than 17,000 people had become fans of the page and posted almost 3,000 photographs and dozens of videos.
It is a cool thing here in India where red tape and bureaucracy slows down everything. A government department using Internet, especially a social networking site like facebook is refreshing.

It will be interesting to see if the police allow the people to film cops breaking laws themselves.
