Police Video Identification Parade System Shut Down
Citing legal implications, Government lawyers have reportedly instructed the police to shut down its state-of-the-art video identification parade system which was launched in January of this year. It was not immediately clear what the legal concerns were with regard to the system, but naturally, members of the police high command are said to be unhappy with the decision, especially since it comes almost nine months after it was given the blessing of senior government lawyers, and launched with much fanfare.
The police will now revert to the old (slow) system of compiling a line-up of individuals with similar features, a far cry from the computerized version which stored more than 20,000 images on a database and was easily accessible with just a mouse click.
