Spot - fix traffic violations facts with your iPhone

Residents of big cities are faced with transport problems on a daily basis. Who commute to work by public transport, who are on the machine, and someone on a bicycle. But unites them all one thing: each of the three types of people does not like the other two. The reasons are also similar: too dense road traffic, careless driving, and of course a wrong parking. If the first paragraph should deal road services, and the second - the inspector DPS, then the last application developers Spot offer to fight together.

Here we will not discuss the drivers who violate traffic rules when parking in the wrong places. We will not discuss the cyclists, who sin in the same. And, of course, pedestrians often do not comply with the rules. Not a word about the "activists'" StopHam "and other movements and currents - all of this was discussed many times on many sites. This article focuses exclusively on the application. How to use it (and whether to use) - it's up to you.

So, Spot - is an application that automates the treatment of citizens in the traffic police. For example, you go out of the house to the store on his usual route and notice that at a crosswalk parked car. This is a violation of traffic rules, and most importantly - a threat to pedestrian life, because due to improperly parked car, the driver can simply not notice the rolling road man. This is especially true of areas where there are children's institutions, such as schools, kindergartens and playgrounds.

Perhaps you can notice that the driver left his vehicle and went off somewhere on business. And, most likely, contact information about yourself, he also did not leave. In this case, you remove your smartphone, launch the app and the camera commit a violation. Next you will need to indicate your real (!) Name with an email address (supported authentication via Facebook and VKontakte), specify the location of the offense on the map, enter the license plate number and a description of violations. After this simple procedure, your application will go to the moderation and if successful it passes - in the traffic police. In the end, if the law enforcement agencies will consider a violation of the legitimate, the vehicle owner will be fined.

The service itself is working in all regions of Russia, but the developers warn that "the traffic police authorities the reaction can vary from region to region."

At the moment, fixing violations can only be processed on several counts:
- parking place in the second row,
- On-site parking for the disabled,
- parking on the sidewalk,
- parking under the sign "No Stopping"
- parking on a pedestrian crossing,
- parking on the lawn (in this case operates only in St. Petersburg, and the violation is fixed by the city administration, not the traffic police)

To your appeal passed moderation, and was made the traffic authorities have to comply with certain conditions when the vehicle photographing:
1. You should see the number of car;
2. In the picture should be visible disorder (for example, prohibiting the stop sign next to the machine);
3. Any immovable objects, which can determine a violation (for example, a monument, or best of all - a sign with the street name and house number);
4. In the picture should not be the driver behind the wheel of the vehicle, so that the situation in the picture could not be interpreted in two ways.

For everything you are given to fix to make five photographs, which is enough. An important point: the application accesses with access to your smartphone camera, but download a picture from the gallery you will not. This is done in order to prevent photo-editing, as well as the addition of old.

And remember that the statement sent by your real name. In the case of application under the fictitious name, you can be prosecuted Article 17.9 of the Administrative Code.
