Traffic cops receive electronic ticketing devices

In a pilot program, electronic ticketing machines have been distributed to Jalisco traffic cops to test out ways of streamlining the process of issuing infractions. The devices allow officers to enter details of the infraction, including photographs, and print out folios (tickets) that can be paid at a convenience store or bank of one’s choice. (As with the hand-written tickets, 50-percent discounts are available for swift payment.) The electronic tickets also have a QR code, permitting online access to details of the infraction, in addition to payment of the fine via a smartphone or other device.  The first stage of the project will be limited to the Guadalajara city center.
