Police tests out "star weapon"

The newspaper Agderposten (23.03.2007) reports from the Police testing of a new telescope to find out what the driver is doing.

The Police is looking for the use of safety belts and not using handheld mobile telephones. The safety belt is required to be used and the last is prohibited during driving in Norway. The telescope is so good that the Police can read the mobile phone mark on long distance.

They can further se drivers reading papers held in front of them. The drivers braking the roles are fined.

The aim is to reduce the number of drivers not concentrating in the driving.

It is left to be seen how the Police treat those operating their Office on the Road.
