The AI Technology Helping Police Catch Drink & Drug Drivers 🚨

[@JBinthesticks]

Those driving in a straight line are the drunk drivers. The sober drivers will be weaving around to avoid the potholes.

With the amount of time,effort and money spent on driving offences it’s not a surprise the real criminals are having a field day.

I was disqualified 37 years ago for failing a random breath test by being 20% over the limit. Therefore I became registered as a criminal. Interestingly I haven't had an accident in 50 years since I passed my driving test in 1974. I recently discovered that my criminal record will continue until my 100th birthday. In a recent episode of Police Interceptors the officers said that any person banned from driving is considered dishonest and untrustworthy. I don't break into houses, rob banks or attack people. However, despite that I am considered to be a criminal and a danger to others until I am 100 years old. Something wrong here with the law. I am a soft hearted gentle man who cares for others but somehow the law thinks I am a dangerous nasty man who hurts people. I therefore conclude that the law is complete madness.

I got my license taken from me this September. I smoked weed the night before and got pulled 16:30 the next day. No dangerous driving, no defaults with the van, mot and taxed yet the police followed me for 15 minutes and found no reason to pull me other than a random pull "because they can now". Failed the test and now have no license. I'm a self employed carpenter with 2 kids and am now a criminal aswell 👍 at the station 2 police officers agreed with me in saying "if your allowed a pint on a Friday night who are the government to say you can't have a joint instead". Absolute joke of a system.

[@jimdavis5230]

[@gimmegaming5345]

I wonder how much it would improve the safety of drivers in the UK if they actually fixed the roads. I just drove from Dublin to Hamburg this week and do it a few times a year. One theme I notice is the south of the UK is the only place with truly awful roads including motorways. You can see the direct affect of this as its guaranteed that you will see breakdowns and crashes in the UK but it is highly unlikely to see anywhere else on the route. During the summer when I did the drive I seen someone in a Porsche SUV driving on the rim after a puncture because their was no hard shoulder because of a smart (dumb) motorway which made them most likely afraid to stop. Until this tech can be 100% effective in who it selects I don't think it should be used as some drivers could be constantly targeted by these systems because of an unusual driving style. This is not AI but a simple algorithm to detect specific patterns, companies like this are 20-50 years off true AI, they just use the term as a marketing gimmick that seems to have worked here. Saying that people who drink/drug drive are disgusting people.

I love that no one can commit to telling us what these cameras actually look at. What a lot of nonsense this is. How can they possibly 'detect' people on drugs. It makes zero sense.

[@baron5747]

It doesn't detect people on 'drugs'. It detects driving behaviour conducive to the possibility of being intoxicated, or under the influence of drugs. A roadside drug wipe, or breathalyser is what detects people on drugs, or alcohol.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work that out lol it will be looking for drifting, swerving, random speed changing etc. Anything that suggests you’re not sober. As they said the cameras can’t actually detect you’re on drugs, but they give a good indicator if police need to stop you further down the road. Got nothing to hide? Got nothing to worry about.

[@peckelhaze6934]

Anything that gets drink drivers, drug drivers, phone users, etc., off the road is an excellent thing. I am now 74 and have driven for over 50+ years, various vehicles.

At least when it comes to phone usage or even something like tailgating, the images could be admissible in court as evidence

PMSL you will be driving outside of the normal parameters as a traffic officer even when off duty. You will also find that people insured with certain insurers are more likely to be impaired along with driving certain models of car. UNLESS the full model (training data) they are using is disclosed then this could be what they are doing and nothing more (with reference to impairment). The important question is do they have or had access to the MIB and DVLA databases?

[@Professor-Scientist]

Does it detect cars that are not MOT worthy eg lights not working ? Seems to be an increase in questionable cars on the road these days.

[@baron5747]

That will be the next step for this technology, but as it's in the infancy of usage, these trials are there so that the developers can iron out any faults. Like alluded to in the video, the cameras themselves aren't evidential, or use to prosecute. But merely a tool to detect offending drivers, so that a Constable can use their powers to stop and investigate.

[@matthewbowman800]

It is dangerous having friends sometimes, come on have 1 cigarette or come out & have one drink of alcohol. Next thing your drinking & smoking till your dead or perhaps you stop drinking after you have crashed into someone on the public highway but I think some drivers who have crashed into someone will just be like I need my alcohol & get into a vehicle & start driving whilst over the drink drive limit. When you signed on that dotted line to get your provisional driving licence that ment you will always follow The Highway Code & don't drink alcohol & get in a vehicle & drive. DRIVING IS A PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT

[@michaeloconnell7132]

I like the comment about being responsible for other road users. Even though it doesn't detect alcohol, it should now make it easier to catch drunk drivers. At the moment, I believe that the majority of the people that do drink and drive do it because there is little chance of being caught. I've known people do it for years before they get caught. It sounds like a brilliant piece of kit.

[@DmaVR]

So if the driver is wearing a seat belt and not using a phone etc will it just profile the car make and model? Like the most people that get caught drink/drug driving in a certain model of car ? Then assume that person will be intoxicated because of what car they drive ?

I’m 100% behind catching drink drivers, and as someone who drives HGV, I’ve noticed the massive increase in people using their mobile phones on their laps, increase the penalty for mobile phone usage, the huge problem I have with this technology is, what data is retained from the cameras, is the data collected stored on a database somewhere and for how long, what is preventing the data from being shared and abused by insurance companies who already share black box data to stealthily increase premiums. How long is it going to be before this technology is abused, are they governed by the data protection laws? Put more real police officers on the roads and stop wasting money on technology that will never match a traffic officer’s instincts.

Define wrong. Now define illegal. Now define the injured party of these crimes and who someone should pay to remedy those damages, then tell us how any cameras actually help society learn basic respect and consideration for other road users. Taking someone's license or issuing points or fines does not improve society. It makes every citizen a suspect. I don't know about you, but I prefer to be considered innocent until proven guilty rather than Spain's/Italy's/France's way of considering anyone guilty until proven innocent - bare in mind that there are more non-convicted drugs smugglers and corrupt police (paid for by those smugglers to turn a blind eye) in those countries than in the UK - so why do the authorities want the copy the method?

I think taking drink / drug drivers off the road is a good thing. The problem is that the focus on speeding and drink driving means that nothing else is actioned. I drove the length of the M6 last week and the poor and dangerous driving i saw was breath-taking; poor lane discipline, lack of observation, people being mobile chicanes in lanes 2 and 3 doing 50mph, tailgating, overloaded trailers, unsecured loads. Where is the enforcement of these offences? The moment any of us touch 80mph on the motorway, we are getting a ticket and 3 points. The narrow focus of road policing down to speed and drinking driving is a real problem. A genuine question for the Officers; how many accidents are caused by speeding /drinking Vs the number that are caused by poor driving skill? (when i watch any dashcam videos it certainly seems to be the latter )

This isn't there to prosecute you, it is there to triage. A driver that doesn't meet the expected parameters gets pulled over for a quick chat, if the officers note something more amiss they will drug or breath test and let this do the talking.
