M-police System Aids Kaohsiung Police in Nabbing Drunk Driving Fugitive

Kaohsiung police have successfully apprehended a fugitive wanted for drunk driving, utilizing a newly implemented "M-police" real-time license plate recognition system. During a routine patrol on July 17th, officers in the Cianjhen District were alerted by the system to a motorcycle with a canceled license plate. Upon stopping the vehicle, they discovered the passenger, a 35-year-old man identified only as Li, was a wanted fugitive for driving under the influence, as issued by the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors Office. Li, who had been a fugitive since June 30th, claimed he was unaware of the warrant as he was not residing at his registered address. The "M-police" system, developed by the National Police Agency, uses image recognition and real-time data comparison to identify various types of vehicles, including those with stolen, counterfeit, or canceled plates. Cianjhen Precinct Chief Huang Yuan-min praised the system as a "smart eye on police cars," transforming patrols from passive stops to proactive investigations and significantly boosting public safety capabilities. The technology allows officers to scan surrounding license plates and cross-reference data instantly, making it harder for offenders to evade detection.
