This is what the police drones are known to hunt for offenders

A quiet buzzing peril, a tens of meters high -height of evil – all the notorian fouls are somehow experiencing that the police are now watching them from drones. And it is quite shocking what they can notice. The authority uses more than sixty drones at national level.

• Hungarian police use drones to detect traffic violations

• Peter received a thirty thousand forint penalty for the lack of a seat belt, noticed by a drone over a roundabout

• Drones are able to take motion pictures, and police can take action quick

Peter – he didn’t want to reveal his surname – is not the most regular driver, he knows about himself. Sometimes it really crosses the allowable speed limits and the seat belt is not a strong side. This was the case a few days ago when he reached the neighboring Pest County settlement, Pécel, from Budapest. There was no problem with the pace, as he drove into a roundabout and there is no speeding. However, this time he did not overcome the seat belt. He crossed the roundabout without any problems, leaning on with the other road users, but after a few hundred meters, a police officer stepped out in front of his car and waved it out.

– I thought it was just a regular, random routine control The driver said. Then it quickly turned out to be exactly waiting for him.

– After asking my documents, it turned out to be over the roundabout with a was watched from a police drone the motorists, stabbed that I didn’t attach the belt Peter admitted, who didn’t even argue.

The end of the story was a fine of thirty thousand forints, and the shock remained in his footsteps: How can a drone spot a driver breaking the rule?

Drones at the service of the police

The police use more than sixty drones at national level.

– In the field of transport police, we mainly document traffic infringements in places where other technical tools are not at all or only at the cost of difficulty The press department of the National Police Headquarters said earlier.

– Drones are most often recordedas well as irregular passage on a sign and railway crossing, but they are also often taken from vehicles whose drivers do not comply with priority or bending rules. The instrument remotely takes motion pictures, which allows patrols to take action almost immediately, near the scene of the offense.

Police drones are considered a so -called unmanned state aircraft, which are operated by different drones, among other things, they do not have to apply for an ad hoc airspace permit. One of the common types used by the police is DJI Matrice 210. The specification promises a huge 8 -kilometer range, and if you need unnoticed operation, all light can be turned off with the application. The data transmission is encrypted by special coding, sensors are constantly moniting their environment to avoid collisions, and even automatically informs your operator of nearby aircraft and helicopters. The price of such a drone is about 2 million forints.
