Customs, Justice and home affairs
In the field of justice, customs, police, etc.
various applications are already being
implemented.Vehicle theft represents an
annual cost of some $8 billion in the U.S.
Specific policies to combat vehicle crime are
being proposed in the EU, in terms of tracking
and tracing systems for vehicles and the
development of after-alarm procedures for
private security branches and the police.
Satellite navigation tagging gives governments
cheap alternatives to incarceration and allows
offenders an opportunity to continue working
and living at home.
Coastguards also make use of satellite
navigation to help maritime border control
activities, whether for surveillance of
smugglers or other illegal activities.
Customs administrations are investigating the
possibility of deploying systems that allow the
interrogation of trucks transporting various
goods to check whether they are still on the
most direct route to their final destination.
When unexpected movements or operations
occur (e.g. the backdoor of a truck is opened
before it has reached its final destination)
alarms are sent to the closest customs office
with the position and identification of the truck. [1]
