This Texas Police Department Can Send You a Ticket via Text

Imagine getting a text that has a speeding ticket attached. This is something that has been happening for almost two years. A police department in the San Antonio area was one of the first areas in the nation to try out this new program. Trusted Driver is a web-based program where drivers can avoid seeing a police officer face-to-face, and instead get a ticket via text message. The reason the program is being rolled out is brilliant.

THEY CAN ALSO SEND YOU POSITIVE MESSAGES:

Through Trusted Driver, police are also able to send positive messages to drivers who are doing a stellar job obeying traffic laws. The program launchedlast year  in Windcrest. If this launch is successful, the hope is to roll this out nationwide.  For now, this is only available to drivers who live in Windcrest
