Attention!
Gang graffiti
Graffiti Tracker, the brainchild of graduate student and crime analyst Timothy Kephart , uses global positioning systems (GPS), digital photography and computer databases to track and catch graffiti artists.The system - dubbed Graffiti Analysis/Intelligence Tracking System (GAITS) - takes pictures of graffiti, using GPS cameras that record the date, time and exact location.It then extracts information from the photographs and provides reports of each incident of graffiti which can be matched against other graffiti stored on a computer database in an effort to track down the perpetrator.Keeping a database of known graffiti means offenders can be charged with multiple counts of vandalism.
