In the first such case here, the police tapped into the infotainment system of a woman's car to extract data, which they then used to nab her for speeding. She was jailed for five days, and disqualified from driving for two years. The police's new vehicle forensics capability was revealed at the Police Workplan Seminar 2024 on May 24 at the Singapore University of Technology and Design in Upper Changi Road. The police said they are preparing to roll it out fully in 2024. The incident involving the speedster happened in 2022. The police's Cybercrime Command received a request from the Traffic Police in late 2022 to extract data from her vehicle's infotainment system, to investigate a possible speeding offence. Officers used the tool to extract datasets including call logs, messages and other data.

They declined to reveal further details, including the car's make and model. Read more
