Google Maps

Traffic police in Bengaluru thoughtfully go out every morning to apprehend and fine drivers who break the law. They tend to concentrate in places where there are more violations of traffic laws, as this is where they frequently witness drivers arguing when stopped. These hotspots have now been identified by anonymous users and tagged on Google Maps, warning potential violators ahead of time.

A user on X shared a screenshot of these Google location tags, stating “Police irthare, Nodkond hogi,” which translates to “Police will be there, watch and go.” The post quickly went viral, drawing varied reactions from netizens.

Guru Mandagadde, an X user, shared a screenshot with the caption, “Just type ‘Police irt’ on Google Maps and thank me later.” There are at least ten such location tags, providing a heads-up for anyone driving without a helmet or license. This allows them to alter their route and avoid the police. While the idea might seem amusing, it also raises concerns about encouraging traffic violations.
