There's this email that's going around and the SMS feature it talks about actually has been implemented..
-------------------------------
You can now get any vehicle's details from RTO. Just SMS, RTO followed by registration no. (Example: RTO KA-05-MR-7678) to 56006. This will be very useful in hit & run cases. Pass it on. This works well for Karnataka (KA) registered vehicles. SMS charge will be Rs.3
-------------------------------
WTF?! Indian Govt Agencies seem to react to the Information Age like a little boy in a toy store. There's absolutely no thought given to whether something is actually good or useful. It's there, it's bright and shiny, and so I want it!
I tried it out and I got the owner name, engine number and chassis number back in response. How is this helpful for anything? The engine number and chassis number would just be faked by people who're up to some mischief, how in the world does this help?
And no, I don't mean more information should be sent. I'm totally against this, it will be a sad day if this ends up sending addresses and phone numbers out. Imagine the glee of those agents selling credit cards and car loans! One round of the Forum Mall parking lot and they have all the details they need. Hey, there's an Alto, ok, let's give try and sell this guy a Gold Card.. oh, a Honda Civic, a Platinum Card for him!
Any person who wants access to my details either should be authorized to do so by a legal order or should have my permission. Any government agency that requires I store my information with them should be duty bound to provide me that layer of security. This sms crap is a horrible invasion of privacy!!
If you have the registration number for a 'hit & run', you should be heading to a police station and they know how to get the name/address details. The last thing you'd want is for the guy being hit to gather his friends and go to the driver's place to beat him up! Watching auto drivers abuse each other on the street is bad enough!
Using IT in places is cool, but it should be used for the right things. We should be spending money in automating the registration process, payment of vehicle taxes, hypothecation cancellation etc.. not this shit!!
I've thought for a while and I just don't get why such a feature would be built. Either RTO thinks those 3 rupees per SMS charged would end up being a revenue source (what a dumb assumption!) or someone received kickbacks for approving this. It's such a wastage of resources where there's so much to be done :(
