POSITIVE EVIDENCE ON THE NEGATIVE.—Tokyo traffic policemen now use cameras to obtain evidence of motoring offences. The camera is fitted to the policeman’s belt, and with an extra wide-angle lens covers a wide field. The policeman has only to point the camera in the general direction when he wants to take a picture and press the cable release. No focusing is necessary. From the negative, the serial number is enlarged. The driver is told to report to the traffic department, and is shown positive evidence of his traffic offence.
