Finnish Police may reprimand citizens via SMS

Finnish police may approach unruly citizens via text message, according to Newsroom Finland.

"For example in Salo, the cradle of the Finnish mobile phone industry, police have adopted the practise of sending motorists text messages into their mobile phones about for example faulty lights. Also the highest echelons of the Finnish police administration try to think of ways in which the technology could be utilised to a greater extent than now.

Police administration wants to make absolutely sure that the right person gets the text message. Also the person receiving the message must be sure it really was sent by the police."
