NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The next time you get pulled over for a speeding ticket in New Orleans, you may not see the officer reach for his ticket book. But don't get too excited. The NOPD is preparing to ditch the old ticket books for a hand-held scanner that will electronically issue tickets in seconds. Police say the new technology is now in the pipeline for use by NOPD officers. The department is preparing to launch this electronic citation pilot program that they say will help reduce time spent writing tickets, processing paperwork and delivering summons and traffic tickets to court each day.
