R. C. Gaitlan, 21, walked up to two patrol officers who were showing their squad car computer equipment to children in a Detroit neighborhood. When he asked how the system worked, the officer asked him for identification. Gaitlan gave them his driver's license, they entered it into the computer, and moments later they arrested Gaitlan because information on the screen showed Gaitlan was wanted for a two-year-old armed robbery in St. Louis, Missouri.
两位巡警正在向底特律附近的孩子们展示警察巡逻车上的电脑设备。21岁的Gaitlan向他们走去,并问这系统是怎么工作的。警察要看他的身份证。他拿出驾驶执照给他们。警察往电脑里输入他的信息。过了一会儿,警察逮捕了他,因为屏幕上信息显示Gaitlan是两年前密苏里州圣路易斯持枪抢劫的通缉犯。
