Zack said:Because the MDT is actually an iPad *functioning* as the MDT. There is a wireless hotspot in the cruiser, so any device (in this case an iPad) with Wifi and a browser can access the web-based cjis system.
(Also, you can pull the iPad out, and as long as you are still in wifi range you can run plates, warrants, surf the web for information, etc. You can even take pictures with it.
Awesome if you have a group of people, say at a party or outside a bar, and you want to quickly run them all for warrants while you have them lined up against the wall. Take the iPad over with you, run them and confirm their identity with the RMV photos... take their picture to attach to a report... etc. Don't have to gather their info then walk it back over to the cruiser to run it.)
Oh ok, I thought it was a real MDT, lol.
