A lot of businesses don't succeed here because Capetonians are a hard sell. The monthly subscription of R50 will probably put a lot of people off. @Sybergypsy: It will be interesting to see if this service is a hit in Cape Town.

Then again, who asked me....?

Roadblocks are equipped with a handheld machine (Morpho Touch) used to scan finger prints. If an outstanding warrant exists for the person, they are arrested on the spot. @Eric: One of the concerns raised by the authorities is that this service will allow wanted criminals to evade roadblocks and thus escape arrest.
