From Itaquera to Lisbon: Brazilian wants to find fugitives from Justice through bus Wi-Fi

Público13 September 2026 at 19:59

Alexandre Galdyno is a newly graduated Brazilian lawyer who earned a master's position in Lisbon, Portugal. He developed an innovative proposal to use the Wi-Fi technology available on buses to assist in criminal investigations.

The main idea of Galdyno is to use the internet connection on buses to locate fugitives from Justice. The system would allow identifying when a fugitive connects to the vehicle's Wi-Fi network, enabling their capture by authorities.

Additionally, the Brazilian proposes that the same technology be used to track stolen cell phones. When the stolen device connects to the bus Wi-Fi, it would be possible to identify its location.

The proposal connects public transportation technology with public security tools, showing how simple solutions can be applied in combating crime.

Why this matters

This proposal is relevant because it offers an accessible technological solution to recurring public security problems in Brazilian public transportation. Passengers who use buses could benefit indirectly if the system were implemented, as it could help recover stolen devices and locate fugitive criminals. The project reflects the growing search for technological innovations applied to combating urban crime.
