A recent situation has brought to light the challenges faced by Slovak police in utilizing important evidence for crime investigations, as they found themselves unable to play back video footage of a bicycle theft due to outdated computer systems. The issue was highlighted after the satirical website Zomri posted about an incident where police admitted that their technology was too outdated to handle certain types of recordings necessary for solving crimes.

In an official statement, police noted that the recorded evidence was indeed available, but their equipment's inability to play it back raises significant concerns about the adequacy of their technological resources. The situation has sparked discussions about the state of law enforcement's information technology capabilities, particularly when it comes to essential tools like video evidence, which are critical for identifying and apprehending suspects.

While specific details such as the location of this incident and the type of footage remain undisclosed, the attention drawn to this issue has prompted reactions from various political figures, including former Defense Minister Jaroslav Naď. He emphasized the need for modernization in police technology to ensure that law enforcement can effectively perform their investigative duties without being hindered by inadequate resources.
