WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.010 --> 00:00:04.030 [Music] [Vince Porter] ERAD allows us to 2 00:00:04.030 --> 00:00:08.340 read card information on mag stripes and also tell us the value of 3 00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:12.510 what might be on a payment card. [William Pixler] ERAD is a system that was designed 4 00:00:12.510 --> 00:00:16.530 to allow law enforcement personnel to swipe prepaid 5 00:00:16.530 --> 00:00:20.760 cards to see if they were associated with criminal activities. 6 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:25.120 [Vince] A lot of time a patrol officer making a stop, they'll wind up finding in their possession multiple cards and 7 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.150 in these cards they will find them with different names 8 00:00:29.150 --> 00:00:34.010 embossed on the front of them or either have no names 9 00:00:34.010 --> 00:00:38.380 at all. [Alan Walker] Using the portable device from ERAD smart phone. You run the card through the device. 10 00:00:38.380 --> 00:00:42.800 The device sends a signal to ERAD. ERAD will identify the card the information and so forth 11 00:00:42.800 --> 00:00:46.930 and email it back to him instantaneously. [Vince] We're trying to verify that the information that comes up 12 00:00:46.930 --> 00:00:51.160 on the mag strip, is the same information that is on the face of the card. 13 00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:55.370 If the card comes back no to match, we're able to freeze those assets that's 14 00:00:55.370 --> 00:00:59.510 on those cards using ERAD itself. 15 00:00:59.510 --> 00:01:02.996 [For more information: first.responder@hq.dhs.gov]
