ABSTRACT:
A system for reading license tags on vehicles enables a law enforcement officer to rapidly identify stolen tags, stolen vehicles and expired vehicle registrations. According to the system, law enforcement vehicles are provided with a scanner which is optimally positioned for receiving data stored in a chip which is carried in the annual registration renewal decal attached to the license tag on all automobiles. The scanner communicates with an onboard computer for processing the data captured from one or more automobiles positioned forward of the law enforcement vehicle, either in the same lane or adjacent lanes. The onboard computer communicates with a central law enforcement database server via wireless transmission, for instance by cellular communication and/or GPS satellite communication. Data captured from the license tag decals is matched with records stored on the central database to determine vehicle registration status of all automobiles within scanning view of the law enforcement vehicle. Vehicles in violation are instantly identified and the law enforcement officer is alerted with the use of a visual display and audible alarms.
