helps rein in vehicle registration
Target CHP Goal
‘to enforce the provisions of the
California Vehicle Code’
Specifically
Enforceable under §4000,
veh 5204(a)
Requires display of valid tabs
By the numbers:
More than one in ten
vehicle registrations become
delinquent every year
Turnkey technology that’s
Automated
with an overnight process
Works with existing:
– technology
– processes &
– remittance
system
Self-funding
Leaving existing budgets are unaffected
Why it Matters
PROBLEM
Violation of veh 5204(a)
This law requires the display of valid tabs on the rear license plate.
Every year, more than one-in-ten vehicle registrations worth an estimated $425 million become delinquent.
OUTCOMES
Ease the low-priority ticketing burden from law enforcement.
Improve compliance with existing laws.
Enhance safety for all road users.
SOLUTION
We electronically supply a daily data table and photo evidence of expired license plates to any state agency.
Using this proof, the agency sends a notification similar to a toll bridge violation to the vehicle owner.
EVIDENCE
The CHP REG program has allowed people to report out-of-state vehicle registration cheats for many years.
The result is greater compliance and recoupement of tens of millions of dollars.
Details
to dig a little deeper
Privacy
According to the ACLU –
Taking photographs of things that are plainly visible from public spaces is a constitutional right.
WHY
Because 11.3% of vehicle registration accounts, worth an estimated $425 million, become delinquent – every year.

The CHP cites the most common reasons for vehicles not being properly registered as:
- Owners are unaware of the registration laws in California
- Owners are evading paying taxes and registration fees
- Their vehicle fails to meet the State air pollution standards
- Their automobile is uninsured
(According to the Insurance Information Institute – One in six uninsured)
Two more culprits adding to this loss include:
- Out-of-state vehicles not registering their vehicle when relocating to California
- PNO (planned non-operational) vehicles are still illegally on the road

WHO
An expanding legion of civically minded Californians
HOW
Our purpose-built app captures photographic proof of expired plates on the road.
The date, time, and location are stamped on the image.
The overnight process extracts:
- License plate number
- Year and month of tabs
- Color, make and model of vehicle
- Physical location/address of where the image was taken
- Days delinquent
- Unclear images and unexpired plates are filtered out
- Plates that have been previously reported are omitted from the daily report
These data are used to generate a notice similar to a toll bridge violation.
WHERE
The daily data table can be electronically transmitted to any office with a connection to the DMVNET.
Precise internal flow to be determined.
