Constitutional Rights
- The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently upheld that photographing from public spaces is a constitutional right

Proven Precedents
- HOV/Express Lane violations are currently enforced using automated camera systems
- Toll bridge violations are prosecuted using photographic evidence
- Red light cameras have been legally issuing citations for decades
Public Space Photography
- Taking photographs of plainly visible items from public spaces is protected by the First Amendment
- Courts have repeatedly affirmed the public’s right to photograph vehicles in public spaces
- tagSnapper’s process mirrors established practices used by parking enforcement
Existing Automated Systems
California already uses automated systems for:

Expired tags: Silent killers in plain sight
Millions of vehicles with expired tags roam California roads, posing unseen dangers. Law enforcement’s challenge to monitor and cite these violations underscores a significant public safety and environmental issue.
Why it matters: With 17% of California drivers uninsured and the state’s air quality being the worst in the nation due to automobile emissions, the urgency to address expired vehicle tags becomes clear. The financial stakes are high, with the state losing $425 million annually.
The big picture: The issue of expired tags is not just a matter of legal compliance but a complex problem affecting public safety, environmental health, and state finances.
By the numbers: 3.73 million vehicles, or 11.3% of those on California roads, have expired vehicle registration, contributing to uninsured drivers and significant air pollution.
How we address the problem: The tagSnapper app empowers citizen sentinels and gig workers to capture images of expired tags, facilitating rapid, targeted enforcement at no additional cost to the state.
Automated enforcement: The entire process is automated, with notices similar to toll violations mailed or emailed to vehicle owners. The existing automated remittance system handles fines, requiring no additional human resources.
The bottom line: tagSnapper represents an innovative, zero-cost solution for California’s expired tag crisis, combining technology with civic engagement to improve safety, reduce pollution, and recover lost revenue.
Call to action: Join the tagSnapper pilot program and be part of the solution. Schedule a consultation today and step into the future of vehicle compliance and enforcement.
