Abstract
A method of recording and reporting traffic violations using a central recording unit that has at least one video camera and possibly additional still and video cameras. Additionally, there may be other cameras that interface with the central recording unit. The central recording unit is mounted to a vehicle in which it is used and may be connected to a separate gateway device that can transmit data to a violation recording center that will process data taken by the central recording unit. The violation recording center will evaluate whether data taken regarding other motorists warrants sending a fine to a non-compliant driver who is violating traffic laws. The method of this system provides for recording data regarding the non-compliant driver for a time before activation to a time after activation so that a full data bundle may be reviewed to determine whether a violation of traffic laws has occurred.
