Info
titleWhen do we use this?

Virtual Chalking allows a patrol officer to capture and time stamp an image of a vehicle for the purpose of "Chalking" it. 
For example: If a vehicle is parked and the owner is going to purchase a permit, there would be a grace period to allow the client to obtain the permit and return to the vehicle to display the permit. Alternately, in areas where parking is provided on a timed basis where a vehicle can park free for 2 hours, the officer can virtually chalk the vehicle on a first pass earlier in the day and then be able to check the vehicle later in the day to determine if it has been parked longer than the permitted time frame.

 

 

What is E-Chalking (Virtual Chalking)?

  • Virtual chalking, or e-chalking is an electronic process that mirrors how an officer would manually chalk a vehicle's tire, in order to see how long they have been parked
  • Virtual chalking creates a Time-Stamped image, of both the license plate & the entire car, in order to track how long they've been parked
  • Virtual chalking provides an image that can be attached to the violation and is acceptable in a court-of-law, provided the date/time stamp is visible & clear. 
  • When LPR software is capturing plates, officers can simply click "Virtual Chalk"  to create/save the image
