Temporary tag scanner for law enforcement

Point your phone at a paper tag. StreetSense reads it, checks it against the issuing state’s reference and shows you what doesn’t match, so you make the call with the reference in front of you. 50 states, with or without a subscription.

How it works

Scan the tag

On-device text recognition reads the tag, or you type it in by hand in a couple of seconds.

Checked against the state’s reference

The tag is compared with the issuing state’s reference, carried on the phone for all 50 states.

You see what flagged, and you decide

What didn’t match, next to the state’s tag types, officer notes, run-it guidance and who to call to verify.

What the reference covers

Tag format

Each state’s published tag format. A tag that doesn’t match is flagged for your review.

Dates

Issue and expiry, checked against the issuing state’s rules.

Known bad tags

Counterfeit patterns on file by state, kept in the reference data and updated with content releases.

The state’s own details

Tag types the state issues, officer notes, run-it guidance and the agency to verify through.

The engine assists. You decide. A scan result is a preliminary assessment, not proof, and not guaranteed. Verify through DMV / NLETS and your agency’s procedures before any action. Coverage and reference data vary by state and change with each release.

Scans stay on your phone, and the history clears when you close the app.
