Abstract
Methods and systems for generating and storing a vehicle based notification record including evidentiary License Plate Recognition (LPR) information are presented herein.

The vehicle based notification record includes the collected evidentiary images in their native format including metadata. The collected images and metadata are preserved in their original format during communication, storage, and retrieval operations. In some embodiments, the geographic location of image capture is appended to the image metadata. In some embodiments, the images are digitally signed after capture and the digital signature is appended to the metadata of each respective image. In some embodiments, a clock of the LPR imaging system and a clock of the portable imaging system are synchronized with a network time server and time of image capture is appended to image metadata.
