Patent ID: 8111173

Claim:
A method of documenting traffic violations, comprising, capturing measured data of a first vehicle having a speed, which passes through a predetermined measurement range on a roadway having a plurality of vehicle lanes, storing said measured data as a measured data packet jointly with a measuring time point, taking a picture of said first vehicle with a camera at a picture-taking time point, which picture is stored as an image data packet, wherein there is a known temporal correlation between the picture-taking time point and the measuring time point, which correlation makes it possible to link the image data packet uniquely to the measured data packet in order to be able to generate a first vehicle data packet, and capturing measured data for additional vehicles having speeds that pass through a predetermined measurement range and storing said measured data for said additional vehicles as measured data packets jointly with measuring time points, and checking to determine whether said measuring time points occur within a time interval after said measuring time point of the first vehicle and that, if necessary, the image data packet is duplicated in order to link it to the measured data packets of said additional vehicles in order to generate additional vehicle data packets.
