You don't need to be logged into BlueSpot.VIP to take the photos. You will take the photos with your phone's camera app as you normally take photos. You will need to take two photos... one of the rear of the vehicle showing the license plate and parking spot, and also the front of the vehicle showing the windshield and lack of a hanging placard. See the Help documentation to see more details.

4. Upload your photos in BlueSpot.VIP

After uploading the photos, enter the license plate information and click Submit. Your submission will be routed to the correct law enforcement agency based on the locality of the violation.

5. Contact Law Enforcement Agencies

Help ensure BlueSpot.VIP's success in your area by contacting your local Police Departments and Sheriffs' offices and urging them to sign up (if they aren't already) so they will receive the violations submitted by you and other advocates in your area. Contact them on their non-emergency number or social media page, encouraging them to visit www.BlueSpot.VIP to learn more and sign up!
