  • detecting a usage of said vehicle for its transportation from one location to another;

    requesting, at a vehicle unit, an identification from an identification device;

    if said internal identification setting does not match said received identification or if said identification is not received, emitting an alert message comprising information concerning said vehicle in a predetermined range of said vehicle;

    receiving said alert message at a police car unit installed in a displaceable police car, when said police car is within said predetermined range of said vehicle; and

    indicating said information concerning said vehicle at said police car unit;
