1. A system, comprising:
- at least one server device; and
an evidence processing system executable in the at least one server device, wherein when executed the evidence processing system causes the at least one server device to at least;
obtain a plurality of image frames from a mobile phone device, wherein at least one of the image frames shows a vehicle;
detect a vehicle feature shown in at least one of the image frames, a plurality of characters of a license plate shown in at least one of the image frames, and whether at least one of the image frames shows the vehicle in violation of a traffic rule;
obtain, from a vehicle records device, vehicle data corresponding to the characters of the license plate;
determine whether the vehicle feature detected in at least one of the image frames matches a characteristic identified in the vehicle data;
generate an evidence package using at least one of the image frames;
transmit the evidence package to a computing device for review by an enforcement individual; and
adjust a credibility score of a user associated with the mobile phone device in response to receiving a notification that a citation is issued based at least in part on the evidence package.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for detecting and reporting improper activity, such a traffic violation. In one embodiment, a computing device receives multiple image frames from a client device. The computing device detects that a vehicle shown in at least one of the image frames is in violation of a rule. The computing device generates an evidence package based on at least one of the image frames. The computing device transmits the evidence to an evidence review device for review by an enforcement individual.

6. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, using at least one computing device, a plurality of image frames obtained by a mobile phone device, wherein at least one of the image frames shows a vehicle in violation of a traffic rule; obtaining, using at least one computing device, vehicle data corresponding to a license plate detected in at least one of the image frames, the vehicle data being obtained from a vehicle records device; determining, using at least one computing device, whether a vehicle feature detected in at least one of the image frames matches a characteristic identified in the vehicle data; generating, using the at least one computing device, an evidence package based on at least one of the image frames; transmitting, using the at least one computing device, the evidence package to an evidence review device for review of the evidence package by an enforcement individual; obtaining, using the at least one computing device, a notification that a citation was issued in connection with the evidence package; and adjusting, using the at least one computing device, a credibility score associated with the mobile phone device based on the notification that the citation was issued. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system, comprising:
-
a phone device; and an application executable in the phone device, wherein when executed, the application causes the phone device to at least; collect a plurality of image frames; obtain an indication that a vehicle shown in at least one of the image frames is involved with an improper activity; and transmit at least a subset of the image frames to an evidence processing system that obtains vehicle data corresponding to a license plate detected in at least one of the image frames, determines whether a vehicle feature detected in at least one of the image frames matches a characteristic identified in the vehicle data, and adjusts a credibility score of a user associated with the phone device based at least in part on whether the transmitted image frames result in a citation. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20)
