What is the Virtual Traffic Stop?

The Virtual Traffic Stop is an app designed to keep all people safe during a routine traffic stop. It acts as an icebreaker between law enforcement and drivers to reduce tensions during the traffic stop.

How does the virtual traffic stop work?

Download the app from the app store on your mobile phone. When you setup your virtual traffic stop account, you will be able to start a virtual traffic stop when you are pulled over by the police. The police officer will see your vehicle on their computer and select your vehicle for the virtual traffic stop. This will start a video conference between the officer, you and your third party. The officer will ask you questions and you can talk to the officer as well. This will reduce tension and any misunderstandings prior to the officer approaching your vehicle which makes everyone safer.
