Can the Electronic Eye Capture the Trunk Being Raised?

Can the Electronic Eye Capture the Trunk Being Raised? The electronic eye can capture the trunk being raised. Definition of Electronic Eye: The "electronic eye" is the colloquial term for the "Intelligent Traffic Violation Monitoring and Recording Management System." It utilizes various technologies such as vehicle detection, photoelectric imaging, automatic control, network communication, and computer processing to monitor violations like running red lights, driving in the wrong direction, speeding, crossing lanes, and illegal parking around the clock. It captures images and data of traffic violations and processes them afterward based on the violation information. Principles of Electronic Eye Capture: There are two types: one involves induction loops buried underground with digital cameras mounted on crossbars to capture red-light violations, while the other uses cameras to record speeding, running red lights, and illegal parking in real time.

Last time I drove to pick up a friend, the trunk was open the whole way and I didn’t get caught. Electronic eyes mainly capture speeding and crossing lines. But if you keep the trunk open for a long time and block the license plate, you’ll definitely get caught. Once when I was delivering a microwave, the box was so tall it covered half the plate, and just after passing the intersection, the camera flashed. A traffic police friend told me the cameras can automatically detect obscured plates, and if caught, it’s a 9-point deduction. Temporarily opening the trunk to get something is fine, but remember not to be lazy like me and leave it open while transporting large items—blocking the plate once costs way more than a taxi fare.

Our team focuses on three key points when handling electronic surveillance captures: vehicle speed, lane position, and license plate status. Occasionally popping open trunks are not considered violations, but persistent obstruction of license plates will inevitably trigger system alarms. Last week, there was a case where a driver used ropes to secure a ladder in the trunk, blocking the license plate for 20 minutes, and was captured at three intersections. It was ultimately treated as intentional license plate obstruction, resulting in a 200-yuan fine and 9 penalty points. It's recommended not to drive with the trunk open for more than 3 minutes, and to ensure it's tightly closed when passing through electronic surveillance areas.

When I modified my car, I asked the inspection station technician: as long as the license plate is fully exposed, the electronic eye doesn't care about the trunk opening or closing. But if you modify the hydraulic struts to keep the trunk always raised, or pile up goods to block the license plate, it's like a moving target. Someone in my car group transported potted plants, and the leaves covered the license plate, resulting in being caught on camera three times in a row, leading to a direct retake of the driving test. The safest practice is: after loading the goods, take a photo of the license plate position with your phone to ensure the complete number is visible from a 45-degree angle at the rear.

I remember one time during a heavy rainstorm when I went to pick up my child from school, the trunk latch malfunctioned and wouldn't close. I drove nervously through three traffic lights and checked the 12123 app when I got home—surprisingly, there were no violations. Later, I specifically asked my brother-in-law, a traffic officer: temporary openings that don't affect license plate recognition won't trigger the electronic eye's capture program. However, two things to note: first, avoid organizing items under the camera for too long, and second, don't use ropes to secure the trunk lid as the movement might block the plate. The algorithms in vehicle cameras are quite smart—even dynamic obstructions can be detected by AI.

We delivery drivers know this best: electronic eyes can recognize license plates with millimeter-level precision. Opening the trunk to load goods never gets flagged, but last time a colleague used tape to stick the license plate to the van while transporting a fridge, and the system judged it as 'license plate obscured' within five minutes. Actually, regulations have clear standards—no object should cover the edges of the license plate characters. Simply put: when the trunk is open, take a photo from directly behind with your phone. If all the numbers and letters on the license plate are clearly visible in the photo, then it's fine.
