How Many Days Does It Take to Receive Information About Illegal Photography?

[LeLaura]

Generally, the SMS notification for illegal photography is received within 3 to 7 days, and at the latest, within about 13 days. However, some cities have now introduced "instant alerts for electronic police captures," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5 to 10 minutes after being captured. But this notification does not equate to a traffic violation; it merely serves as a capture alert. The final determination of whether it constitutes a violation still takes 3 to 7 days. If it is indeed a violation, a new SMS notification will be sent. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then verified by the relevant traffic police department staff. Only after the violation is confirmed will the system automatically query the vehicle owner's phone number based on the license plate information and send the violation details via SMS to the owner. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department at the location of the violation to handle the matter within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects they have committed a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received beyond 15 days, it is likely that no violation has been recorded. Methods for Traffic Violation Queries: Traffic violation queries refer to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online platforms or query terminals. Methods for car violation queries include terminal queries at traffic police branches, car violation websites, phone queries, and mobile app queries. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter your vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for traffic violation confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by a traffic officer, they must be handled at the violation location. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select the violation query, and find the unprocessed violations to clear them.
