The reports arrive.
The cost is handling them.
Civesto turns footage submitted by a member of the public into a structured, auditable case file the authority can act on. The system makes no legal assessment and issues no penalty — the decision stays with your officers.
Collection is solved.
Handling is not.
That the public will submit footage is already settled. In the United Kingdom, Operation SNAP received 232,709 submissions between January 2022 and May 2025, and action was taken against the driver in 71 per cent of them.
The cost sits after the upload: locating, verifying, classifying, removing duplicates, clearing personal data and preparing a file an officer can review. Today this is largely manual.
A supplier,
not an operator.
A private company must not perform a policing function. Civesto is built on that principle: we provide the handling environment, not the decision.
- Makes no legal assessment
- Does not decide whether an offence occurred
- No automated plate reading, no automated fines
- Publishes nothing — delivery is to the competent unit only
- The reporter's identity does not leave the authority
From report to case file
Two taps. Date, time, coordinates and direction of travel are recorded by the device, not typed by hand.
A hash of the file is taken, so it can be shown the footage was not altered afterwards.
Unreadable plates, insufficient framing and duplicate submissions about the same event are removed before they reach the authority.
Faces and plates unrelated to the reported conduct are masked automatically.
The file is handed to the competent unit in the format it requires, with every step traceable.
Institutional requirements
- Data hosted within the European Union
- Per-authority data isolation (multi-tenant)
- Audit record for every call
- REST API, signed webhooks, open-format export
- Deployment on the authority's own infrastructure available
What we do not claim
The system is technically ready: the mobile application is complete on both platforms and the authority layer is in operation.
We do not yet have a completed pilot with a public authority. We prefer to write that plainly rather than construct references that do not exist.
For that reason we offer first authorities a three-month pilot, free and without commitment, with success criteria agreed up front. The data remains with the authority.
