"Watch
Your Car" Program |
|
|
The Arizona Automobile
Theft Authority (A.A.T.A.) “Watch
Your Car” program is a free, voluntary
program whereby vehicle owners are encouraged
to
register their vehicles with local law
enforcement agencies. The vehicle information
is entered
into the Motor Vehicle Department (M.V.D.)
database and registrants are provided decals
to display on the vehicle windshield. By
registering in this program, the vehicle
owner is giving permission for law enforcement
to stop their vehicle anytime between the
hours of 1:00am and 5:00am, when
the majority of vehicle thefts occur, and
verify
it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner. It also allows for law enforcement
officials to stop the vehicle at any time
during the day or night within one (1)
mile of the border, if there is suspicion
that
the vehicle is being operated illegally.
