Forensic analysis of taximeter data – the forensic use of fare meters in the taxi industry
Taxi meters record legally required journey data, such as distance, duration and fare, and store this in a tamper-proof memory designed for tax and commercial law purposes.
This data may be of forensic relevance for tracing individual journeys or for investigating suspected tampering with the taximeter.
