Methods, devices, and systems for vehicle tracking

A method of manufacturing a vehicle tracking device, the method comprising:

• mechanically assembling a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly with an enclosure assembly, wherein:
• the PCB assembly comprises:
• a processor;
• a memory electrically coupled with the processor;
• a real-time-clock electrically coupled with the processor;
• a satellite navigation receiver electrically coupled with the processor;
• and
• a first radio communication interface electrically coupled with the processor;
• and
• the enclosure assembly comprises:
• a plurality of mounts for securing the PCB assembly;
• and
• an attachment mechanism configured for:
• temporary non-damaging hand deployed mechanical coupling to a suspect's vehicle exterior by a law enforcement officer during a beginning and an in-motion premature exit of a traffic stop;
• and
• non-damaging decoupling from the suspect's vehicle exterior by the law enforcement officer upon a peaceful termination of the traffic stop;
• and
• applying a machine readable label to the enclosure assembly.
