It is entered into the handheld so that the start time is entered into the system. This would prevent an untoward officer "cutting corners" and issuing a ticket with less than 3 hours expired.
The chalk is to show that the vehicle hasn't moved in that 3 hours. (Chalk is on the tread, and it takes only 2 tire rotations to make it disappear.) There were multiple times I returned, entered licence plate and it showed a violation, but in the absence of a chalk mark, there was no ticket issued.
