Flaws in NCAP need to be fixed soon
THE Supreme Court lifted last week the temporary restraining order against the government's No Contact Apprehension Policy , which allowed the authorities to issue tickets to traffic violators caught on its system of street cameras. The system was adopted by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and several local government units , but was stopped when the Court, in response to two petitions filed against the program, issued the TRO in 2022 to stop its implementation.
Valenzuela City followed a year later. In December 2020, the Manila City Council allowed its traffic bureau to issue traffic tickets to motorists caught violating traffic laws on traffic enforcement cameras without the physical apprehension of an on-site traffic enforcer. Following a dry run from October 2021 to June 2022, Quezon City announced the full implementation of its No Contact Apprehension Program on July 1, 2022, along 15 major roads in the city.
