    KIDAPAWAN CITY -- Hundreds of modified motorcycle mufflers were destroyed by the Kidapawan City government as it intensify campaign against noise polllution and illegal mufflers.

    A road roller flattened the confiscated mufflers in a ceremony in front of the Kidapawan City hall Tuesday witnessed by Mayor Joseph Evangelista and other officials.

    Rey Manar, head of Kidapawan City traffic unit, the assorted mufflers were seized during months of traffic law enforcement in the city.

    Locally known as "Bora-bora" (open pipe mufflers) the mufflers were improvised to create noise while the motorbike is running the streets of the city.

    The sound is very irritating to human ears.

    Manar admitted there are still motorcycles with "bora-bora" roaming around the city but in due time they will be confiscated.

    "At least with this confiscation, the noise pollution has been reduced," he said.

    Always was curious as to why 3) and 4) was not acted on / thought off .... It is so obvious...... and would catch 1000's......

    Means they would ACTUALLY catch offenders.... Then paperwork..... Then confiscation...... Then more paperwork...................

    Too hard .........................

    Give the LTO/Police officer that wrote a ticket/impounded the bike a small percentage of the fees as a bonus and I'm sure they won't mind the paperwork. :wink:

    Easy solution:
    1. Set up the normal "check point" on a main road.
    2. Set up your check point warning signs.
    3. After about an hour of the checkpoint being operational have about 10 LTO/PNP officers go 500 meters out in opposite directions.
    4. Once 500 meters out have them start moving back towards the check point checking licenses, registrations and mufflers of everyone parked on the side of the road.
    You'll have to do this for 3 consecutive nights in different areas of the city to catch as many people as you can before everyone learns the new strategy and increase their standoff beyond 500 meters. :wink:

    I don't know.
    So funny, some days ago i was on a "easyride" near Cang´s and there was a "check point". And 50 meters before them was a crossroads. There was like 20 motorcicles, stooped, looking at them with smiles on their faces like "go home...are not u tired already"....
    crazy
    yeah, 15% income for every police (like in european countries) for every bill from this un-autorized noised or withoutpaper motorbikes and things would change.

    But i guess thats includes foreigners without every paper under the law rules lol

    but u know...people only react when you touch their "pockets"...
