LTO check point

Checkpoints need to have written permission to be set up. Where they are allowed to set it up at is very specific in the memorandum.

 

Not at all, that only applies to checkpoints. They just aren't allowed to change the location of the checkpoint or operate outside of the scope of work from what the paperwork gives them permission for.

 

Scope of work is not the location of work. The scope of work would be something like "look for illegal firearms/check vehicle registrations".

Law enforcement works very different in the Philippines. I bet it is not as simple as just stopping/pulling people over that are stopped on the side of the road. It isn't even that simple in the US. I personally don't want the Philippines to turn into a heavily policed country like most countries in the West. The "unregulated" nature of the country is one of the main reasons I decided to move there in the first place.

 

I asked some of the local pnp a few years back why they don't ticket more of them with no papers of licences. I wasn't really surprised at the answer. "They are poor people who can't afford food or he is related to such n such so we can't book them!
No hope what so ever here.

 

I hope so.
