SC asked to lift TRO on no-contact apprehension

The Philippine Star

|

August 31, 2024

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and the Land Transportation Office have asked the Supreme Court (SC) to lift the temporary restraining order (TRO) and dismiss petitions against the No-Contact Apprehension Policy or NCAP.

- By DAPHNE GALVEZ

In their reply submitted by the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), the agencies said traffic violations monitored through CCTV have increased to 257,000 since the SC issued the TRO in August 2022.

About 32,000 violations were recorded in May 2023 alone, compared to the 9,500 average traffic violations per month before NCAP was suspended, the two agencies claimed.

The OSG noted the difficulty experienced by the MMDA in enforcing the exclusive bus lane along EDSA without CCTV help in apprehending violators, which also supposedly led to some accidents.
