MMDA Validates NCAP: Ensuring Fair Traffic Enforcement in the Philippines

MMDA Implements Validation Process for NCAP in the Philippines The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) in the Philippines recently announced a validation process for its No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP). This policy uses CCTV cameras to automatically detect traffic violations. However, the MMDA has clarified that all captured violations undergo manual review. This is to ensure accuracy and prevent the issuance of citations for legitimate reasons, such as emergency vehicles. "Manually, we are checking if the capture is correct," stated an MMDA official in a recent press briefing. "We invalidate many captures, especially those involving emergency vehicles. We don't proceed with traffic citations in those cases." The validation process aims to increase transparency and fairness in the NCAP system. The MMDA's commitment to manual review demonstrates its dedication to accuracy and its efforts to avoid penalizing drivers unfairly. This approach is expected to improve public trust and confidence in the NCAP system.
