In response to a lawsuit filed by transportation organizations seeking to end the no-contact apprehension program (NCAP) for traffic violators, the Supreme Court has ordered five cities in Metro Manila and government regulators to react.

The Alliance of Concerned Transport Organizations, Pasang Masda, Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines, and Kilusan sa Pagbabago ng Industriya ng Transportasyon Inc. were among the transport organizations that filed a petition for certiorari with an application for a temporary restraining order before the High Court on August 3.

Manila, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Paranaque City, Muntinlupa City, and the Land Transportation Office are named in the lawsuit.

Hosaka stated, “The Court has ordered the respondents to file their respective comments to the aforementioned petition and motion for TRO within a non-extendible period of 10 days from receipt of the written notification from the Court.

The groups said in a 47-page appeal that a system that employs closed-circuit video cameras puts drivers “under constant threat of being arbitrarily detained remotely and issued notices of violation for supposed traffic infractions committed without any contact whatsoever.”

Modern cameras with artificial intelligence technology will continuously record the license plate numbers and conduction stickers of vehicles that violate traffic laws along a few main highways in Quezon City, which fully deployed NCAP on July 1.

NCAP, according to the City of Manila, will lessen traffic snarl-ups and blockages caused by seized vehicles, and “a more considerate environment for pedestrians will not only keep our family and loved ones safe but could favorably influence the tourism industry,” it added.

According to the Valenzuela NCAP website, the regulation has helped the city efficiently tackle the safety hazards associated with traffic congestion, irresponsible driving, and unsafe driving practices.

“Valenzuela City is propelled into the future as a pioneer and leader by the high-tech solution. The NCAP is still working to promote driver responsibility, public order, and road safety, it was added.

NCAP is seen by Paranaque as a means of discipline and a solution to the dangerously high levels of traffic.

Ruffy Biazon, the mayor of Muntinlupa, claimed in a message posted on Twitter on Tuesday that despite a contract signed by the previous administration, NCAP has not yet been implemented in the city.

Biazon tweeted, “I have not offered any position on whether or not we would adopt it.
