Why is traffic enforcement so sneaky?

[Tkseah]

That is a rather dim view of humanity right? That everyone from 18 to 60 needs to be punished in order to behave. Like that might as well issue all people who pass TP with $120 fine and 3 demerit points for the offence they are about to commit.

 

If the idea is we need to deploy police everywhere in order for people to behave, then I think this country have no hope already. Education level is high high buy social responsibility on par with Zimbabwe.

 

If everyone can behave without policing, then we would not need to have locks liao.. Do u feel a need to lock your car and house?

 

[Aeromania]

This is all wrong man... TP are suppose to make sure every road users to use the road safely. Now all they care is catch more vehicles. Meet quota I suppose...

[Parkingidiot]

What if the driver happens to be colour blind and/or short sighted?

 

 

color blind and shortsighted cannot get driving licence... shouldn't be driving in the first place.

[Bystander50]

Saw one civilian hiding behind a tree along macpherson road filming drivers driving on bus lanes at about 8am

 

The question next is the summon valid if the enforement officer is not in uniform doing his work.

Plain clothes policeman doing their work is understandable, but for others, not in uniform = off shift right?

i guess our society already consist of too many of this type of people to "re-educate"......

 

Guess its still back to "when the cat is out, the mice are out to play".......

I do not look down or any job or even appointment of individuals. Every job has its own responsibility. But i do not agree on a enforcement officer to be sneaky.

[HARDGAYHOOOO]

a speeder will always jam brake when he see a TP with or without them hiding [:p]

 

if want to speed, do it 光明正大 and get a ticket for it

 

 

In the first place , why should we get a ticket for the so-called offences????? Who made up such rules/offences....????? The government !!!!

AGREED!!! Any difference compare to criminals?????? [mad]

[Xspace]

Revenue generating for now...

[Renegade777]

Errr....actually Australian highway really have these type of signs. "Warning..Speed cam xxx metres ahead. Slow down now."

 

Dunno. But think that by right before we reach the deployment of speed cams, there should be a warning sign telling motorist that speed cam ahead and to slow down. This is to warn motorists that you are too fast and have to slow down for safety sake. Can see this kind of signs last time whenever there are speed cams deployment. Even at traffic lights, if there are red light cameras, they will have to warn you to be careful before reaching the lights. This is to tell and caution you to drive safe and there is cameras.

 

This is customer service telling motorists to slow down and drive safe and should be deployed only at risky or accident prone areas. But now, I dont get to see all this. They anyhow deploy and just want to catch motorists that is all. Sub-standards.

Why is it the officers catching bus lane violaters need to hide behind a tree?

Why is it officers with speed cams must ambush from overhead bridges?

Now there are even reports of TP in plain clothes.

Why can't people doing 官 work be 光明正大 and announce their pressence?

 

I ask this question because I am pondering the root principle behind traffic enforcement. Is it to prevent accidents or to make money? Is the sneaky method employed because the govt thinks we are very childish?

==================

 

Now alot of this enforcement work is contracted out to private companies by TP so these contractors r trying to show that they r very good at catching violators & resort to such underhanded tactics.

 

If TP was catching, they cannot do this cos pple wil complain that they r being sneaky & underhanded but now its dome by private contractors, they dont really bother as long as they get a healthy supply of summones every week, they r happy.

 

[Pisces69]

POLICE SPEED CAMERA 100M AHEAD!!!!!

 

POLICE SPEED CAMERA 50M AHEAD!!!!!!

 

POLICE SPEED CAMERA 10M AHEAD!!!!!!

 

YOU TIO PAWNED!!!!!

===============

 

 

Ya. If they gave warning like that wil b good.

[Pisces69]

Alternatively you could ponder another root principle - would a driver violate the law openly knowing that a law enforcer is in the open?

===============

 

Then why do they warn motorists about those fixed speed cams along the eways?

 

They sud do it for those mobile speedcams too.

 

At least for safety sake.

If not how to catch offenders and hit their quota??

 

Far far away can see clearly, of course all know how to become good boys and gals.

reminds me of the movie Minority Report, where offenders are caught before the crime happens...except this one is traffic offence instead of murder.. LOL

[Freestylers09]

sometimes wondering why they nid to be sneaky or openly to catch pple be it for profit or whatever reason...

 

issit we Singaporeans lack of Self discipline for these rules and regulations to occurs..and SPECIALLY to have them to hide n catch or openly?

 

be it in profit or whatever reason....why we never though of "do we have the discipline when come to things in life on it"?Chewing gums ban is v good example...

 

so i conclude this way every bros here never over speed limit b4? if so..what do we have the rights to ask about it?

 

talking about setting regulations,theres too many debates on whats right n wrong ..esp on figures of the limit etc...

 

very mean but true like Gearoi say " leading life right and cleanly, why are so troubled by rules and laws?"

 

who can earn from u or charge u if u never do anything wrong n be bothered by sneaky mouse to generate quota and $ etc..
