KUALA
LUMPUR, April 28 (Bernama) -- From May 1, police will issue summonses photographs
of vehicles violating traffic regulations in areas monitored by closed-circuit
television.
Police car capture the suspect
Deputy
Inspector General of Police Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said Thursday that the new
procedure would be used for all traffic offences, including speeding and
failure to use seat belts.
He
expects the new procedure to leave little chance of mistaken identity.
"But,
if there are still people who claim that police have got the wrong vehicle
(even with a picture attached to the summons), they should produce evidence of
the mistake at any traffic counter," he told reporters here.
In
areas without CCTV, summonses will be issued as usual by traffic officers,
Khalid said.
The
Deputy IGP also said that stern action would be taken against any police
personnel found to have refused to accept a report from a member of the public.
Khalid
said the top police management had received many complaints about policemen and
officers refusing to take reports from the public.
He
said this errant behavior was discussed in the Delivery Task Force meeting
chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin in Putrajaya
Thursday.
Khalid
told the public that the next time a policeman refused to take their report,
they should note his number.
