Should i remove my "wang-wang" on my car alarm?

[bugmenot]

Could i be flagged down because i have a "wang-wang" type of car alarm? it is your common car alarm but should i remove it? any replacements for that type?

[userfriendly]

I'm not a lawyer, but from what I know, they can not just flag you down if you do not commit a traffic violation. In case there is a check point, the rule is "plain sight". So they can not force you to open your hood, glove box, trunk or car door if you do not want to. They can however, ask you to open your car. If you consent then plain sight is no longer valid since you gave them permission to check your car. If you do not agree to a physical check, they can only use flashlights to see thru your windows.

Too be safe and to follow the rule of law, its best to remove your siren. I'm also in the same situation. My dad installed a wang wang when he was using the car. I dont use it but never removed it. Might as well remove it now.

If it's a common car alarm then it is only engaged once you park your car. I don't see any reason why your car alarm would go haywire while you are driving.

IMHO tanggalin mo na lang, di mo naman in reality kailangan yan.

[JackFlash]

If the "wang-wang" came as standard equipment w/ the alarm, then I see no reason why it should be removed. IMO, the only time it's illegal is if it's activated while your car is moving through traffic.

Puedeng material pala sa comedy ito. Someone breaks into your car. Alarm is activated, including wang-wang. Thief runs off w/ your valuables. Police rush to the scene. But instead of going after the thief, they arrest you for illegal use of wang-wang.

This is my car alarm that's installed. i've encircled the "wang-wang". should i tell my casa to replace this with something?

[speed unlimited]

Mas mainam na tanggalin mo na lang para wala kang abala iyong iba lalo na MMDA hindi naman nila alam na para sa alarm iyan .

Kung ako di ko tatanggalin kasi alarm naman yan e.

From what I heard, you can be flagged down and your vehicle inspected. If that is the case, then that is the risk you have to take, bro.... It's your call.

Pag di mo tinanggal tapos nasita ka, i-demo mo na lang na alarm sya at hindi "wang-wang".

[niky]

It's a car alarm. As long as it doesn't activate while you're driving and there's no dashboard switch to activate it, they won't give a damn.

[aejhayl17]

wala kang violation...para naman sa security/alarm ng auto yan e.

ang layo naman ng wang wang vs sa car alarm siren. in terms of use.

but kung nilagyan mu ng seperate switch yung siren ng car alarm mo to be a wang wang, yun ang bawal.

meron din ako yung parang siren-type na alarm. i will not remove it because i need it.

Exactly. It's as simple as that.

May mga nakita ako sa news sa TV na mga binaklas na tulad ng siren ng Alpine Car Alarm ko. Nakakainis nga, anti thief device yan di naman wang-wang. Iniisip ko na ring ipatanggal yun kaysa magka-ticket pa.

Has anybody here had experienced na ipatanggal ng mga enforcer ang siren ng car alarm? Feed back please.....

Hahaha! This made my day.

Theoretically speaking: What if the car alarm goes faulty and trips the siren while on the move? What then?

Yun ang tinatawag na malas haha

Actually common sense dictates that car alarm are not included in the "wang-wang" ban. Problem is we have some MMDA or other enforcers who don't have common sense. As long as they see a horn shape device, they already assume its a Wang-Wang.

I for one is against those cars with illegal Wang-Wang. But the law should be properly interpreted and implemented so that the enforcers knows for sure which is illegal and which are not.

based sa picture mo speaker lang ng alarm unit mo yan di naman wangwang ang wangwang kasi masmalaki ang magnet & malaki ang size ng body & ang control unit makikita mo may microphone pa pang public address system may selector switch din na may yelp, hi-lo, wail-1, wail-2, manual, siren, eto example ng siren or wangwang control unit
