Security in MOA can issue traffic violation ticket

**jay101** · February 23rd, 2009 10:47 AM

mga tsikot peeps gusto ko lang share expirience ko sa inyo last saturday night around 2AM sa mall of asia. nahuli ako sa moa dahil nag counterflow kami sa 2way street pag day time na ginawa nilang 1 way pag night time kasi nilalagyan nila ng mga harang. (hindi ko nga alam kung alam ng MOA management na hinaharangan nila yung mga street pag gabi)
sabi ko sa security supervisor baka pede warning na lang kami since hindi namin alam saka ala sila sign na 1 way yon. saka sabi ko pag day time naman hindi sya 1way. gulat na lang ako meron sya panticket tulad ng sa MMDA. kinuha license details ko, pati nung mga kasama ko (3 kotse kami) lahat counter flow at 2000petot ang fine bayaran daw sa metrobank. ang name sa ticket Arnel Anog (MOA security supervisor) tapos sa tapat meron MMDA badge number. ano yon security supervisor sa MOA at the same time MMDA enforcer sya? since late na that time hinyaan na lang namin.
mga peeps authorized ba talaga ng security personel ng MOA to issue trapic violation ticket? saka yung mga harang nila sa street strategic ang placement na pag pumasok ka sure na huli ka. pede ba reklamo sa MOA management yon.

they are deputized traffic enforcer ng mapsa. ako nahuli sa loob ng greenbelt for loading a passenger in a no loading and unloading zone.

sa mmda, there is an adjutication board where you could argue your point. problem is ignorance of the law (or road rule ek ek) excuses no one. that could be there bone of contention.

san ba pwede ireklamo yan kasi nung nahuli ako ng mapsa sa makati counter flow din 2000 din ang fine 2 mo suspension pa. nireklamo ko sa orense guadalupe ayun naging 150 petot lang binayadan ko

sir mas maganda hanapin mo nalang kung san pwede ireklamo hindi dahil may pang ticket sila katiwiran mo na lang yung side mo na pag umaga naman e ginagawang one way

If they are deputized to issue a TVR then you have no recourse but to settle the fine....otherwise report them to the Pasay City Hall or the MMDA.

Its possible to get out of paying the fine if you would contest the ticket. You can defend your actions saying that there was no clear posted sign regarding the one-way/two-way status of the particular road you were on.

Downside, you will still have to waste your time going to their office to do it.

In the end, how much is your time worth?

MAPSA cannot deputize anybody outside of Makati City. MOA is located in Pasay City.

AFAIK, only the LTO or local government units can deputize any agency or individual to enforce traffic laws or issue traffic citation tickets.

MMDA deputized enforcer yan sir. Kaya may TVR e. You can contest the violation, kaya lang ikaw na rin nagsabi na may harang and yet tumuloy ka pa din. So may violation ka po talaga.

Sa akin naman.. MOA is a private property. MMDA is authorized only on public roads. Dapat kumuha ng authorization ang MOA sa LTO hindi sa MMDA. Parang ginawa ng NLEX and SLEX.. self-governance pero with authority by LTO. Unless may prior Memorandum ang MOA with MMDA. Another thing.. pwede ba gawin ng MMDA un magbigay ng deputized traffic authority sa private property?

**mr_incredible** · February 24th, 2009 06:58 PM

bayaran mo na lang pero i-contest mo muna yung amount.

the closest violation I can see sa list ng LTO traffic violations is Violation 68B which is "Driving against traffic" and only carries a fine of Php150.00 not 2,000.

Tapos kasuhan mo yung officer ng extortion or something like that for fining you more than what is legal.

good luck
