Bus passengers pictures taken to prevent robbery

[SIZE=2]Passengers in Manila would have to pose for a picture first before being allowed to board buses bound for the provinces. The picture-taking scheme is the police's new tactic to prevent bus robberies, particularly on buses that travel to the provinces.

A DZMM report said that the Manila Police District (MPD) started the new anti-criminality scheme on Thursday. The scheme was tested on bus terminals located along Rizal and Doroteo Jose avenues in Manila.

Chief Superintendent Roberto Rosales, MPD director, said the police and bus companies will keep a file of the passengers' photos, which will be reviewed when bus robberies are reported.

In an interview, newly-installed National Police chief Deputy Director General Avelino Razon Jr., said he was scheduled to meet with the Manila City council. Razon said he will ask the Manila City government to pass an ordinance that will require the "picture-taking scheme" to bus passengers in Manila.

Under the new scheme, Razon said bus companies will be allowed to keep the passengers' photo files for three days. He clarified that only the bus companies' employees are allowed to take the photos through a digital camera.
If there are no reported robbery incidents after three days, the files of the photos would have to be removed from the memory cards of the bus companies' cameras.

Razon said the police would have to wait for the Manila city to issue an ordinance for the new scheme before it becomes fully operational.

I think it's a good idea...

[alwayz_yummy]

pampatagal.. pero ok nga yan..atleast ID ka na agad!

or better yet put also those hidden cams on board the bus

[juntzo]

bakit di na lang cctv camera para kunan lahat habang pumapasok sa bus. kung papicture pa isa isa eh di abala pa? tapos laki pa gastos... naghahanap lang ata ng bagong raket ang mga to...

[Flagg]

Mura lang naman digital cam + memory card these days...

[_Qwerty_]

eh kung pati digicam dalhin nang mga holduppers.. eh di useless din..

[claRkEnt]

lalo lang gugulo sa bus terminals... and how about those passengers na di sa terminal sumasakay?

and it's very easy to put some disguise... aral na sila kay Bitoy!

[Flagg]

Sa terminal naman naka-post yun e... sa bagay pwede din yun makuha sa terminal...

[Syuryuken]

bakit hindi na lang lagyan ng hidden camera ang mga bus

[Elroi]

well, at least they're doing something to discourage bus robberies..

kung sa terminal kukunan ng pics yung pasahero, di na mapipiktyuran yung pikapin nila na sakay along the way.

[vhenok]

I don't think may robbers na sasakay sa terminals...kahit ngaun may mga body frisking and metal detectors na mga guards...and also for records purposes, dapat habaan ung life cycle before burahin mga pics.

Dapat pagtuunan ng pansin is yung mga pickup passengers...

Though this is one good deterrent also.

[meledson]

magandang deterrent kung sa terminal magmumula.

[_Qwerty_]

dapat sa lahat nang provincial buses.. sa terminal lang pwedeng sumakay.. pag nakaalis na nang terminal.. hindi na pwede buksan yung pinto not unless may baba na..

[bavent]

I think mas ok kung CCTV installed sa mga buses para actual footage ng holdapan ay makunan ang problema sasabihin ng mga bus companies added gastos sa kanila.Pero ok na rin picture taking kesa wala,medyo may abala sa mga passengers pero it will be like a deterrent sa mga holduppers.

[66bunny]

Good idea. Ituloy din sana yung videocam sa loob ng bus.

[VtEC]

diko padin makita difference.pwede namang sumakay elsewhere yang mga kawatan nayan e.parang mas maganda though hassle lang e mag post sila ng mobile car (siguro 2) sa stretch ng NLEX or SLEX plus yong mga bus meron din mga devices na parang sa mga bank pag me robbery.atleast pag nareceive nayong signal andon lang yong mga pulis para mabilis ang responde.

[torque2006]

good idea, until the christmas season comes. they'd run out of film/disk space if that happens. and hopefully they file all this pictures in a secure database.

ok yan parang sa mga barko na may device in case of piracy attack

[RedHorse]

hay salamat, step ahead na lispu sa mga kriminal...

mabuhay si Razon..

[chua_riwap]

He-he! Usually naman ang mga holduppers di nasakay sa terminal. Yang ang madalas sabihin ng mga bus drivers. Yung mga perpetrators, doon sila nasampa before sa toll gate ng NLEX, sa Camachile, then a-announce ng holdup pag tumatakbo na. After that sabay talon na sa NLEX, kasama na yung loot nila.

O di, useless yung "photo shoot" sa mga terminals.

Gawin nila, terminal to terminal ang biyahe, huwag nang pi-pick up pa ng passengers in between the terminals, para may gamit yung pagkuha ng pictures sa terminal.
