second, the mandate of the HPG is to protect the public against carnappers, highway robbers, and highjackers who are doing their thing in the highway. under ra 6975, the traffic management unit of the pnp (now, hpg; TMG before) is a national support unit mandated to enforce traffic laws and regulations. unless your employees (your drivers and pahinantes) are carnappers or highway robbers or highjackers or violators of traffic laws and regulations, wala naman puedeng ikakatakot natin dyaan sa mga checkpoints conducted by hpg.
third, the same thing with traffic enforcers.
the life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience. that's accdg. to Holmes. society creates law for its protection because of experience. and, i think, a rule of conduct prior to it being violated is really difficult to ascertain how to go about it.
I think my question is more on ano ba ang prescribed protocol dapat as per ordinance or law... na madalas hindi sinusunod ng enforcer.. hut since di alam ng motorista.. di din nya magamit laban sa enforcer... like.. sa smoje belching.. I heard ( didnt get to ask the actual basis na document) .. but mga requirements daw ay:
- valid mission order ( kung wala, di sila pwede mag operate)
- valid, recent ( as in max 15 days old) calibration ng equipment nila
- it shouldbe the driver na aapak sa accelerator.. hindi pwede daw yung enforcer team... ( pwede daw kasuhan ang enforcer team pag sila ang umapak sa accelerator)

I dont know if all these are true.. kaya nga im hoping we could get to the source ng issuance ng mga ganitong batas...
