    the ordinance sounded as silly as the hammer ban inside malls

    the thing is, criminality on two wheels' an almost perfect modus for indie contractors

    a lone hitman will do

    just add a helmet, bullet-proof vest, a machine pistol with a silenced sidearm, and a hand grenade and you're good to go

    a stark reminder of the widespread lack of civic order due to a collapsing political infrastructure

    because corruption breeds anarchy (on two wheels, or fours)

    that is your problem right there

    Did it work? I guess the Columbians won't re-implement if it didn't...

    Male Motorcycle Passengers Banned as Medellin Tackles Hitmen
    Written by Kyra Gurney Wednesday, 30 July 2014

    Men are prohibited from riding as passengers on motorcycles between 8 a.m. and 12 midnight, a measure that the government says has cut targeted killings by motorcycle riders.

    The Medellin Mayor's Office is set to extend the restriction until January 2015, reported El Colombiano.

    According to a press release from the Mayor's Office, motorcycle assassinations decreased by 39 percent in 13 months after the current ban was implemented in November 2012. Robberies of cars and of motorcycles by motorcycle riders each fell by nearly 30 percent.

    The mobility secretary of the Mayor's Office could not be reached for comment.

    The use of motorcycle assassins was popularized by Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel in the 1980s. Escobar's mentor Griselda Blanco, known as "The Queen of Cocaine," ordered her hitmen to travel by motorcycle, after some of her men used a car to carry out a killing, and were captured by the police while stuck in traffic. Ironically, Blanco was herself killed by motorcycle assassins in 2012.

    Escobar ordered the deaths of many high-profile figures using motorcycle assassins, including Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla in 1984, and El Espectador editor Guillermo Cano in 1986.

    Other criminal groups copied his tactics. Journalist and humorist Jaime Garzon was assassinated by two men on a motorcycle in 1999, a crime thought to have been ordered by the paramilitaries.

    Medellin authorities strictly enforce the ban, despite protests from some quarters. According to the Mayor's Office, between November 30, 2012, and January 26, 2014, close to 12,000 people were arrested for violating the ban.

    Medellin and other Colombian cities have previously imposed bans on motorcycle passengers, as have other countries in Latin America.

    Honduras Bans Motorbike Passengers, in Effort to Stop Hitmen - InSight Crime | Organized Crime in the Americas

    Honduras Bans Motorbike Passengers, in Effort to Stop Hitmen
    Written by Ronan Graham Friday, 09 December 2011

    The Honduran Congress has passed a temporary measure banning motorcycles from carrying passengers, following two high profile killings in the last week committed by gunmen on motorcycles.

    The new law, passed by Congress on Wednesday, will limit the number of persons permitted to travel on a motorcycle in Honduras to just one for a period of six months.

    The measure is a response to the killings of former Honduran Security Minister Alfredo Landaverde and radio journalist Luz Marina Paz Villalobos in separate incidents in the capital, Tegucigalpa, this week. Both were killed where motorcycles pulled up alongside their vehicles and a passenger on the motorcycle fired through the window. No arrests have been made so far in relation to either incident.

    "Given the current security situation, we believe that the appropriate response is that only one person at a time will be allowed on motorcycles," Security Minister Pompeyo Bonilla told lawmakers.

    Guatemala brought in a similar measure in 2009, also in an effort to halt assassinations.

    See, so it is not only in the Philippines. I think may merits itong law na into when passed. BTW, there is an increase on police checkpoints in my side of town (south metro manila) checking motorcycles. Also an increase in motorcycle cops. Only way to chase after motorcycle criminals is by motorbikes.

    But having a bullet proof vest, a machine pistol, a hand grenade & such screams to the whole world that you are an assasin, right?

    kwento sa amin kanina ng isang driver ng trucking company

    habang nakapila papunta pier (sa Manila kasi 1 lane lang ang mga truck) may mga lalake aakyat daw sa mga truck at kukunin ang jack at kung ano gawa sa bakal

    pag sinita lumalaban daw

    once binasag daw ang windshield ng truck niya

    wala ginagawa mga pulis

    kampi daw sa kriminal ang mga pulis
