LTO to implement RFID tags

[impulzz]

just read sa newspaper, starting oct 1, 2009 the LTO will require all vehicles to get RFID (Radio Frequency Identification System) tagging of all legally-registered vehicles in the country. this tagging will enable LTO and other authorized government agencies (think PNP etc.) to monitor traffic patterns, sepate colurum PUB/PUJs , verify ownership of vehicles, etc. Each tag will contain the vehicle's data, including the owner's NAME, ADDRESS, etc.

they also said that this will help solve our traffic problems, like in other countries. as they track vehicles travel patterns.

will it really help? so yung mga PUV na laging sa no loading/ unloading zones nagsasakay eh ticket agad? since they can track every vehicle di ba. or is this another money making scheme nanaman.

umaangal na nga si Sen. Miraim na yung road user's tax hindi nila ma account for, ngayon eto naman RFID dagdag singil nanaman sa atin.

As usual, the government simply loves spending more and more tax payer's money.

[keelerako]

in my opinion, many will contest that policy because i think that it is an invasion to someone's right to privacy. since based on what you say, it will track your travel patterns. they will know if you usually go to the motels or beer-houses. you can easily be caught by your wife just by inquiring your travel patterns to the lto!hahaha.

Hmmm... panibagong racket uli yan para sa mga LTO officials & fixers. Masaya uli ang mga "Korean" . . . magkano-korean.

The idea is good . . . mas madaling magpa-register, madaling ma-identify ang mga kolorum, at magandang deterrent sa mga nagbabalak gumamit ng pekeng plates. But it will take years to have it implemeted all over the country. Yung computerization program nga nila nuon e more than 5 years bago namin naramdaman sa probinsya.

I would be for it but with a twist.

RFID tags limited to:
Public utility vehicles.(jeepneys, bus, taxi, rental cars)
Emergency vehicles (police, ambulance, firetrucks)
All government vehicles
Vehicles registered to politicians and immediate families.

bro, this is the one that confuses me most... does it mean that privately owned vehicles are not included with the implementation?

mahal din ha? 350 petot per tag. another source of income to be used for the elections.... tamang tama ang timing sa implementation.

and if private owned vehicles are included in the implementation, pano yung mga vehicles na hindi pa na transfer of ownership? so yung previous owner pa din ang nakalagay?

In the "law" all vehicles must have the RFID chip

mahal din ha? 350 petot per tag. another source of income to be used for the elections.... tamang tama ang timing sa implementation.

Exactly, the timing is so suspiciously convenient for additional election funds

and if private owned vehicles are included in the implementation, pano yung mga vehicles na hindi pa na transfer of ownership? so yung previous owner pa din ang nakalagay?

It would be possible that a new RFID tag would be issued to replace the old one if the vehicle is sold.

:bowako
I agree with ghosthunter!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reepicheep]

I even doubt if they already the chips, system and infrastructures needed

[kotiko]

Yeah it's certainly an invasion the one's privacy.

I think they should implement it to PUBLIC vehicles first, especially those for transportation...

+1. In this case, the public will know who are abusing especially on the government vehicles where sometimes they used it for "private" purpose.

[Memphis Raines]

This identification system is invasive and potentially dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands :diablo:

[p_borj]

a big NO NO for me.

No info re: RFID on LTO website

+1M para malaman sang club nagpupunta... kaso, baka may exemption na naman...

I concur with GH! Dapat sa PUVs, gov't vehicles, and emergency services lang ang RFID. Hindi pa ba sapat ang nararanasang harassment ng mga private motorists mula sa mga corrupt traffic enforcers/authorities, poor road/infrastrucutre conditions, at windshield-punas boys ?

A fee of php350 will be imposed for the chips. Dagdag pasanin uli ito. OK lang sana kung matino ang pamamalakad nila.

'Ganda talaga ng timing para next year. Isama mo na din yung balak i-increase sa 200% ang PAGIBIG fund collections. Nabuko na kasi pag gamit nila sa OWWA, GSIS, at PhilHealth funds nuong past election.

saw their ads sa newspaper then last weekend nakita ko rin sa TV.

mag install na daw sila sa mga cars ng Radio frequency Identification Tag(RFID)

hinde ko lang alam kung magkano naman ang babayaran. will start this coming October daw.

bakit ganun kung kailan malapit nanaman ang election eh meron nanaman project ang LTO. remember the road user's tax? ginamit lang sa election yun funds

[Altis6453]

I thought this RFID scheme was only for PUVs. What purpose would it have for private vehicles? Tracking in case of theft? Violation of UVVRP? Speeding?

[shadow]

parang both for public and private na

may existing thread na to..
