Police Checkpoints in the Philippines

An advisory on Police Checkpoints in the Philippines by GMA News TV As the May elections draw near and with the Comelec gun ban now in place, more checkpoints will be installed around the country, creating numerous interactions between police and citizens. The carnage in Atimonan at a dubious checkpoint does not inspire confidence that all police checkpoints are set up to protect the public.

This infographic describes what a PNP checkpoint should look like.

MGA DAPAT TANDAAN SA POLICE CHECKPOINTS:

1. Maliwanag dapat ang checkpoint at naka-uniporme ang nagbabantay na personnel.
2. Kapag pinalapit sa checkpoint, bagalan ang takbo ng sasakyan, patayin ang headlights at buksan ang cabin lights. Huwag lumabas ng sasakyan.
3. I-lock ang mga pinto. Visual search lang ang pwedeng gawin ng mga pulis.
4. Huwag pumayag sa body search.
5. Hindi ka obligadong buksan ang iyong glove compartment, trunk o bag.
6. Kung magtatanong ng routine questions ang mga pulis, sumagot nang magalang.
7. Panindigan ang iyong mga karapatan at huwag mag-panic.
8. Tiyaking madali mong makukuha ang iyong driver's license at mga papeles sa car registration.
9. Laging ihanda ang cellphone.
10. I-report agad kung nilabag ang iyong mga karapatan.
