Cop rider flagged for passing through EDSA Busway, other violations

A motorcycle rider who introduced himself as a police officer was flagged by law enforcers for using the EDSA Busway and for other violations.

According to Mark Salazar’s report in “24 Oras” on Monday, the rider was called out by the agents of Transportation Department’s Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation (DOTr-SAICT) along EDSA during the rush hour.

Spot report showed that the rider tried to evade authorities after the latter noticed that his motorcycle didn’t have a plate number.

He later showed a plate number, his driver’s license, and Philippine National Police ID.

The DOTR-SAICT confirmed with the PNP that the rider was indeed a cop. He was eventually turned over to the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group.

The DOTr-SAICT advised motorists that when there are no traffic enforcers present, they can take a photo of alleged traffic violations and report it to them. — Vince Angelo Ferreras/BAP, GMA Integrated News
