Aklan
Representative Teodoro Haresco Jr. is proposing the mandatory installation of
closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras on major roads in the country.
On his House
Bill (HB) 4335, this will be known as “CCTV Act of 2014,” which will monitor
road accidents.
According to
Haresco, with the use of CCTVs, road accidents will be better investigated, and
the traffic will be effectively monitored.
The Aklan
Representative added that video/tape recordings will serve as evidence in such
accidents or in cases involving traffic violations.
Under the
“CCTV Act of 2014” the Departments of Interior and Local Government,
Transportation and Communications, Public Works and Highways and the Philippine
National Police will work alongside the local government units in the
implementation of its rules and regulations.
Haresco’s
House Bill 4335 is at the moment pending at the congress ‘committee on
transportation.
