Pagkumpiska ng plaka, bawal – LTO

MANILA, Philippines – Nagpaalala ang Land Transportation Office (LTO) na ipinagbabawal ang pagkumpiska sa plaka ng mga sasakyan kapag nahuli ng law enforcers at deputized agents.

Sa pahayag, sinabi na naglabas ng memorandum si LTO chief Jay Art Tugade na nagbabawal sa pagkumpiska ng license plates ng mga sasakyan, bilang tugon na rin sa reklamo at tanong sa ahensya kaugnay nito.

“To avoid further confusion, all LTO enforcement personnel and its deputized agents shall be prohibited from confiscating motor vehicle license plates in lieu of the physical impoundment of the apprehended motor vehicles,” saad sa pahayag.

Sinasabi rin sa memorandum na “in all instances where the penalty includes the confiscation, suspension or revocation of a driver’s license or student permit, as well as the suspension or revocation of the registration of a motor vehicle or impounding the motor vehicle, and the same cannot be immediately implemented, the driver’s license, the student permit, or motor vehicle, as the case may be, shall be placed on alarm until the proper penalty may be implemented.” RNT/JGC
