The implementation of the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) will resume on Monday (May 26) after its temporary restraining order was partially lifted by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

In a television interview, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Don Artes said the implementation of the NCAP will be the same where notice for the traffic violations will be sent to the registered address of the vehicle owners.

"There are no changes. We have been implementing NCAP before. It was just paused by a TRO," he said.

"Basically, instead of our enforcers physically apprehending the violators, CCTV cameras will catch them. Then, we will just send the notice of violation to their addresses registered with (Land Transportation Office (LTO)," he added.

After receiving their notice, violators can also contest their violation through the MMDA Facebook page and website.

"You can contest that on our Facebook page and our website. There is a form that they can fill out. They don't need to go to the MMDA if they think that the arrest is not right. We can send them the actual footage of their violation so that we can prove that the apprehension is right," the chairman said.

Artes said the NCAP will be implemented only in areas under their jurisdiction "particularly EDSA, C5, Commonwealth, Ortigas, Roxas Boulevard and the Mabuhay Lanes" where their CCTV cameras were installed.

Aside from the existing CCTV cameras, Artes said the MMDA will also install about 1000 additional CCTV cameras in areas under their jurisdiction. Robina Asido/DMS
