Those standing beside their car holding the speed gun, do they record and send letters later or their main function is to check from speed gun, those exceed will then give chase and issue summon on the spot? I know those caught by overhead bridge ones will be issued letters, so what about those by the roadside?

Precisely why one shouldn't dabble with crime in the first place... Like they say: Do the crime, pay the time. And if I may add further: Do the crime, pay the time & can't earn a dime . Having said that, society should accept those reformed ex-cons else they may go back to the old ways & the vicious cycle repeats once more.

It may be a case of "you can run, but you can't hide" increasingly for motorists here, as the growing use of in-vehicle cameras helps the police track down errant drivers. The Traffic Police said it has received more videos of traffic violations recorded with these cameras, original videos of which can be submitted as evidence. It started tracking the number of such videos last year after noticing a higher frequency in submissions. By the end of last year, it had received about 1,000 of these clips. Observers say the trend can help make drivers more careful. Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/more-using-car-cams-help-track-traffic-offenders-20140303

The Ops Cantas Khas Trafik crackdown has already begun with the police rounding up habitual traffic offenders first. The operation commenced in Ipoh and saw traffic policemen going “door to door” to bring in motorists with more than two warrants of arrests and more than 15 unsettled summonses. The first operation was conducted between 3pm and 6pm on Thurs­day. Nationwide operations, which will see the police stopping motorist­s at roadblocks, will commence next week. “We are targeting the habitual offenders first,” Acting Federal Traffic chief Senior Asst Comm Mohd Fuad Abd Latiff told The Star yesterday. He advised the public not to be alarmed as the habitual offenders would still be given a chance to settle the summonses despite being picked up. “The objective of the operation is to get the offenders to pay up,” he stressed. SAC Mohd Fuad said the police had prepared the warrants of arrest for 251,000 traffic offenders. “We are going ahead with roadblocks mounted nationwide to arrest errant vehicle users from next week. “After being arrested at a roadblock, the motorist will be brought to the police station and if he or she refuses to pay the summons, the person will be released on police bail with one surety,” he said, adding that the police would then apply for a new court date for the individual to either challenge the case or plead for a lower fine. He said all preparations ahead of starting the roadblocks had been completed. “We want to ensure that all state police contingents will be ready to carry out the operations successfully,” he said. Asked about public complaints over difficulties in checking summonses on the official police online portal, SAC Mohd Fuad said there were many alternatives to do so, including through www.myeg.com.my, www.rilek.com.my, post offices and at Maybank ATMs. “The public can check at selected shopping malls or go straight to any traffic police counter. They can even check at the Road Transport Depart­ment branches,” he said. It was previously reported that the number of traffic offenders had been growing each year and along with that the number of motorists who were ignoring their summonses. In 2008, traffic police went after 96,000 vehicle users with unsettled summonses under Ops Warta VII but as of now, the figure had shot up to more than 1.7 million. Unable to go after all of them at once, police are targeting over 251,000 errant motorists, heavy vehicle drivers and motorcyclists in the first stage of Ops Cantas Khas Trafik. Notices are being sent out to the offenders, warning them that warrants of arrest have been issued. At the same time, expired warrants are being renewed.

Mon, Mar 22, 2010 The Korea Herald/Asia News Network By Bae Hyun-jung THE Justice Ministry announced yesterday it had expelled two people in the month since a legal revision permanently banning foreign sex offenders from the country went into effect. The ministry has revised the immigration control law last month to tighten regulations on sex offenders. Under the new rule, the government will permanently deny entry to foreigners convicted of sex offenses, regardless of when and where their crimes were committed. Foreign nationals will be expelled immediately if they have been convicted of sex crimes and will be permanently banned from returning. People deported for crimes are usually denied reentry for up to five years, a figure which can be extended through a retrial. The move came the nation hardens its crackdown on sex crimes. The number of rapes committed by foreign nationals here last year rose by 11 percent from the previous year, according to the National Police Agency. The number of foreigners residing here exceeded 1.1 million as of last May. "There have been cases in which persons deported for sex offenses attempted to illegally reenter the country," said a ministry official. The NPA, together with other government departments, launched a joint task force in October to crack down on foreigners' crimes, focusing on drug and sex offenses. The government also submitted a revision proposal which would obligate foreigners to have their photos and fingerprints taken beginning 2012. The revision bill is currently pending at the National Assembly.
