00:00And now that the checkpoints are a hot topic during the election period, how can we know if those are legitimate police checkpoints?
00:07The PNP said that it should be placed in a bright or well-lit place.
00:1230 meters before it, there should be a sign saying,
00:15Checkpoint Ahead.
00:17At the checkpoint itself, the name and contact numbers of the commissioned police officers and election officers in the area should be visible.
00:25During the inspection, there should be no flashlights in the eyes or face of the drivers of the vehicle.
00:31The plain view should also be observed.
00:35This means that the motorists should not go down and the drivers should drive from the vehicle.
00:41They should only be able to lower the window and turn on the lights inside the vehicle.
00:45They should also stop and lower the windows if they see a gun or a gunman inside the vehicle.
00:52According to the PNP, the police officers should be wearing uniforms while guarding the checkpoint.
00:57The police officers can also record a video of their inspection using their body-worn cameras or alternate recording devices.
01:04The police officers can also record the inspection of the drivers of the vehicles.
01:13Some people ask, can we record the inspection of the drivers of the vehicles?
01:18There will be no problem if they think that they will be safe on their way there.
