LTO to implement RFID tags

[impulzz]

just read sa newspaper, starting oct 1, 2009 the LTO will require all vehicles to get RFID (Radio Frequency Identification System) tagging of all legally-registered vehicles in the country. this tagging will enable LTO and other authorized government agencies (think PNP etc.) to monitor traffic patterns, sepate colurum PUB/PUJs , verify ownership of vehicles, etc. Each tag will contain the vehicle's data, including the owner's NAME, ADDRESS, etc.

they also said that this will help solve our traffic problems, like in other countries. as they track vehicles travel patterns.

will it really help? so yung mga PUV na laging sa no loading/ unloading zones nagsasakay eh ticket agad? since they can track every vehicle di ba. or is this another money making scheme nanaman.

umaangal na nga si Sen. Miraim na yung road user's tax hindi nila ma account for, ngayon eto naman RFID dagdag singil nanaman sa atin.

As usual, the government simply loves spending more and more tax payer's money.

in my opinion, many will contest that policy because i think that it is an invasion to someone's right to privacy. since based on what you say, it will track your travel patterns. they will know if you usually go to the motels or beer-houses. you can easily be caught by your wife just by inquiring your travel patterns to the lto!hahaha.

Hmmm... panibagong racket uli yan para sa mga LTO officials & fixers. Masaya uli ang mga "Korean" . . . magkano-korean.

The idea is good . . . mas madaling magpa-register, madaling ma-identify ang mga kolorum, at magandang deterrent sa mga nagbabalak gumamit ng pekeng plates. But it will take years to have it implemeted all over the country. Yung computerization program nga nila nuon e more than 5 years bago namin naramdaman sa probinsya.

I would be for it but with a twist.

RFID tags limited to:
Public utility vehicles.(jeepneys, bus, taxi, rental cars)
Emergency vehicles (police, ambulance, firetrucks)
All government vehicles
Vehicles registered to politicians and immediate families.

bro, this is the one that confuses me most... does it mean that privately owned vehicles are not included with the implementation?

mahal din ha? 350 petot per tag. another source of income to be used for the elections.... tamang tama ang timing sa implementation.

and if private owned vehicles are included in the implementation, pano yung mga vehicles na hindi pa na transfer of ownership? so yung previous owner pa din ang nakalagay?

In the "law" all vehicles must have the RFID chip

Exactly, the timing is so suspiciously convenient for additional election funds

and if private owned vehicles are included in the implementation, pano yung mga vehicles na hindi pa na transfer of ownership? so yung previous owner pa din ang nakalagay?

It would be possible that a new RFID tag would be issued to replace the old one if the vehicle is sold.

:bowako
I agree with ghosthunter!!!!!!!!!!!

[Reepicheep]

I even doubt if they already the chips, system and infrastructures needed

Yeah it's certainly an invasion the one's privacy.

I think they should implement it to PUBLIC vehicles first, especially those for transportation...
