If you think your phone is meant for communication, entertainment or source of information only, you’re not 100% accurate just yet. Do you know that your phone can be used as law enforcement tool as well? Really? Sounds good! Yes, as long as your phone is equipped with camera, you can anytime become one of ‘traffic officer’ to help make our road safer.

This is how it works. Beginning last month, JPJ has openly called public to use their camera/camera phone to snap the photo of traffic offender anywhere in Malaysia. The traffic offender photos then can be sent to email address aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my and any action will be taken accordingly by them.

How will this help motorist to follow the traffic rules? The objective of this program is to create an awareness that, everyone is responsible of patrolling our road, not only police or JPJ officers. By then, motorists will keep this in mind that other motorists around them is watching them as well, or in other word, they can indirectly summon you if you break the rules. Do you think you would dare to cross the red traffic light if a policeman is riding beside you? The same concept applied here, everyone is a ‘policemen’ or ‘JPJ officer’ when they’re on the road.

pst – JPJ’s website is now become more social, you can tweet and share on FB of their web page.

via – the article mistakenly reads email address as website, erm where the heck is the editor?
