The Ministry of Public Security will soon remove the regulation allowing people to use sound and video recording devices to monitor traffic police activities.
A new circular, set to take effect on Nov. 15, introduces changes in how citizens can observe authorities tasked with maintaining traffic order and safety.
Under the new guidelines, the use of recording devices will no longer be permitted. However, citizens can still monitor traffic police through other means, such as direct observation, accessing public information, engaging in direct discussions with officers, or filing complaints.
The circular also emphasizes that public monitoring must not interfere with officers performing their duties. Citizens are prohibited from entering areas where official tasks are being conducted unless they have relevant rights or responsibilities.
Additionally, information on certain public police activities related to maintaining traffic order, such as specific traffic patrol plans, will no longer be publicly disclosed under the updated regulations.
