Check points to remember when you are in checkpoints

Photo grabbed from here

The Philippine National Police released some guidelines so you will know your rights when you are confronted with a checkpoint. I don't know if this will also be applicable with motorcycle drivers. But still. If you know your rights, you can save a life.

1. Checkpoints must be well-lighted, properly identified and manned by uniformed personnel.
2. Upon approach, slow down, dim headlights and turn on cabin lights. NEVER STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
3. Lock all doors. Only visual search is allowed.
4. DO NOT SUBMIT TO A PHYSICAL OR BODY SEARCH.
5. You are not obliged to open glove compartment, trunk or bags.
6. Ordinary/Routine questions may be asked. Be courteous but firm with answers.
7. Assert your rights, have presence of mind and do not panic.
8. Keep your driver's license and car registration handy and within reach.
9. Be ready to use your cellphone at anytime. Keep a speed dial emergency number.
10. Report violations immediately. Your actions may save others.

Please share.
