HOUSE BILL.NO. 3411

Introduced by Hon. Anthony Peter “Onyx” D. Crisologo

AN ACT
MANDATING THE USE OF MOUNTED DASHBOARD VIDEO
CAMERA IN ALL GOVERNMENT SERVICE VEHICLES AND
PUBLIC UTILITY VEHICLES

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The use of a Mounted Dashboard Camera has greatly helped in further
strengthening the capacity of the government to secure the safety of its
citizens. Its accuracy in recording incidents that take place on the road can be
beneficial to motorists and pedestrians when an unfortunate event happens.
With the government’s paramount objective of ensuring the safety of its
people, it is vital to utilize devices that can help improve our justice system.

Having a dashboard camera in a public vehicle will help serve as a
deterrent to potential aggressors both within the vehicle and even those
outside of it. In the case of government service vehicles, a dashboard camera
will help improve discipline among drivers and regulate the use of the vehicle
in terms of destinations and accommodation.

This bill seeks to require all government service vehicles and public
utility vehicles to use a Mounted Dashboard Camera to help in documenting
vehicular accidents, pilferage, and other crimes that may occur in the streets
of our country.

In view of the foregoing, the passage of this bill is earnestly sought.
