CHUKAI: Police are reaching out to dashcam owners for assistance in accident and road bully investigations, as part of an effort to bolster road safety measures.
Kemaman police chief Superintendent Hanyan Ramlan said such collaboration would ensure the smooth running of 'Op Selamat 21' road safety campaign throughout the Chinese New Year celebrations.
"With this approach, all dashcam owners will become public informants to all enforcement agencies," he said, highlighting the significance of dashcam footage in providing crucial evidence.
In a recent example, he said a local man who was caught on a dashcam driving recklessly on the bridge near Taman Alam Perdana, Jalan Air Putih, here, had been arrested at noon today.
"The suspect, who is in his 30s, is being detained to assist in the investigation under Section 42 of the Road Transport Act 1987. A remand application will be made tomorrow," he added. – BERNAMA
