Johor police are now using the Intelligence Compound Online Payment System (iCOPS) smart cameras to weed out traffic offenders who have outstanding summonses and arrest warrants. According to Johor police chief Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay, four iCOPS cameras were supplied to the state’s traffic enforcement department (JSPT) early this year.
He added that the four iCOPS cameras are being used in three districts – Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru Selatan and Iskandar Puteri – as well as highway patrol. “The use of this tool will allow us to detect vehicles with outstanding summonses, arrest warrants, fake number plates and theft records,” he said.
He added that the data of the vehicle is obtained by scanning its number plate with the iCOPS camera, which is connected to the JSPT’s iCOPS data centre. He was speaking to media at a joint operation targeting commercial vehicles at the Skudai toll plaza yesterday, reported by Harian Metro.
The virtual coil and infrared-equipped iCOPS cameras have been used by PDRM, including in Ops Selamat operations, since 2017. The cops have also used it to detect cloned cars.

Next (when we open back) Singaporean registered cars. These guys drive like demons here.
That is why JB Polis now getting ready to ‘welcome’ these speed demons and give them love letter before they leave.
Good move by state government to catch those kiasu car from neighbour country who break the law in malaysia
Macam mana mau settle?
Bayar saman, apa lagi.
PDRM should follow Datuk Ayob Khan method and do this more often nationwide. Esp during Raya breaks,
Those who have more than 5 outstanding unpaid summons should be hauled to the nearest balai and spend the next 14 -30days in lokap till court proceedings start.
How can we allow a moron with 10-15 summons get away,and wait for year end 70% discounts?Your auntie or kids could be in danger of these moronic driving dudes.
Discounts are unheard off in many advanced countries.
So you prefer to spend taxpayers monies to feed, house, & clothe them for the next 14-30 days just to recoup summons that likely won’t be enough to repay all that monies spent to haul them in? Not so very wise eh, lucky your not making government policies.
so, does this mean traffic offenders should not be punished for not paying their summons just because taxpayers shouldn’t bear the cost of imprisoning those offenders?
Punish them by increasing summon levy up to a point where driving license can be revoked easily done in system at no cost, it is that simple. Why waste public money, are we that rich, or do you prefer to see a lot more jails sprouting up?
How about those who break the law by driving or riding without any licence?
This is the way to do it!
hopefully more of this system to be used nationwide.
