JPJ to use GoPro 360 cameras to catch drivers using phones, illegal overtakes, seat belt, traffic violations

The road transport department (JPJ) motorcycle enforcement unit will be outfitted with GoPro Max 360 cameras for surveillance and detection of offences committed by road users through this coming Hari Raya Aidilfitri festive season, Bernama has reported.

The motorcycle enforcement unit will be conducting patrols in areas identified as hotspots, and will focus on nine main offences that have been identified as the causes of fatal road accidents, said JPJ director general Datuk Zailani Hashim. A total of 128 cameras will be deployed for this purpose, according to the report.

“Roadblocks will be mounted as usual, and with the increase in the volume of vehicles on the road, monitoring will be done by members [of the enforcement unit] equipped with GoPro Max 360 cameras, the department’s director-general said.

The unit members outfitted with the cameras will be tasked with detecting offences such as the non-usage of helmets and seat belts, overtaking on double lines, traffic light violations, mobile phone use while driving as well as the overloading of commercial vehicles.

Based on recordings of the offences, owners of the vehicles found will be called for questioning before action is taken against them, Zailani said. The operation by the JPJ starts today, and will conclude on May 9, 2022.

    brilliant authorities as usual. As if the traffic is not bad enough and they decided setting up roadblock at this point in time to be a smart move. Malaysia will never progress under leadership of this bunch of talented jokers

      The joke is on you. Does the article mention anything about roadblock? Suddenly sounds not so brilliant eh? Malaysia progression is hindered by talented smart Alec like you.

      Copy paste: “asal dengar Polis or JPJ je terus nak kondem..susah la kalau dah toxic minded..komplen macam2 memang la senang..kalau ko sendiri kene langgar dgn keta tu baru la tau macam mana

      kadang2 ko rase ko betul tapi padahal takde la betul sangat”

    Tons of summons…but very few want to pay early.
    Why?
    Waiting for year end or special occasion “celebratory” rebates.
    To nab those without helmets,simple.
    Just go to any sekolah..Dad has helmet..kids behind all no helmets.

      North island is just like south island. Duadua pun sama spesis. So proud of Chinese education but learn ZERO morals, breaking laws at will in hopes to bribe police when kena caught then go back complain about corruption in Malaysia. Real f8ckup minds.

    Will they ever catch the motorcycles roaming on Federal highway or Kesas highway?
    Those motorcyclists are a danger to themselves and other motorists, yet no actions have been taken.

          If there are no givers, there are no takers. Rasuah tu amal budaya Malaysians. Komplen kuat pun amal Malaysians. Harap tu xkena tangkap. Bila polis panggil dah lettew nak sogok. Lepas tu komplen rasuah kuat di Malaysia. Tanya sendiri siapa salah, pemberi ke penerima?

    Whenever our brilliant government announces something they’d like to buy, you can bet your ass that the capital they’d reveal would be disproportionate to the product’s actual price tag.
