He show no respect for his uniform because he don’t want people to see his name and from which organization. His uniform looked like Traffic Police white top and navy blue pants. His uniform used to camouflage himself to look like police and to confuse the public. Since he is not in full-uniform, then the traffic summons cannot be issued at any time.
I guess that the Traffic Police (TP) will only accept photos if you are traffic wardens on duty and in full uniform. Does it mean that the public photos are useless and throw away by the TP? At any time, you and the public have rights to photo those buses running outside the bus-lanes. If the Ticket Inspector cum Traffic can photo us, then likewise we should also photo then for overtaking buses and reckless driving outside the bus-lanes.

Written Answer to the Parliamentary Question on Outsourcing of Traffic Fines.

“3 Finally, I would like to clarify that there are no plainclothes traffic wardens. All traffic wardens are in uniform when they are on duty.”
All the uniform groups are trained in disciple and marching in parade ground. The SBS Ticket Inspectors do not have hats so that they do not need to salute to each other. So I think that it is not a uniform worn by SBS Ticket Inspectors. They are not trained to learn Traffic Acts, not recruited in Police Academy and do not march. To salute someone, you have to be in uniform and not other clothes.
If their so-call uniform versus the statements from Deputy PM: “All traffic wardens (to issue traffic fines) must be in (full; because there’s no half/partial) uniform, then where is the legal jurisdiction that held up to berserk and ridicule.
Then are SBS Ticket Inspectors abused with powers to walk among us and boasting their uniforms. As far as I know, I did not see them march in any National Day Celebrations.

On the bus, he display his name and ID pass so that the passengers will be checked and also to send offenders for cheating fares to court directly with summons. But out of the bus, this ticket inspector becomes "cum Traffic" now become "2-faced" because he doesn’t want to display his name. I think that his name displayed only for Inspector while inside the bus. I wouldn't image that in public their name-pin is not on their so-call part-uniform. I had seen many of them behaved like him. So to him is if you cannot defeat the crook-system them join in the crooks.

Once I temporary stopped my car to alight a passenger on the double yellow lines road at the front of the HDB food center. As usual the passenger was to return quickly after handing over the small pack of goods to the stall vendor at this food center. Later, I turn off my engine and got down from the car. Just a few seconds and a few feets away from my car, I turned my head around to check my car did a auto arm-lock. Instead I saw a peculiar man trained his big LCD camera to photo my car’s registration plate. Without any hesitation, I pressed my car transmitter to scream the car horn and immediately run to him to stop him from taking the photos. This stranger also too took off name tag pinned on his uniform and employee identification pass worn on the neck so that nobody will know his name. His uniform also does not have any SBS logo too. When asked him all the W’s; Who are he?: where are you from?: Why must you take?: When do you submit to your boss?: etc.. He refused to answer your questions except the only words “the photos will be sent to the Traffic Police for them to decide the traffic offences”.

You do not write to them about TP or SBS TIs because your threads posting will be removed if you prove to them that there are SBS TIs with cameras to issue traffic offences. I gave up on their stubbornness and arrogance.

Are you working for SBS Transit Ltd or you know your closest person/ family member work as a SBS Ticket Inspector cum Traffic (TI)?
You quote “… NOT within their jobscopes to take photos”. I disagreed. Did you phone the Customer Relation (CRC) of SBS Transit Ltd (SBS) to verify it that the TIs carry cameras to photo vehicles and not their SBS’s vehicles? There is no TI who goes against his employer to ask Traffic Police (TP) to issue traffic offence (TO) less he will be terminated. Did you ask SBS why the TIs carry cameras beside those equipments you mentioned? Did you know his tripod can be small by not extending the legs?
I confirm to you that the TIs do use cameras to photo vehicles to issue traffic offences. Also, as long as I know I did not see or hear of any idiot- imposters who want to be look like TIs, or to be someone to issue TOs. I have no idea how you think that they are from someone else or TP at bus stops and if not, then who do you think they are? Please check yourself further why so many drivers were issued traffic offences for driving into bus yellow bay-boxes and bus-lanes.
Till today, the TIs are still taking photos of vehicles also for parking offences.
My car photos were taken by a TI for parking on the road with yellow double-lines and not a bus-lane. The bus-stop is very far from my car. After more than a month, I received the TO though my letter-box. Do you know that there were many others like me were also issued with traffic offences in mail-boxes instead of the TOs stick on your car window’s wiper only after the TIs have photographed their vehicles? Previously, I did not know like you that cameras photos are being used to issue traffic offences.
You quote “what makes u think that you are in a position to question the professional qualifications of SBST's traffic inspectors”. Its public information especially SBS transit is providing us good quality service to customers. Moreover if they can issue TO by camera, then it is too exceptional where others are forbidden. I am not talking about ticket-inspection and so we don’t need to discuss it because they knew well their duty and cannot hide their name-pins. But not as “cum Traffic” (traffic warden), then it is questionable because the public do not know their roles and duties? The CRC of SBS will explain to you about how the TI’s can inspect your fare and get your feedback, likewise it’s the same TIs you have the rights to know how and why cameras are used for issuing TOs. From the “coffee-talk”, I heard that TIs are not trained in traffic-laws/acts and to pass the examinations papers set by TP in order to be traffic wardens. So I think that is why they cannot use HP machine printer with hardcopy (HP) like all other parking wardens do. If the SBS TIs are given the HP then they are considered “outsourced” by LTA.
Now I put back your own bitter pill; “Why can’t we ask the TI’s qualification (need not be professional, then they are too qualified and need not be TIs). As far as we know that the TIs were not cum traffic wardens. Do you agree? Its new titles that make them alien to us by providing such bad services especially their un-respected uniforms (remove items off to hide his identity). Many of us are not happy about cameras that will be abused because the photo images are digitalised to put on computers and websites for self-motivation. Why not the old negative-films? Many of the lost and unclaimed cameras are with SBS. I hope SBS will buy their own cameras and seek approval from TP and LTA. I noticed that the TIs are having all different brands, shapes and sizes….. you guess where this cameras are from? I dare not say because SBS will surely claim that all the cameras belonged to the company.
Don’t challenge me to the facts and to prove to you that it is no nonsense. What more can you dispute.

Re: Traffic, Parking, Bus-Lanes, Road Offences
Refer to ST papers 18 Jan 07, reported every month 450 motorists got fined $130 each for driving in Orchard Rd "red-n-yellow " lines alone. Less not forgetting the other traffic and parking fines. The monies collected is more than you could imagine and "easy to rob legally". Are we killing each other to see your friends or own folks to be put down? Our values taught to be gracious and charitable to others has all been forgotten. Hugh windfalls for LTA, TP,.... We should also want the buses to be out-of-bonds outside the bus-lanes. Then it is fair to every motorist too.
I have enquired LTA, SBS AND TP. LTA said “is not their TO, you talked to TP because my TO was issued by TP. SBS said “We don’t issued TO but photos send to TP to issued TO”. TP said “write in to appeal and we will decide whether to waive.”
I have written many emails to the Traffic Police (TP) and carbon copied to SBS Transit Ltd (SBS) Customers Relation (CRC). My many questions, allegations and accusation against a SBS Transit Ticket Inspector cum Traffic (TI) were all NOT answered but with their deaf ears. Finally I had WON because the TP waived the traffic offence. If the TP or SBS refuse to answer any questions pertaining to the TI, why should I fear not to write it here?

Re: Traffic, Parking, Bus-Lanes, Road Offences
I was issued a TO by camera photos when I turned my back away from my car for a few seconds. I do not know where the TI was hiding nearby. I saw him infront of me that he quickly taking photos of my car and I cannot stopped him. He refused to listen. As far as I remember there is no such TI, parking warden or traffic enforcement officers "ambushing" motorists in order to meet quotas and his behavior was likened to the “Crouching (ambush) Tiger, Hidden (Hide-n-Seek) Dragon”. I would like the TP to answer me whether the authorities are endorsing entrapment as a legitimate form of law enforcement in a civil society like Singapore? In this regard, may I ask the TP which is the responsible party/dept for training the wardens to be good role models to motorists and also educating the wardens to be able to carry out their duties with objectivity and impartiality (and not adopt double standards – they can do it but not others) and professionally (not relying on questionable behavior like a Crouching (ambush) tiger)? Are we Singaporean gracious and kind except your Traffic Police?
I wish to quote my recent email dated 29 Oct 2006 No.5" ..25 Oct 2006, I had spoken to Jessie Low, SBS Transit Customer Relation Officer at 1800-2872727…. All the Ticket Inspectors of SBS Transit will only take photos of vehicles parked very near at bus-stops. She was surprised that my car was very far from the bus stop and the said warden has no instruction, no authority, no jurisdiction, his duty to busybody his good-self to "camera" at the said place of offence.. Should he be near the bus-stop and not at my car location?"
Below James was unlucky before he could catch the warden red-handed and before issuing the TO and not photos.
OVER-ZEALOUS TRAFFIC WARDENS
Unsuspecting motorist gets ticket in `ambush'
HERE'S my two cents' worth in the discussion on outsourcing traffic policing duties.
One Sunday in June, I went to make a withdrawal at an ATM in Abacus Plaza at Tampines Central. As most of the offices were closed, Tampines Central was deserted except for some security personnel at the entrances to the car parks. I stopped my car at the side of the road and was back in a flash after making my withdrawal. To my dismay, I saw a Cisco warden quickly walk-ing away after issuing me a ticket. I was puzzled by the speed at which the warden appeared, issued a ticket, then disappeared. I returned the following Sunday afternoon and saw the warden playing hide-and-seek with me in an apparent attempt to "am-bush" me. I stopped my car and approached him for his details. Although my three min-utes of illegal parking did not cause any traffic conges-tion or inconvenience any other road-user, I concede I broke the law and have du-ly paid my fine. What disgusts me are the questionable methods em-ployed by the private traffic enforcement companies in their attempt to achieve their objectives ie. issue summonses. Is this a case of the means justifying the end? I recall the furore over an anti-narcotics officer who lured a doctor to sell drugs through an Internet chatroom. Are the authorities endorsing entrapment as a legitimate form of law enforcement? Until recently, I do not remember traffic enforcement officers ambushing motorists in order to meet quotas. Should we expect to play more hide-and-seek with Cisco wardens henceforth?

Re: Traffic, Parking, Bus-Lanes, Road Offences
In advanced countries like e.g. Taiwan, road lanes is provided for motor-cycles or any 2/3 wheels and are out-of-bounds to vehicles with more than 4 wheels. If Singapore wants to be world-class transport, then look at the people who are deprive of motorcycles for cheaper cost than cars. The more you try to build a democratic society, the more non-rich people will want to own motorcycles. Not soon, buying a car may not be expensive but how to bear the high cost of COE, fines, parking, taxes, insurance, petrol, etc.. We may come back to those days when after the COE introduction, the car cost is much costly that HDB flats and more inflation. More words to describe will make you feel worried.
The LTA is now testing the GSM system to track every car. Then all the IU/ERP, road gantries, parking wardens, speed-traps, speed cameras and TP BMW-speedsters, etc. will be redundant. The LTA may want more than a super 4G or latest to track vehicles under tall buildings, road tunnels and basements. More fines and usage of cars is imminent.
If we just to look at the windfall traffic fines or offences, it may eventually be Number-One against all other gain/profits to the government state. We are not wealthy or progressed in net gross per capita income if the item for all nature of windfall is removed from as gain/profits.
Take a look at the URL below. I hope to see the latest figures for year 2006 and current period.

“The total number of summonses issued for illegal parking from 1 January to 30 September 2005 was 153,000. The total monetary value of these summonses was $12 million1. For the corresponding period of 1 January to 30 September 1999, prior to the introduction of the Traffic Warden Scheme on 1 November 1999, the total number of summonses issued for illegal parking was 178,000.

Re: Traffic, Parking, Bus-Lanes, Road Offences
I cannot please everyone neither do you, because our minds are not alike unless for self-motivation or he is from TP or SBS. I hope those who are displeased will spare some thoughts for others.
I wrote to tell the people, that digitalized photos are been used and SBS TIs does exist. I believed there are few “cunning” parking wardens playing ambush and hide-n-seek game with motorists. If parking wardens are not in full uniform then who will take disciplinary measures by their respective organisation. As far as I know and was not informed by TP that no action was taken against the mentioned a SBS Ticket Inspector cum Traffic (parking warden) who was in front of me and my witness for his disrespected uniform, misconduct and behaviour, undisciplined and his illegal “back-dagger”, un-endorsed entrapment to ambush my car under my watchful eyes.
The said TIs photo is a second click and I have written numerous letters and emails to TP. The TP conceded defeat and many questions were not answered. There are more things to let the people know what had happened so that they will know more of their rights and how to appeal against the traffic offences.

Without any notification or warning to me, “WPYEO”, a SHC-Forum Moderator, REMOVED the topic including all my previous threads/topics. After eating “WPYEO” does not know how to wipe his mouth to cover his tracks and mistakes! He had argued wrongly and so he removed my topics to cover his shameful and argue face. You do not write to them about TP or SBS TIs because your threads posting will be removed if you prove to them that there are SBS TIs with cameras to issue traffic offences. I gave up on their stubbornness and arrogance.
My posting: Thu Jan 18, 2007 3:25pm
Are you working for SBS Transit Ltd or you know your closest person/ family member work as a SBS Ticket Inspector cum Traffic (TI)?
You quote “… NOT within their jobscopes to take photos”. I disagreed. Did you phone the Customer Relation (CRC) of SBS Transit Ltd (SBS) to verify it that the TIs carry cameras to photo vehicles and not their SBS’s vehicles? There is no TI who goes against his employer to ask Traffic Police (TP) to issue traffic offence (TO) less he will be terminated. Did you ask SBS why the TIs carry cameras beside those equipments you mentioned? Did you know his tripod can be small by not extending the legs?
I confirm to you that the TIs do use cameras to photo vehicles to issue traffic offences. Also, as long as I know I did not see or hear of any idiot- imposters who want to be look like TIs, or to be someone to issue TOs. I have no idea how you think that they are from someone else or TP at bus stops and if not, then who do you think they are? Please check yourself further why so many drivers were issued traffic offences for driving into bus yellow bay-boxes and bus-lanes.
Till today, the TIs are still taking photos of vehicles also for parking offences.
My car photos were taken by a TI for parking on the road with yellow double-lines and not a bus-lane. The bus-stop is very far from my car. After more than a month, I received the TO though my letter-box. Do you know that there were many others like me were also issued with traffic offences in mail-boxes instead of the TOs stick on your car window’s wiper only after the TIs have photographed their vehicles? Previously, I did not know like you that cameras photos are being used to issue traffic offences.
You quote “what makes u think that you are in a position to question the professional qualifications of SBST's traffic inspectors”.
Its public information especially SBS transit is providing us good quality service to customers. Moreover if they can issue TO by camera, then it is too exceptional where others are forbidden. I am not talking about ticket-inspection and so we don’t need to discuss it because they knew well their duty and cannot hide their name-pins. But not as “cum Traffic” (traffic warden), then it is questionable because the public do not know their roles and duties? The CRC of SBS will explain to you about how the TI’s can inspect your fare and get your feedback, likewise it’s the same TIs you have the rights to know how and why cameras are used for issuing TOs. From the “coffee-talk”, I heard that TIs are not trained in traffic-laws/acts and to pass the examinations papers set by TP in order to be traffic wardens. So I think that is why they cannot use HP machine printer with hardcopy (HP) like all other parking wardens do. If the SBS TIs are given the HP then they are considered “outsourced” by LTA.
Now I put back your own bitter pill; “Why can’t we ask the TI’s qualification (need not be professional, then they are too qualified and need not be TIs). As far as we know that the TIs were not cum traffic wardens. Do you agree? Its new titles that make them alien to us by providing such bad services especially their un-respected uniforms (remove items off to hide his identity). Many of us are not happy about cameras that will be abused because the photo images are digitalised to put on computers and websites for self-motivation. Why not the old negative-films? Many of the lost and unclaimed cameras are with SBS. I hope SBS will buy their own cameras and seek approval from TP and LTA. I noticed that the TIs are having all different brands, shapes and sizes….. you guess where this cameras are from? I dare not say because SBS will surely claim that all the cameras belonged to the company.
Don’t challenge me to the facts and to prove to you that it is no nonsense. What more can you dispute.

Re: Traffic, Parking, Bus-Lanes, Road Offences
I think beside the "Parking Idiots" may a new "Parking Wardens Idiots" will be more interesting too. Is more interesting to show his face or better with his full name to put in here. Then the TP will not ignore us. All along we shown their vehicles plate numbers and the TP don't care. I am sure that the photos of the parking wardens and not motorcycles plate numbers will have prompt reply with apologises. If the TP still don't care, then the parking wardens will be more concern.

Re: Traffic, Parking, Bus-Lanes, Road Offences
Fine, it's too long to read...
1. TIs and TP uniform look alike. They don't want to comment.
2. Parking wardens cannot wear civilian clothes or not in full uniform.
3. Why they remove their name-tags or ID-tags? The people must be able to see their names or ranks and not to hide in the pockets.
4. The parking wardens are above the law; they can park but not others and double-standards.
5. TIs to camera-photo about their bus-lanes, bus-stops and bus terminals, why busybody at all the roads without any jurisdiction.
6. Use unendorsed entrapment and hide-n-seek game to issue summons.
7. Why only SBS TIs use cameras but not TP, CISCO, United Premas, LTA and Chubb using HP-machine printer?
8. Negative-films must be allowed because digitalised image can read by computers will be abused for personal gain and also be easily put in websites like "idiots parking"
9. The parking wardens or TIs must answer drivers’ enquires "Which company are you from". If they refuse, then we should complain more .. because of his part-uniform.
10. May I ask the TP which is the responsible party/dept for training the wardens to be good role models to motorists and also educating the wardens to be able to carry out their duties with objectivity and impartiality (and not adopt double standards – they can do it but not others) and professionally...........it's just a starting,more to come.......

They are to be in full uniform before they can perform their duties to issue summons of offences. If we can see all of them in uniform then you would able to see most of the traffic wardens do not have name-tags or lanyard with ID on their part-uniforms. If the uniforms (including SBS Transit Ticket Inspectors cum Traffic Wardens) are shown here in "Parking Warden Idiots", we would be pondering more as to why they look like the TP.

What are the Traffic and Parking Acts....?
I refer to the Traffic Act (Cap 276):
ROAD TRAFFIC ACT,
And Parking Places Act (Cap. 214):
PARKING PLACES ACT
1. This Act may be cited as the Parking Places Act.
Interpretation
2. -(1) In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires -
"park" means to bring a motor vehicle or a trailer to a stationary position and cause it to wait for any purpose other than that of immediately taking up or setting down persons, goods or luggage;
"goods" includes goods or burden of any description;
Since there is no interpretation for “burden”, therefore the law or acts permitted to use any dictionary terms and meaning. According to Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English: [countable noun]-something difficult or worrying that you are responsible for; something that is carried [= load].
The above said Traffic and Parking Places Acts does stipulated for load and unloading of goods or burdens from any type of vehicles, like taxis or any vehicles can taking up or setting down persons. Most of the drivers parked the car on the roads because they have to accompany the elderly people to get inside their home. When you stop your vehicle to throw rubbish from the vehicle or to pick up debris, tree branches, stones or items fallen on the road that will cause road accidents. Then these are “burden of any description” that you did not committed any traffic offence.
My vehicle was on the unbroken double yellow lines. I did throw my rubbish from the car and immediately taking up or setting down a person. Therefore, there is no traffic offence against me. That's why my TO was waived.
