checkpoint but some motor vehicle driver and passenger they try to evade
checkpoint due to they are not wearing proper uniform, they don’t have
registration, they don’t have driver’s license. If they try to see checkpoint they
evade. In the checkpoint we know that those persons evading checkpoint have
no complete documents to show like registration of their motor vehicle and
driver’s license.

In our part as police officer, we will do the standard operating procedure, we


will greet the drivers and passengers with courtesy, and with that kind of
attrition it creates harmonious relationship. On the part of drivers and
passengers they must cooperate and answer the police officer with courtesy,
present all the necessary documents/papers requested by the officer. In fact,
there are still drivers that are hard client especially uniformed personnel when
they are approaching checkpoint they usually present their uniformed identity

still drivers and passengers have lack of knowledge in checkpoint while the
others they accept and cooperate in checkpoint because they know that it is for
their safety and security. We cannot blame them because they are civilians;
