I mean WTH is wrong with our lawmakers?!?
The main purpose, according to them, is to ID all riders and help lessen crime.
I say, you do not pass the burden of safety, life and limb, freedom of choice to the people that pay for their salaries. You do not pass on the shortcomings of your enforcement and policing to the people. It is as if you are giving the accountability of your incompetence to those who you swore to protect.
What is the country coming into?
Let's just say, knock on wood, that a rider meets an accident and because of the stupid law, is wearing a half or quarter or open face helmet and smashes his chin on the ground? Will the government shoulder his recovery and reconstruction of the jaw of this person who could have just worn a full face helmet and walk away with just bruises and a broken ego?
What about those who just spent their hard earned money to buy a good quality full face motorcycle helmet? Will they reimburse them?
I don't think so.
According to the Bill of Rights in the Philippine Constitution:
No ex post facto law or bill of attainder shall be enacted.
Somebody file a case against this lawmaker who put this burden on the innocent for their incompetence in curbing crime and lawlessness.
We should be watching out for who we vote for in the future.
