Although at the time the measure rejected for stigmatizing the person, the Government of the State of Jalisco decided to relaunch the program and announced that from March all motorcyclists must wear a reflective vest with some plates. Otherwise, they will be fined and the vehicle will be confiscated if they do not prove its origin. The operation will be applied throughout the State, mainly in the Metropolitan Area of Guadalajara (AMG) and is aimed at low-displacement bikes of less than 250 cubic centimeters.
The authority argues that motorcycles used to commit crimes and are handled by people. That is, those who notify suspected members of organized crime when elements of a police corporation up to a certain demarcation. However, neither the coordinator of the Cabinet of Security in the State, nor the Secretary of Public Security, released statistics on the number of crimes in which they use this type of transport, and that finally led them to reactivate the operatives. Of course, "There are thousands of motorcycles used by criminals to steal, to assault, to transport the stolen material, to flee from authority, to transport drugs, in such a way that there are real bands of motorcyclists that without any control runs through our streets and avenues representing a risk for society, "said Macedonio Tamez Guajardo, coordinator of the Security Cabinet.
This operation implemented by the last administration and in the end, it suspended due to the precautionary measures issued by the State Human Rights Commission (CEDH). We recommend: More than 40 complaints about fuel theft in Tlajomulco Today, he said, "we are not asking" the CEDHJ. Also, he said that the measure does not violate human rights.
Motorcyclists must carry plate numbers in vests or shirts with a size of 30 by 20 cm; they must have 20% anti-reflective material in their clothing; helmet, lights, flashing signals; carry the circulation card and the license. "This measure will not only allow them to be identified with certainty in an instant but at the same time it intends to avoid delinquency and the misuse of these vehicles, a provision that already exists in the current regulations but has been unduly ignored for many years," argued Tamez.
The fine for motorcyclists who fail the measure is between 844 to 2 thousand 534 pesos. Also, the vehicle will be insured in case of not carrying the driving card and the motorcyclist's license. 638 motorcycles confiscated This operation started last week and until just this Wednesday it became official. The Secretary of Public Security of the State of Jalisco, Daniel Velasco Ramírez explained that 638 motorcycles have been confiscated. Forty percent lacked plates and 60 percent of circulation cards.
In that time, road agents raised 2 thousand 921 infractions was the coordinator of Security, Guajardo said that 80 percent of motorcycles have not been claimed by the owners. Hence, it is presumed that they are stolen and used to commit a crime. "Interestingly of the bikes that have been insured for infractions, most have not been picked up by their owners, which speaks that many of them were stolen and used for crime and is in the corralón, the owner of them must submit documentation, pay the fine and you can recover it, but at least 80 percent are still there," he concluded.
