Police officers to issue on the spot traffic citations

The Ministry of Interior has instructed officers assigned in the Public Security Department to promptly issue citations for traffic violations in places where erring motorists are asked to stop, instead of making them follow the officers to the police station or accompanying them to the police station.

According to Al-Rai news paper, Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Public Security Affairs Major General Ibrahem Al-Tarah stressed in the circular distributed to the officers that the decision is in line with Procedures Law Number 17/1960 and its amendments.
