CHECKPOINT
According to the definition of the PNP, a checkpoint is “a place where the military or police check vehicular or pedestrian traffic in order to enforce circulation control measures and other laws, orders, and regulations which involves only a brief detention of travelers during which the vehicle’s occupants are required to answer a brief question or two.”
There are two possible kinds of checkpoints that you may encounter while on the road. The first is a regular checkpoint which is well lit with signage all over the place and with barriers set up in order to properly facilitate traffic through. Think of it like a toll booth on a highway. The second is a hastily-setup checkpoint. This is set up to block the escape of lawless elements from a crime scene and is also established when nearby checkpoints are ignored or during hot pursuit operations. It is set up by the police personnel conducting mobile patrol on board a marked police vehicle, or those conducting ISO and foot patrol operations within the vicinity/periphery of the national or provincial highways.
This will typically consist of a team leader, spotter, spokesperson, investigation sub-team, search/ arresting sub-team, security sub-team, and blocking/pursuing sub-team. This kind of checkpoint will also come with A collapsible signage with markings: “Stop, Police Checkpoint”, indicating also the name of the concerned police office/unit conducting the operations.
