The Supreme Court dismisses consolidated legal challenges to the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) used by several Metro Manila local government units. Multiple outlets report that the Court’s decision dismisses petitions questioning the legality of the program’s use of digital cameras on major roads to record suspected traffic violations. One report says the Supreme Court issues its ruling in a June 3, 2026 decision authored by Associate Justice Rodil N. Zalameda and later made public, describing the cases as moot due to subsequent regulatory developments. The Court cites the implementation of a unified traffic code across Metro Manila as a key reason the original disputes no longer require judicial resolution. Another report adds that the Court lifts an earlier temporary restraining order and dismisses three consolidated petitions covering NCAP use in five cities, a development that could allow the policy’s blanket implementation to proceed. Overall, the reported outcome is a dismissal on grounds of mootness linked to changes in traffic regulation, rather than a decision overturning NCAP on its merits.
