The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (AMET) has just announced the delivery of 300 hi-tech communication phones that will allow their officers to check on licenses and registrations. The officers who will be assigned this gear have been undergoing training at the ITLA technology park in Boca Chica. Experts from Spain are due to arrive this week to begin the installation of the radios needed to make things work. The newspaper also reported that AMET traffic cops issued 85,000 summonses during August, up 20% from July. Most infractions were for not having an up-to-date inspection sticker. These were followed for obstructing traffic at intersections. AMET chief Jose Sigfrido Fernandez Fadul reminded drivers that if a summons is not responded to in a timely fashion, no other documents such as passports or "cedulas" can be renewed. The general pointed out that nearly 10,000 infractions were for drivers running red lights.
