What powers do the LTA enforcement officers and authorised officers have?
LTA Enforcement and Authorised officers have wide ranging authority, much like the police, except for the powers to arrest a person. They have the power to inspect any vehicle on any road, public or otherwise, or to enter any property, without a warrant to inspect a motor vehicle on the property if it believes that the vehicle was either used in the course of a crime, or was driven when the registration (wheeltax) had lapsed. They also have the power to cause that vehicle to towed to any LTA premises and be impounded. They also have the authority to stop a vehicle on the road and demand passengers to alight, or stop the vehicle to carry out an inspection on the vehicle.
