While these men are not allowed to arrest anybody, they are entitled to spy on suspected criminals and other entities that the State believes as dangerous to national security.

Established in 1994, activist groups have long protested against the existence of this police group because they say that this violates our human right to privacy.

To improve this (and to ease the fear), the government will allocate around 1 million dollars to improve road safety. At last.
