Nosy Tarsee caught a certain legal eagle who made a name for himself rattling the cages of local traffic enforcers. Now he is back in the news, not with another petition, but with a warning wrapped in a concession speech.

Word from officials is that this lawyer, who once won a temporary reprieve for beleaguered motorists against the country’s most-hated traffic camera scheme, has taken to social media to say his piece after the High Court finally settled the matter.

He says he respects the SC decision. He says the fight was not for nothing. And then, in the same breath, he tells the local governments running these camera-and-ticket operations that they’d best not just flip the switch back on as if nothing happened. Revisit it, he says. Amend it. Fix what’s broken before the tickets start flying again. Our tipster tells us the lawyer isn’t stopping at strongly worded posts, either. He’s mobilizing his group of volunteer counsel and paralegals to sit down with the metro’s traffic authority — offering, of all things, free legal literacy for the very drivers who’ll be caught in the next round of violations.

Think seminars on how to contest a ticket before the adjudication board, minus the usual runaround.

But the real tea is in the fine print of his three-point wish list, which insiders say is already circulating among traffic policy wonks:

Take the cameras, the software, and the data out of private hands entirely was the first proposal. Put the whole apparatus under a state agency, whether that’s the land transport regulator or the transport department itself, either building the system outright or handing it over eventually through a build-and-transfer deal, with a flat maintenance fee to keep costs predictable.

No more revenue-sharing arrangements that make citizens wonder who’s really profiting off their bad left turns.

There should be one gatekeeper for motorists’ personal data. Spread that database across too many hands, Nosy Tarsee says the lawyer argues, and you’re just inviting leaks, hacks, and misuse. Consolidate it under the licensing agency and be done with it.

Stop the fines free-for-all. Different cities, different agencies, different price tags for the same infraction has bred nothing but confusion and suspicion. He wants uniform penalties, backed by actual data and study, not whatever number sounded reasonable in a budget meeting.

With the reprieve lifted and local governments already relaunching, insiders whisper he’s positioning himself as the field’s self-appointed watchdog — ready to needle any LGU that reactivates its camera program without so much as a nod to the concerns that got the whole thing dragged to the Supreme Court in the first place.

Consider this Scuttle’s way of saying: Don’t touch that ticket machine just yet, mayors.
