¿Qué significa el aviso 'no PDA' que llevan algunos carros y motos en Colombia?

TL;DR

  • Vehicles in Colombia are displaying 'No PDA' signs.
  • PDA refers to the police's Digital Assistant system for checking vehicle and personal records.
  • The sticker is used on vehicles whose past legal issues have been resolved but may still appear as reported in police databases.
  • This can lead to vehicles being erroneously immobilized.
  • The 'No PDA' sign is an informal warning to police to avoid checking these vehicles.
  • The use of the sign is controversial as it is not officially regulated and does not exempt vehicles from police checks.
