Why can't they simply regulate the tinting like in other saner places?
Even in the US of A,you get a ticket in most states(if not all) if it is too dark.
Naija's climate warrants the tint na,to a certain extent.
All those bad boys can get/keep their tints as long as they have their 15k-20k.

Burger01: The senates should define what 'tinted' is and type of tinted vehicle. There are some vehicles with all round tinted and there are some with windscreens, passenger and drivers glasses untinted and which of course the security could see the driver and passenger clearly. Senate should also come out clearly what amount we are expected to pay for tinted permits. Currently I heard the amount is 15k. Is this amount not exorbitant?

This is small compared to #45000

Pyrrho:
Ur comment clearly shows that u don't understand the meaning of corruption.

So whats the meaning of corruption Mr Lecturer?

Was dat a security check waka pass jare.

festcool: 15k that one na big lie,I did mine for 25k in zone 5 in Benin,they said 20k was for the IG and 5k for the paper work.

Chei! Na wa oooo.. If we ask IG now, IG go say it free.. U don't have to pay.

If you must drive a jeep, then get an open Laredo

No windows to tint, wetin dem want talk for check point now?

nairaman66: The police have finally bribed the SENATE!!

whether FRSC or the police, any organisation can get whatever it wants from the NASS so long as the thing can further strangulate the masses. : plate number, driver's licence, BCMR, tinted glass, etc.

Afolabs101: [b]The law is and always has been, the use of factory fitted tinted windows is allowed with a permit

Officially, the idea of the permit is to keep a record of people using tinted windows, so that if you use your tinted window to engage in criminal acts, it should be easier to trace you.

Unofficially, this is the Senate's endorsement or legal backing for what is essentially revenue generator for the NPF.

My advice to you:

1- If your tinted windows are NOT factory fitted, whether you have a licence or not, you are breaking the law! Permits are given for "factory fitted tinted windows" and NOT. Drive with non-factory fitted tints at your own peril. Because even now, a police or FRSC officer can impound your vehicle and prosecute you.

2- If you drive a jeep with factory fitted tinted windows at the rear, go to the nearest NPF Force Headquarters Annexe (in Lagos go to Kam Salem House at Obalende) and get a permit for factory fitted tinted windows. The police say its free but it should cost between N15-20k. If you get a permit from the Local Government or other police stations and you are stopped while driving, it is likely they will hold you.

Thanks bros. I really do not see any reason to worry. For security reason, it is welcome. There is permit for legitimate ones. Go to the Force HQ in your area for yours.

NONESENSE! WHY DIDN'T SENATE PASS A BILL TO STOP CORRUPTION? NA PPLE WEY GET CARS WITH TINTED GLASSES THEY DEY PASS BILL AGAINST. HOW IS THIS MOVE GOING TO TAKE NIGERIA FORWARD?

/
Can you get the tint permit from any Area Command or State Police Headquarters?

Just got into Lagos last night and will need this taken care of as soon as possible.

Any information on this anyone?

Thanks in advance.
