Car Talk › Police: Medical Report Is Compulsory For Tinted Cars In Nigeria. Is This True? by Contango(op): 7:16pm On Nov 20, 2022*

Today, Sunday 20/11/2022, My friend was driving along Benin-Ore road to Benin from Lagos where a police man detained him for quite some time for having his car glasses tinted.

He recalled, that TheGuardian on the 20th of March 2022 had published that the police were only to demand for Vehicle License, Driver’s License and Certificates of Insurance and that drivers should report officer crossing the line. There was no mention of medical report or tinted permit for those whose cars were tinted as part of the documents that should be presented to officers on patrol.

He tried to argue his case that the car was bought January this year (2022) after the ban on tinted cars was lifted and he didn’t see the need to remove the ones that were on the vehicle when he purchased it.

The Police officer threatened to destroy the tint saying that the lift on the ban was for vehicles whose tint were factory fitted and not otherwise, and that they were ordered to destroy any tint on cars that were not factory fitted except on medical grounds.

Based on this new claim, We are now confused on the issue of tinted vehicle glasses and We’d like the Nigerian Police to make an unambiguous clarification of this issue again. Is it a crime to redress our vehicle glasses with cellophane vehicle tint?

If it is, then I think the issue should be re-addressed again. If not, then this has been a Clear case of harassment by this officer either on purpose or by his poor understanding of his job description and therefore appropriate measures would need to be taken to prevent such from re-occurring again in future.

My friend was able to record the event with a secret camera planted on his face cap. I’ll suggest that Nigerians invest in high quality spy cameras.

Attached is a link to the video and the photo of the officer.

Lol..
Hope you know even PSG don't need Pessi for anything?? He better return to Barca

But atleast Pessi is not dragging the team backwards like Penaldo na…PSG is currently the only club that has not lost any game throughout the season, same as Argentina and Messi plays in both. Will you say it is a coincidence? A record I doubt PSG has had before now. cheesy

But Man U conspicuously loses any time Pendu plays and whenever he doesn’t play, Man U wins.

ThinkSmarter:
I have noticed that people do disrespect the Nigerian Police and it hurts their ego and affects their morale.
These actions have triggered the police to become more aggressive to prove that they are not weaklings as they are being portrayed.
Most Nigerians with cars look down on the police.
The people that appear to respect police a bit are mini bus drivers[ transporters]
Most Nigerians doesn't like to stop when flagged by the police.
We should learn to respect and cooperate with police at Check points.
If the police decide to stop accepting bribe, most Nigerians will be indicted.
Police only accept bribes from guilty people.
Having said that, I condemn the killing in strong terms, except the boy was armed and the police was under threat.

A very interesting perspective. I actually concur. However, a few fundamentally wicked police officers do exist. cheesy

I am not a dancer, but a huge fan of Michael Jackson. My favorite choreography has always been the dangerous dance and I had vowed to do it before I die!!!

Definitely far from MJ and other professional imitators but I am happy I was able to whip something up.

Show some love guys cheesy

Video quality not good though

I vow to do smooth criminal if I get some encouragement tongue
