In sane countries, police can stop you and search if everything looks suspicious, they don't need warrant for that now.

How do they bust guys with guns and drugs over there? Nigerians should chill and allow d police do their job biko

In saner climes they do it appropriately without using force, they don't point an assault rifle like they want to murder you unless in extreme cases.
In Nigeria, we just have mad men parading themselves as police.

Kindly cooperate with them

If they behave right, then we don't need to be dragging anything.
Because while they search the car, one has to be vigilant too so that they don't put something there

You right

Uhmmm

Unfortunately , the guy is right! If you don't want to be search at the checkpoint then you can go ahead to the station for more inspection.

One thing I've learnt about police encounter is that you need to open your eyes and ears, it's not all them that are coming to abuse you or harass you. E.g

I was pulled over at a checkpoint recently, i was driving a fully tinted car that you won't even see anything unless i tap down the windows. This guys are with CIB. I picked up my vehicle paper and tint permit etc from the safe and locked the car because you never can tell what next. When i gave him the papers, he check the tint permit and requested for the original and i told him i rarely go out with that since i have a copy.

He insisted, i explained to him that I've been driving around with this permit for a while now and no issues. He said i shouldn't say that cos police different from police, I was like really?? Issokay. So what's gonna happen now, he told the other guy to take me to the station. I didn't budge because i know say i no dey go any station today. So i con ask am say but why him wan make my day worse, this thing we you dey hold me for na minor thing, he said no it's not minor. Then he dropped this points

He said the government does give tint permit for cars except for SUV's, that i won't be surprised if i see say na another suv dem use prepare my permit. I was like you don't mean it!

He also said how can i tint my car so dark that nobody can see the inside at all, he said for my own safety it is bad. Some trigger happy cops might shoot at the car claiming that we're not able to see the inside.

He even said almost 95% of criminals have dark tint.

he gave me lot of instances, that was when i realized that this guys are giving me advice and it's left for me to take it.

To cut the story short, I told them i really appreciate what they're telling me and I'll be going to get rid of the dark tint and make it more visible to avoid unnecessary attention. Naso dem leave me when they notice say i don get the message.

The moral of the story is that, when you have encounter with the police. try as much as possible not to make the issues escalate, they are reasonable ones among them.

Shoutout to C clear!

Interesting read.

In a case of suspicion the police doesn't need a warrant to search you, and to me stop and search isn't wrong. With the level of crime these days its necessary. So if one has nothing in their cupboard there is nothing to be afraid of. Just cooperate with the police, the calm and collect and avoid all provocations. Some of them are agents sent to take lives.

Putting something that is not there before in the car nko..

Phone search nko, is that allowed?

In other to avoid such, when they're about to search your car, you should come down and watch them search, so you don't hear stories that touch.
