“Intelligence gathered revealed that people with dubious character hide behind tinted glasses to perpetrate crime thereby concealing their identity from security operatives and good members of the public.
“Similarly, some motorists are in the habit of covering their Vehicle Number Plates or removing it completely which makes it difficult to trace their identity in event of an accident, traffic violation or further information required by police in curtailing crime.
“It is, therefore, pertinent to note that such acts are against traffic regulations and a breach of public safety.
“Consequently, the Command wishes to notify the general public that, punitive measures will be taken against motorists who contravene the offence of unauthorized use of tinted glasses.
