Police seize vehicles in window tinit clamp down

Just a warning for you all, our local paper stated last night that there had been an operation last week by traffic police that seized 15 vehicles because they had tinted glass on the fornt windows. It said - Each county will have their own time scale to carry this out as there is now a zero tolerance on front windows. It also stated that they would even have the power to seize the vehicles off garage forecourts if they were spotted for sale with darkened front windows. Its a good job they are not too busy with real crime. Whistle Whistle You don't stop playing because you get old, You get old because you stop playing.

well its strange you say that because the dealer told me one of their customers had to do just that in front of the officer that stopped him. Shocked Shocked You don't stop playing because you get old, You get old because you stop playing.

How can the police seize cars from private property - who's to say these cars are to be driven on the road? This country is becoming a police state! NO CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED! And they wonder why the public's support for the police is slipping. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

Haven't these excessive tints been illegal for some time Question I know when I spoke to Pentagon last year they warned me about the repercussions of doing it. So I didn't.

If you've got midnight tints on the front what are you hiding Question .....disqualified driver and no insurance, drug dealer, gun. Not to mention how the hell can you see whats coming particularly in the dark.

IMHO It's about time the police did something about it. That's what laws are for, to be enforced. Thumbs Up TDV6 - gone

Josh I have no problem re the police with people who break the law and if you drive a car with illegal tints you deserve what you get. What I object to is the police entering private property to seize cars that would be illegal on a public road but are not illegal on private property. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

While I agree that people who break the law don't have a leg to stand on I really don't think the police are encouraging a respectful attitude from the general public when they focus their supposedly lacking resources at something like this... I have no axe to grind with the police personally, they have a very hard job to do (which i certainly wouldn't want to do) and for the most part do it very well.

Have you considered that some Journalist has yet again got the facts wrong when the story was written in the paper. Now that wouldn't be a first would it Exclamation

I should think the only way the police could enter private property to seize evidence would be with a Magistrates warrant.

So whatever you're hiding at home VA should be safe Rolling with laughter TDV6 - gone
