Law enforcement  agents
    especially the police have been  urged to enforce  the law on motor vehicles  prohibition of tinted  glasses and indiscriminate blasting of siren in the state.
A renowned  transporter, Elder Franklin Obu made the call in an interview  with The Tide  in his office in Port Harcourt on Monday.
Obu said the need for law  enforcement agents to take proactive action to curb  the increase in the use  of tinted  car glasses and that of indiscriminate  blasting siren by  some  drivers cannot be over -emphasised with the increasing  number of kidnapping and other criminal activities in recent times.
According to him,  most crucial  acts were facilitated  with tinted  glass cars, stressing that checking the indiscriminate use would drastically reduce  criminal activities especially  in this political era in the state.
The transporter reiterated that the rate at which  all manner of persons use tinted glasses  and siren  is alarming that nobody  knows  who is who as even those not  statutorily authorized use them to perpetrate crimes.
He stated that only those authorized should  be given  that privilege  while those  without permission should be arrested and  prosecuted, no matter  how highly  place in the society.
The worst offenders are the convoy drivers,  pilot drivers and the police themselves  who for no reason blast their sirens to intimidate  and frighten other  road  users while politicians of all categories also use tinted glass cars to avoid  being indentified by their  enemies or electorates, Obu posited, and  further called for stiffer penalties for any offender as to serve as deterrant  to others who are in  that habit.
The motor vehicles (prohibition of tinted glass) Decree No 6 of  1991, laws of the Federation  of Nigeria stated  that, “The Federal Military Government  hereby decrees as follow: iv) Except with the  permission of the  appropriate  authority designated for the purposes of this Decree  and for  such good cause as may be determined  from time to time by the appropriate authority, no person shall cause any glass fitted on a motor  vehicle  to be  tinted, or shaded or coloure  lightly or thickly, darkened or treated  in any other  way, so that the person or object in the motor vehicle  are rendered  obscure or invisible”.
