Police to arrest motorists over tinted glass, unlicensed driving and other offences

Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Alexander Kwaku Obeng has warned motorists that they risk arrest, vehicle impoundment and prosecution for traffic offences not currently covered by the automated TraffiTech-GH system.

The Director of Education, Research and Training at the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) said the introduction of digital traffic enforcement would not bring an end to physical police operations against other road traffic violations.

ACP Obeng explained that the automated cameras currently detect speeding, while officers continue to handle other offences through roadside enforcement.

He disclosed that the police had intensified physical operations this year against vehicles fitted with illegally retrofitted sirens.

“This year we have been deploying stringently, physically, sometimes turning ourselves into mechanics in removing what do you call, the sirens that are illegally retrofitted into vehicles that are not exempted,” he said on TV3’s Hot Issues with Keminni Amanor.

According to him, the police had impounded thousands of such vehicles and sent several offenders to court.

ACP Obeng listed other offences attracting manual enforcement, including the use of vehicles with unauthorised tinted glass, unlawful parking, driving without a licence, riding motorcycles without helmets and using unregistered number plates.

He said officers in all 25 police regions had been sensitised to intensify enforcement, particularly during the Christmas period.

“But if you commit, please, manually, you will be arrested and your vehicle will be impounded,” he warned.

He added that offenders could also be taken to court for summary trials after being processed by the police.

“We will impound the car if they need be. We will arrest you if they need be and take you to police to process you and we will all have a date with the judge for summary trial,” he stated.
