    Total waste of time and resources. The laws are clear, why are they police afraid to apply the laws. We have as many as 276 MPs making laws, if we can't apply the laws, then what is the point making them? If you warn or give ...

    There is a law against this, which everybody knows. You have been conducting this exercise over and over. The Police Service also needs money to function well. Why are you still giving warnings instead of imposing heavy fines ...

    Well done Ghana Police!!! We support you for carrying out this exercise. Those arrested should be prosecuted and fined or even jailed for violating the law.

    What is 300-600 Cedis fine for someone driving V8 car? They should pay thousands of Cedis or face a jail sentence.

    Two-thirds of those vehicles will go scot-free after their owners have settled the Police. In case you doubt what I said, check from the owners and at the MTTDs

  • the Villager 1 week ago

    The laws are clear on who can use sirens. Seizure is NOT the answer, SEIZURE AND HEAVY FINES INCLUDING IMPRISONMENT will curb this abuse.

    Good job Ghana Police.

  • OSAFO KANTANKA 1 week ago

    Have all the owners of the seized cars arrested and charged accordingly. Heavy penalties of fines and possibly custodial sentences to be slapped on the persistent offenders. Ghana is gradually degenerating into a country of L ...

    We must blame the police for failing to enforce the law. They have known about this problem for years and I wonder why they would not enforce the law.

    Good job! Please add motorbike checks. Some have "blinding flashing" lights that put other road users, both pedestrians and motorists at risk.

    Talking about noise pollution. I think religious groups are most offensive. They mount loud speakers in close residential areas making it hard for residents to even take a nap in the afternoon.. The moslems starts from 4am an ...

    The police are to be blamed for this. For years they have looked on unconcerned so why now? Should it be the politician who should enforce this? Shame on you, Ghana Police.

    Can the police also direct their attention to the most "tro-tro vehicles without tail lights and smoking engine vehicles on the roads and streets of the country especially tro-tro vehicles in Accra?
