I THINK THE POLICE CAN DO MORE.
I WAS IN A TAXI WITH A FOREIGNER AN EUROPEAN I GUESS.
AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OUR VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN IT WAS RED. THEN AN UNREGISTERED MOTOR BIKE WITH 2 OCCUPANTS WITH HELMETS RODE THRO THE RED LIGHT. MEANWHILE THERE WERE 3 POLICEMEN AT THE INTERSECTION WHO DID NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. THIS FOREIGNER NEARLY COLLAPSED.OVER TO YOU GHANA POLICE SERVICE.

Does the Police have the power to ban DV/DP Plates anywhere in the country?

In a parliamentary democracy, the police are to enforce laws but not to make laws. Moreover, we are not practicing a Federal System of government so Ashanti Region cannot ban something like that. What of if Police in other regions start banning things left and right?

The weak n vulnerable will continue to suffer. I was in court in 2015 when a gentleman who had been brought in by the police to Answer questions on using dv plates on Saturday stood up to them telling the judge that he had broken no law and that the police should tell the court which law prohibits the usage of dv plates on Saturday mornings. Tried as the police did they could not because the law is specific on the prohibitions and they are clear. They cannot be used beyond 7pm and all that. Must not be used for funerals n parties. And a host of others.

The DV and DP plates are always paid for so it's stupid on the part of Ashanti regional police command to ban it.

U have no power. Not even the slightest bit. It's just because of the uniform. Very stupid of you to make such a statement. Fool...!

Eeeebei, Mr police commander, you are overstepping your boundaries. Are you saying people who have legitimately purchase a dv number plate can not use in Kumasi? Have you actually pass out from police training ? Please don't bring this in connivances to some law abiding citizen. Is this police man saying if clear your car at the port it should be registered at Tema port? Or he wants the car owner to tow or carry it. Your law can't be find in our status

Can people drive the car with DV plates ( defective vehicle) day and night with wife and family aboard . No they can not, but they do. After one year when the suspension and steering is shot they sell them as a newly imported vehicle . I pray they bring the same regulation to Accra.

I wonder why our leaders always engage in making lazy and shallow decisions. instead of finding a long lasting solutions to our problems, they instead go for the options that can allow them extort the general public. This decision on DV/DP are just licence for polices to take big bribes.If we refuse to think... we will remain where we are.

Most of these DV/DP no. Plates have expired but the Police most often overlook them. Moreover there are regulations guiding their use on the road. If your no. plate is valid, it means you have authorisation to use it within the confines of the law. This I believe is what the Police are burnt on enforcing.
