Driver Arrested, Prohibited Weapon, Drugs
A driver was arrested for suspicion of possession of a controlled drug, drug equipment and a prohibited weapon,
A police spokesperson said, “Around 3:00 P.M. on Saturday, August 26th, 2023, police officers were on mobile patrol in the area of Middle Road near the junction with Montpelier Road, Devonshire, when they had cause to stop a motorcar for suspected illegal tint.
“As they engaged the driver of the vehicle, officers detected a strong odour of marijuana coming from the car. This was pointed out to the driver who was informed the vehicle would be searched under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
“The driver initially refused to exit the vehicle, but eventually complied with the officers’ request and the vehicle was searched. During the search, officers seized a quantity of plant-like material, a grinder and a small canister of suspected pepper spray.
“The driver was cautioned and subsequently arrested for suspicion of possession of a controlled drug, possession of drug equipment and a prohibited weapon.”
Illegal tinted car windows and drugs and weapon…………
Naaa! they won’t pull me over!!
Apparently windscreen tint laws are enforced but speed and traffic light and traffic sign laws are not!
I cannot believe the police are still using that old illegal trick on an unsuspecting public. Did thE police have a measuring device to measure the tint? Secondly, even if they smelled cannabis, it did not establish that he had drugs. As for the grader once again that does not establish anything. I find it interesting that police are allowed to have pepper spray and the public of which the police are ‘PUBLIC SERVANTS’ CANNOT.
