Police to Assist Drivers in Measuring Window Tinting Transparency

During the establishment and development of the patrol service, it has been repeatedly stated that one of the main objectives of the division is not only to detect administrative violations but also to strengthen the connection between society and the police in fighting violations and to increase trust in law enforcement. Based on this principle, the patrol service will conduct awareness-raising activities in the capital and regions.

Drivers will have the opportunity to check the level of transparency of their vehicle windows with the help of patrol service units. The schedule for these awareness-raising activities is as follows:
