She said, “Information reaching me from the office of the PRO is that the order has been received and the enforcement of the tinted permit is now on hold pending the court’s verdict,
“We are waiting for the verdict. We are not against the courts, and we will continue to wait until we get a verdict.”
She stressed that the Force did not make the law which which tinted glass permit mandatory, adding that they are just enforcing what the law says, she dismissed suggestions that police are using the matter to extort money from the public, noting that whatever is made from enforcement is paid directly into the coffer of the federal government.
