Many people have darkened their vehicles’ windows in an attempt to raise the efficiency of their air-conditioning units. Others, however, have done it for more nefarious reasons and, as a result, the National Police has issued a decree outlawing the use of sunscreen paper on the front windscreen of any vehicle, on grounds of dispositions in Law 241. The AMET will be scrutinizing vehicles this week and those that do not conform will be detained. According to AMET director General Sigfrido Fernandez Fadul, the move is intended to put the brakes on delinquents who use the darkened vehicles to evade identification. The general lamented the fact that he was not empowered to remove all of the dark-tinted paper from vehicle windows. He said that he is giving 15 days to remove the paper from the front window. He said that orders could be given later to remove it entirely from vehicles.
