Dominica to remove window tinting from all rental vehicles
In a significant move aimed at enhancing public safety, authorities in Dominica have announced that all window tinting will be removed from rental vehicles across the island.
This decision follows a series of troubling incidents involving firearms, with recent reports revealing that many of the vehicles involved in these incidents were rented.
The country has been grappling with an alarming rise in gun-related crime over the past several months.
Just last week, a violent altercation led to injuries for four individuals, and tragically, one man lost his life during a crossfire incident.
The government is taking proactive measures to address these safety concerns, as the community seeks solutions to restore peace and security.
Removing tint from rental vehicles is seen as a crucial step toward increasing visibility and accountability, particularly in a climate where the use of rental cars in criminal activities has raised significant alarm.
Authorities believe that clearer visibility will help law enforcement identify vehicles involved in illegal activities, while also ensuring the public feels safer.
Removing the tint won’t stop crime entirely, but it’s a good step for better policing.
Crime is getting out of hand, more needs to be done, but every little bit helps.
That only applies to one set. Look and see
This is a tough one. On one hand, safety is paramount, and if this helps deter crime, then it’s a good move. On the other hand, tourists often prefer tinted windows for privacy and sun protection, and this might be a slight deterrent for some.
Just on rentals. That should be on all vehicles.
