The Punjab City Traffic Police has reportedly begun an aggressive crackdown on vehicles with bogus number plates.
As per a statement made by the Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Lahore, the authorities will no longer fine drivers or owners of vehicles with tinted windows and fake number plates but will issue FIRs against all such vehicles in the region.

The violations that warrant the FIRs include vehicles with dark window tints, vehicles with bogus number plates, and motorcycles with no number plates.
This decision is aimed at curtailing the increasing number of violations of traffic rules all over Pakistan these days. The authorities are of the view that relaxations on this front will enable violation of the traffic rules.

“Bogus number plate” meaning number plate with fake numbers? Or the stylish customised number plates with original numbers? Because the government has failed to provide the computerised number plates after getting the money for plates from vehicles and motorcycles owners.
What is “bogus” number plate? Number plate showing a fake registration number or the plate not being the computerised one provided by the government?
Also, regarding the black paper? Does this mean that no one will have these papers and police will lodge FIR against the army officers / lawyers / judges / police officers etc for having black papers on their private vehicles without permit? Or is it only for the general public having black paper on their cars?
Another elite capture attempt by our corrupt police.
