On the heels of a viral video showing a woman being arrested in a car on Charlotte Street, Port-of-Spain, the T&T Police Service issued a statement outlining several sections of the law governing traffic violations.
The statement issues a warning to people who park in breach of traffic rules and then try to get back into their car when the Police try to have the vehicle towed.
"This practice can result in serious injury to persons; and may amount to the offence of Obstructing a Police Officer whilst in the execution of his duty, according to Section 59 of the Police Service Act 2006 (as amended). Persons found in contravention of the law where this is concerned, are liable, on summary conviction, to a fine of $10,000 and to imprisonment of two years."
