Looks like they tightening up on the law, but what's £30 to this lot!

Five Manchester City stars have been fined by police who spotted their vehicles' tinted windows were too dark as they arrived at training.
Shay Given, Kolo Toure, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Patrick Vieira and Stephen Ireland were all given £30 fixed penalty notices on Wednesday.
They were caught out by police and the Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA) at the Carrington complex car park.
Each player was told to wind down the offending window until it was fixed.
But it is believed club officials arranged for a company to come and correct the tints during training.

The cars were stopped and found to have illegally tinted windows
Greater Manchester Police spokesman
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the fines were handed out on Wednesday morning.
"An officer from GMP's Road Policing Unit, working with representatives from VOSA, stopped a number of cars on Carrington Lane, Trafford," a spokesman said.
"The cars were stopped and found to have illegally tinted windows.
"The drivers were issued with fixed penalty notices and prohibition notices."
A variety of companies can tint windows of vehicles to add privacy for the owner.
By law, front driver and passenger windows must allow 70% of light through and the windscreen 75%.
 
A Greater Manchester Police spokesman was later heard saying...

" Was that OK Sir Alex?"

:bannana::bannana::bannana:
 
Probably had dark tints fitted to hide their embarassment at getting beat twice this season by Man U !
 
Deport them......unless their from the Eu or have an amnesty ...:eek:
