A heated exchange ensued between a driver who suffered brake failure while passengers were on board and an MTTD officer who was on duty at the scene. The MTTD officer impounded the vehicle and heavily blamed the driver for failing to properly maintain it after noticing that the brake... pads were worn out. The officer’s comments did not sit well with the driver, who argued that a vehicle is a machine and anything can happen.show more

BODYCAM on the MTTD police will stop all these nkwaseasɛm oo, the abuse of power is outrageous @GhPoliceService

There was absolutely no need for the police officer to argue with the driver. Impound the car, process the driver for court. Simple.

Felt the officer was being harsh until he showed us the “brake pad” and heard the comment made by the driver. Guess the driver isn’t even smart.🤦🏾‍♂️

Despite having brake wear sensors on all of my cars, I check them for myself before embarking on any long trip. Some things can't be explained away by "car deɛ ɛyɛ machine". If he indeed drives in the mountains, that's even more reason why he must check his brakes constantly. The driver is at fault here.

The police is right

The driver is making a fool of himself, how do you change brake pads/bands every four days, he is clearly showing that he does not understands or having knowledge of the vehicle he's operating. The driver in person is a hazard even more than the vehicle. I side with the officer.

The driver is too loud , because the car didnt hit anyone its normal ,sure a bad way of thinking 3y3 machine so you are right

Brake pad is too flat . I was saying this the last time I. How many times do our trotros do maintenance or or even buy spare parts

Only in Ghana you will hear that nonsense. Brake failing all the time.

He doesn’t even have a side mirror

Huh 🤔 but why is the guy shouting ?

The driver is very foolish.he doesn’t know anything

Aban arrest him!!

Adding more frustration to the driver

Why’s the officer arguing with the driver? If you’ll impound, impound na gyai jon no!

The MTTD officer is talking as though if one’s break fails, it’s a criminal offense 😂😂😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Give am 5gh lol he will stop all of that

If truely the break pads are wornout, then it means there is lack of maintenance on the part of the driver. So any accident will be the drivers fault

The driver fool pass. Ghana ankasa law no Dey work. You fit tap inside trotro paaa then you go see say things no Dey job properly for the car inside but yet still Police go take 5 cedis and leave them.

Brake awie sen? Saaa tu fa tari business is actually illegal

Some our police in this country hmmmm

Just check for driving license, insurance and date he had a vehicle check . Simple.

Foolish officer he can't see the broken side mirror

That retarded black chimpanzee in uniform just wants money nothing else 🤦‍♂️😂

Most trotro drivers no dey maintain dema cars.
