Too many “yeh ppl roadblock by so and so” advisories that are being issued and preventing the TTPS from intercepting the perpetrators. Delinquent citizens now pretend to be compliant only to revert to breaking the law when there is no longer any law enforcement present.
Bear in mind that criminals will also be in the loop thus able to evade the TTPS.
This has been going on for years but we must put a stop to this and let people be held accountable for their actions.
The flashing lights to alert opposing traffic must stop as well. Allyuh cannot be slowing down when u see others flashing lights only to speed back up when clear.
I know that some days we let our guard down and a little heads up is nice....but we must understand the results of our actions.

You cannot compare personal time lost with the potential loss of life that could be caused with some of the firearms recovered from these exercises.As long as you,your passengers and vehicle above board, you should not have a problem with roadblocks.
I know in your job, roadblocks could translate into less income and irate customers, but at the end of the day, you can't anticipate police road blocks.Fair is fair. Besides, a dozen police officers should add up to a whole brain between them, so less chance of TTPS folly.
On the other hand, I wish we had some sort of state appointed auditors that could stop and search police and other government vehicles.I would be interested to know what they find, seeing as they are seemingly exempt from roadblocks.

And they should charge those who also drive down the highway flashing their lights to alert speeding motorists and criminals about police traps.

Hard to prove that's what you're doing. Could always claim you flashing the person in front to merge

Illegal Firearms are obtained how? That's were our Coast Guards need to get up and work.
Just like in the movies there are rogue officers in high positions that are funded by criminal elements here in Trinidad. If you don't believe this you're living under a rock.
These criminals are privy to these roadblocks before the law-abiding citizens.
Since the beginning of this year, I passed through a lot of these roadblocks and yes they are mainly geared to sharing tickets for unroadworthy vehicles.
As for those motorists who flash there lights to warn others, I salute you.
To the officers that risk there lives in removing Criminals from our society (not from roadblocks), I also Salute you.
mad wrote:Hello mad,
Roadblocks do help and are proven to intercept many criminals. Yes, i agree that the TTPS has alot of intel, but how can they intercept a man with no criminal record who chooses to transport illegal firearms/drugs from point A to B? Will the vehicle beep on a radar with our state of the art technology?
Where this person got the firearm from, usually a known criminal with links to the ttps. If this person going and transport drugs/illegal firearm without inside info then he not fit to be in that business anyway.
How many vehicles are not inspected/road worthy and evade roadblocks only to continue to put the lives of others at risk?
I agree there are derelict vehicles on the roads (which should be off the nation roads), but I also believe there are more derelict roads than vehicles. Until we have proper roads throughout the country, then would I support ticketing of minor vehicle offensives.
What about your heroes that flash the speeding driver, who slows down before the radar gun, only to continue speeding and knock down your family member? You gonna salute them over your dead and mangled relative?
