[suffocate69]

Can we please have PNM free thread !

But anyways it is quite obvious the areas in focus of these Hot Spots are black dominated ghettos....aka free PNM votes.

Nevertheless, this curfew will really hit most of POS hard.

I have friends living Cascade and basically it seems they can't lime for the next 3 weeks.

WRT people coming in via the airport, on the radio I heard it mentioned that you can go to certain police posts to apply for a pass if you need to travel within the curfew period. They said one would be set up at the airport so you can either go to a police station and find out about getting the pass or wait for more information to confirm that they will be able to get the pass when they come back in.

im a little lost.
what does this mean for people arriving from the US? would they get trouble coming through customs?

My good friend just canceled his trip. A lot of people are canceling their trips to TT. This is going to cost TT millions of dollars.

crime already costs us millions, we can afford this if it gives us results then the long term benefits will be greater

What you need to know…

· Soldiers will exercise powers enjoyed by police during the period of the Limited State of Emergency:
- Search and seizure powers enhanced because you don’t need a search warrant
- Powers of arrest and detention are included; they will be able to arrest but will hand over detainees to police.

· Police can arrest and detain for up to 24 hours after which a magistrate, or assistant superintendent (or higher), will be able to add an extra 7 days
- No bail for those arrested during the State of Emergency; courts no longer will have the power to grant bail.

· You must comply with all requests by police to stop for search and seizure protocols
- A special 3-person tribunal will be set up by Chief Justice to oversee and adjudicate all possible cases of abuse of power
- Religious services, educational services, entertainments, etc. are exempt from requesting advanced permission from the Police Commissioner

press conference at 12 noon today (11am delayed)

most local radio stations should be broadcasting...

What station?

[Stephon.]

For the party on Friday at st John. People talking about going to the venue at 8 and leaving at 6. These ppl mad yes

[suffocate69]

Looks like the IMAX launch may have to get pushed back.

I really don't see the need for this Limited State of Emergency.

When there was rioting in London they simply brought on more police......honestly, there is more to it than just spate of murders over the weekend.

Trust me, doing this is a drastic step and given the reported situation was not required IMO.

This was called for one for the following reasons:

1. Diversion from the National Strike & Union unrest

2. Threats to Government Ministers

3. Impending Coup

4. Rising Crime and instead of just deploying more Police, they went with the brute force approach.

Take your pick...

[Stephon.]

Even when London rioting, they're more civilized than the animals we have in Trinidad.

This right there. And the police/army can be used to break up gatherings.

Can the late night ched hours be adjusted to suit curfew?

[Stephon.]

But no one cares about them, I highly doubt that theory

I love how the government in power gave these criminals a 4 hour head start of what was going to go down.

Gave their "friends" (for want of a better word) time to protect their assets.

Anyone noticing any mass hysteria/ buying? Just went pricesmart POS and the westerners seem to be buying out the place...only foodstuff from a side. All cashiers backed up to about 8 carts. Hope people doh do the same to gas.

yunno, i wasnt going to comment in this thread eh but i was in the UK during the riots. the main criticism of the police's approach to combating the riots was the fact that THEY TOOK TOO LONG TO TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION. they simply thought that trying to treat the situation as "anti-social behaviour" in the insipient stages would be enough. you know how many MP is the House of Commons were calling for the army to get involved? or at the very least that the Police Superintendent be granted powers to call for water cannons and rubber bullets?

sometimes you have to get infront of a situation rapidly to stop it escalating out of control. you cant just treat the periphery of the effect and hope it goes away. drastic action is called for in the interim. lets get infront of this immediate situation of mass murders and then we can sort out what needs to be done socially, culturally, politically and morally.
