Brent Thomas part 2, in theaters this summer. This time we go international.

[redmanjp]

But wdf. This not going to make we look good internationally. Arresting foreign journalists/youtubers?

[sMASH]

If he a Canadian citizen, then their authorities must be informed and abetting the ttps.


... If not... Lol.

[alfa]

If it is true then the irony is that this man went into the toughest neighborhood in Trinidad and emerged unscathed only to get arrested by the 'good guys' lol

[trintee]

funny thing is he could have honestly been working with the police the whole time. Now playing the arrest thing as a cover to relay the information to them.

I want to doubt that trinidad police so dotish to just arrest a foreigner who has so many eyes on them jusso jusso

[Mmoney607]

Yeah multiple people are saying he was arrested and his gear confiscated

CHRIS MUST LIST IN POLICE CUSTODY

CANADIAN blogger and YouTuber Chris Must was arrested by police officers of the Special Investigations Unit(SIU) on Tuesday morning and is facing possible charges under the Anti-Gang Act and Immigration Act.

Senior law enforcement sources told The Express that just after 6 a.m., Must was taken into custody by officers at a Flag Staff, Long Circular home and questioned regarding several YouTube videos featuring interviews with different gang members from Tunapuna, Morvant, La Horquetta, Belmont, and Sea Lots.

Must, The Express understands had visited the Canadian Embassy on Monday seeking assistance and was told to contact attorney Criston Williams for advice.

"We had to pick him up based on these videos brandishing firearms under the Anti-Gang Act," a senior intelligence source said.

Referring to several YouTube videos posted by Must over the last few weeks about Trinidadian gangs the senior source explained, "In this context what he did wrong was that he was filming different gangs who were sending subliminal threats to other gangs in those videos. He was technically promoting the gang and their ability to show their firepower to the other side. He provided a platform to do that and allowed this material to be distributed without even putting a disclaimer on the material and be responsible," explained the senior intelligence source.

Under the Anti-Gang Act Section 8 states: A person who knowingly— (a) counsels; (b) gives instruction or guidance to; (c) finances in any manner; or (d) otherwise provides support to, Counselling a gang, a gang leader, gang member or gang in furtherance of its participation in, involvement in or commission of a gang-related activity commits an offence and is liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for twenty-five years."

Another senior police source indicated that the SIU "had downloaded and analysed" these videos over the last few weeks before deciding to arrest Must under the Anti-Gang and Immigration Act.

"Persons are brandishing firearms and claiming to be gang members in these videos and are saying they will kill this one and that one," said the senior source.

They identified that under Section 5.1 (d) a person who professes to be a gang leader or a gang member in order to— (i) gain a benefit for himself or another person; (ii) intimidate other persons; or (iii) promote a gang, commits an offence.

According to senior police sources, they also discovered that men claiming to be members of gangs who were State witnesses under protective custody in criminal cases appeared in some of the recordings that Chris Must, also known as Chris Must List, streamed.

"We know that some of these men had been in protective custody and had given evidence in matters so it was shocking to see them in these videos saying they belong to this gang or the next," said the police source.

Intelligence sources confirmed that Must's interview with officers of the SIU will continue today and are expected at some point to confer with the DPP Roger Gaspard on the possible charges. Must was questioned for several hours on Tuesday.

Must police indicated is also expected to be charged with breach of offences under the Immigration Act. They indicated that Must entered the country as a tourist for vacation rather than for work activities.

One of Must's attorneys CJ Williams was contacted last night and he told the Trinidad Express, "When we went to the police station they told us he was not under arrest but he could not leave," explained Williams.

Williams said a police officer who spoke to him said they could not guarantee Must's release today.

[maj. tom]

Why they eh pick up the other people in the videos who was brandishing firearms? And protective custody eh? What that mean, the State financing these (now exposed by a journalist) gang members to hide out?

Not an unexpected move from the TTPS big brains anyway.

[pugboy]

[Les Bain]

Hold up.

Ent the bloggers said that Anti Gang legislation is what is needed to stop crime and gang violence?

So if CML could be arrested under existing Anti-Gang legislation, why couldn't the powers-that-be also arrest the peaceful gentlemen in the video who were brandishing firearms and stating allegiance to certain gangs?

Youtuber CML essentially showed to the truth to the Trinidad populace, and viewers all ova d worl:
- Where the major gangs are located in Tdad.
- Who the members are, or might be.
- Who the gangs are warring with.
- How well equipped the gangs are.
- "Activities" they are involved in.
- The fact that this information is readily available, but it appears nothing has been done about it.

Seems like some folks got upset. Arresting him and not the gang members just makes the situation worse though. I don't think they thought this through.

How long before CML is "encouraged" to take down his videos?

Obviously.

[pugboy]

maybe you hit the nail on the head
maybe these gangs supposed to exist and eat as well
whilst the authorities treat them with a semi blind eye until they act up too much

i mean everybody knows where they selling drugs yet crackdowns on blocks are far and few

[16 cycles]

he issa idiot or pretty ignorant of the FuL laws to be pictured brandishing a firearm.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

"We had to pick him up based on these videos brandishing firearms under the Anti-Gang Act," a senior intelligence source said.

[Mmoney607]

[16 cycles]

lol - i made this mistake - good luck trying to convince the TTPS - one less charge - it helps

[mero]

So we vex or we not vex he in custody?

Don't see nun wrong. Youtubers and Influencers get arrested/held for questioning all the time.

Sure there's plenty unedited and raw footage and contacts which could be used.

Or maybe the higher ups in the organized crime world using ttps to make sure nobody name eh call

[gastly369]
