Newsday wrote:AG SENDS FACEBOOK THREAT VIDEO TO GIBBS
By Andre Bagoo Sunday, August 28 2011
ATTORNEY General Anand Ramlogan yesterday referred an internet video, reportedly containing threats to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, to Police Commissioner Dwayne Gibbs.
The video was posted on Ramlogan’s page on Facebook, the social networking site, and features apparent threats to the Prime Minister’s life, as well as obscene language and potentially slanderous statements.
Questioned on the issue at yesterday’s National Security press briefing in Port-of-Spain, Ramlogan said he was not aware whether the Prime Minister had seen the video, but said it was now in the hands of the police.
“It is a matter of grave concern and I have asked that the video be forwarded to the Commissioner of Police,” Ramlogan said.
The video in question, which runs for three minutes and 48 seconds, was posted on YouTube, a video sharing site, and then distributed through Facebook. A copy was eventually posted on Ramlogan’s page after the original video had been deleted by the user, who created it on YouTube.
In the video, a female, said to be a teenager, appears to take on the persona of a grandmother figure. In a mocking, satirical style, she impersonates a grandmother venting frustrations on several issues. In the course of this, several expletives are used repeatedly and the Prime Minister is threatened and accused of certain actions and prejudices in relation to the calling of a state of emergency. “I don’t even know what to begin with,” the female says.
“Because I hear Kamla and she (expletive) and then the Commissioner and dem come out here in the country. I had to make a video. Granny Quila have to put a word in this.”
The video was posted by a YouTube user who reportedly subsequently deleted their account. However, a copy of the video surfaced through other users who re-posted the video, expressing disapproval of it.
“The original maker of this video is (profile name called),” one user who reposted the video explained, “Let her mother be proud. I highly disapprove.” The re-posted video of the user had more than two-thousand views by yesterday afternoon.
One Facebook user yesterday posted a comment on Ramlogan’s page, where a copy of the video was posted.
“What a nasty mouth,” the user said of the video.
“(The person in the video speaking) seems retarded. That’s what they learn from the streets in Trinidad. Trini people like to cuss too much. It’s a dangerous thing.”
Yesterday, the AG noted a trend of videos and messages being posted on Facebook which are potentially in violation of the law.
“There are a number of videos and postings that border on incitement,” he said, noting that the language used in these virtual communications are sometimes “abusive”.
“You do not have a right to incite violence and to use vulgar language in such a manner,” he said.
It is unclear which offence, if any, investigators will focus on in relation to the video. However, Regulation 14 of the Emergency Powers Regulations outlaw statements made “orally or otherwise” to incite.
The regulation reads: “No person shall—(a) endeavour, whether orally or otherwise, to influence public opinion in a manner likely to be prejudicial to public safety and order; or (b) do any act or have any article in his possession with a view to making or facilitating the making of any such endeavour.”
But outside of the state of emergency regulations, there are already provisions on the law-books applicable at all times, regardless of whether there is a state of emergency or not, which deal with incitement. For instance, Sections 3 and 4 of the Sedition Act bans statements which are seditious. Such statements are defined as statements which: “bring into hatred or contempt” or “excite disaffection against government or the Constitution as by law established or the House of Representatives or the Senate or the administration of justice”. Additionally, statements which “raise discontent or disaffection amongst inhabitants of Trinidad and Tobago” or “engender or promote feelings of ill-will or hostility between one or more sections of the community” are banned. The statements are not deemed seditious simply by virtue of pointing out errors of a government and must cross a line. At the same time, Ramlogan also yesterday indicated that the internet may be used by the State to set up a portal through which persons can make anonymous reports on criminal activities. He urged members of the public to take advantage of such a “virtual command centre” when it is established. Currently, persons wishing to report criminal activity may call the following hotlines: 800-0699 or 800-7000.

From what I understand the barbershop thing is up in the air as to what happened. We don't even know what radio station it is.

Admitting that a sore point in the security exercise was the gathering of community-based intelligence, Ramlogan said the Government was thinking of using Facebook to obtain information via virtual command centre. He warned that people submitting false information could be charged with wasting police time and false leads on such a forum could be traced via the IP address
