BUNCH OF LIES Commissioner!!!! you are hiding the RBDF DIRT...you want to impress someone by upholding the law; go get those sorry officers that are ILLEGALLY brutalizing civilians!!!!! come out and PUBLICLY discipline YOUR OFFICERS who BEAT and KILL detainees!! or even the ones who PUBLICLY display active case files with brutally gruesome images; (Nellie Brown!!!).oh you silent on that one! ..*SLICK*
you wont be bold about that cuz you are probably just as corrupt as them!! you *half-stepping job well done leader*.......you Bahamian morons who call yourselves men who *protect and serve* , yet take advantage of your positions are sad!!!!! ...
come here to America and get real training in effective interrogation! ..and Bahamians wonder why the crime rate keeps sky-rocketing and so many criminals walking the streets!

There are so many terrifying implications to this story. If I am reading it correctly, people may now be arrested simply for giving an online opinion. If someone gives a deserving bad review that hurts a business, will that owner now be able to press charges? Will a journalist fear publishing now? The Bahamas is fast becoming a police state. Citizens and visitors alike should truly fear this policy.

when will the police who posted pictures of Nellie be bought to justice.this COP is
such a phony

Sad, sad pathetic man...might will NEVER make right

DEFINITION: Gross indecency is actual, physical, sexual activity in a public place or while visible from either a public place or occupied premises. A person, who wilfully (on purpose) does a grossly indecent act, whether alone or with another person, is guilty of an offence. (Australia)

Malicious Communications Act. says that someone who sends another person material which is grossly offensive or indecent and is sent in order to cause the recipient distress or anxiety is guilty of an offence. The offence can apply to letters, email and other forms of communication.

I doubt anyone disagrees with police preventing gross indecency as you define it. Online bullying has become so prevalent in this society that it's nearly impossible to fight. But the commissioner also stated, "If you post on Facebook or any other social media anything that is contrary to law, that is obscene or indecent, and it infringes upon the rights of any other citizen...”

That certainly seems vague enough to allow for loose interpretations to fit any negative comments. Bloggers, reviewers, and journalists beware!

I agree. We are living in a police state. Big Brother is watching our every move.

This is a sad state of affairs for the Banana Republic -- er Bahamaland when the police can arrest someone for free speech.

In law, public decency trumps free speech

SLOW DOWN,

It is plain to see that the comish was told 'go get Moncur and lock him up for a few hours'. Then when Moncur was relieased with no charges the same (probably PLP MP) said 'go lock him up and press charges'.

That is probably what went down.

Tread softly Commish, if you're talk'in about using prosecutorial remedies against those adults who publish photos and statements, that do not aid in the sexual exploitation of minors. Do we really want our policeman's running around as some morality squad? Some matters are best left to civil remedies. 

Commish I know you try hard, but first you need to be dispatching your policeman's to crackdown on the over a dozen numbers rackets joints, before we start peeping into the social networks bedroom windows of we citizens. Do you remember the results of that Vote on them trying to legalize the numbers rackets? Good!

But it is ok for the numbers houses to continue . Shame Shame

they are not even going to risk having us vote on oil / they are already plaining to drill...

Wait wait , so it is an offence to use the WWW , internet to post things that are clearly questionable subjectively or objectively , but the law seems definitive in the ability to arrest and prosecute for this alleged offence over the INTERNET yet using the INTERNET to BUY NUMBERS ONLINE IN THE BAHAMAS , for some unknown reason the police cant arrest and close down what is clearly ILEGAL because its being done over the INTERNET and they have said for YEARS THAT MAKES IT A GREY AREA.

Man let me go laugh and lay down , THE BAHAMAS IS THE NEW HAITI

the next time you walk on Bay Street remember to button your shirt all the way to the top and no sagging pants else you will be arrested for comitting a grossly indecent act...

This story was re-posted on other sites and has gone viral, giving the Bahamas a huge black eye. The police have obviously arrested him to squelch rumors of the police causing deaths in custody.

If I can remember quite vividly, when the pictures of the late Nellie Brown was exposed on the internet by a police officer, Greenslade said with his own mouth, that he will find out which of his officer did that and he would work swiftly to have them prosecuted, he have yet to do it...everything just went under the mat. It's so sad that this is what our bahamalands has come too....the people who are suppose to protect us, we now fear because if you are arrested...you're in fear for your life. and its all because the officers are too dumb to really fight crime and find the real culprits so the 1st person they can find in close proximity to an incident, they just beat and make them admit to stuff they didn't do. Also it seems as if Mr. Greenslade has no control of his out of order officers, are you Mr. C.o.p afraid to deal with them to the fullest extent because you're just like them or they have something on you that you don't want them to talk. When you first took ova the force, I was impress of you and all that you were doing but now things just aint looking rite..too many persons are dying by the hands of officers while in custody and nothing coming out of it.

Chapter.5:18-31 Daniel reads Belshazzar's doom. He had not taken warning by the judgments upon Nebuchadnezzar. And he had insulted God. Daniel 5 v 25- "This is the message that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN.Daniel 5v 26 - Here is what these words mean: Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. Daniel 5 v 27 - Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

If Commissioner insists on censoring our behavior on the Internet, then HE should be censured. We are FREE people.

Rodney Moncur might offend many of our sensibilities and his Statements might be clouded by his messaging, but he darn well represents a lot of our sentiments on society, corruption, crime and politics. This is how you start a movement. The most unlikely among us becomes the symbol of injustice. FREEDOM!
