All of those criminal jet-ski operators on PI need to be shut down. It is common knowledge they are there primarily to sell drugs on the beach all day. Just take a look at tourist-centric Facebook groups.
Every day when they wrap up they fly around PI at wide open throttle within a few feet of the beach and the reefs where swimmers are present, without a care in the world. It is a violation of Bahamian law to operate a watercraft that close to shore. The police have had literally decades to place an officer on the beach and record registration numbers as the watercraft pass by, and revoke their license. But of course as with everything else in this country, there is no actual enforcement of any laws.
And yet it is illegal for innocent, productive, law abiding members of society to protect themselves. The govt is forcing us to sit around waiting to be victims without any means of protection for ourselves or our families.
There should be as many taxi plates as people want. There is no limit on the number of grocery stores that can open up. No limit on the number of electricians, no limit on the number of plumbers. Why should taxi drivers get special treatment? Competition is good for everyone.

The Bahamian authorities are idiots, aren't they? (or maybe they received very large cheques from the parties involved to approve it)

Start providing the populous with the same tools all of the criminals seem to be able to use, and this shit would stop real quick.

I'll take that to mean "In which country do they operate like this?"
And to that I'll answer, pretty much anywhere that isn't a banana republic.
