Oh I have no doubt in my mind this is all fabricated stuff to punish the guy for being outspoken about trying to get the staff PAID...even we stupid Bahamians can read the writing on THAT wall!!

Question for those more in the know out there...is it absolutely necessary to cuff everyone? i'm pretty certain that the Inspector would have provided no resistance and would have followed any instructions given him by his colleagues without harming a fly...but again...maybe I am wrong, maybe he could snap under the pressure of being booked and go postal on people...just curious as to whether it is indeed mandatory to cuff someone.

Ha...glossed over that...hall...rotfl...see that's what happens when you force out the educated foreigners and hire local help...LOL

So the PM was meant to hold this meeting on Tuesday wasn't it...to do the T's and cross the i's... ;-) ...and he would immediately bring the news to the house of assembly...funny...no word on the meeting, and they shut down the house for a couple weeks due to more pressing matters...I smell a rat.

Someone stated previously, all this data is collected to some extent with the Census. Done by a trained and specialized team of people with specific qualifications who know how to handle the acquired data with the sensitivity that privacy that goes along with that...the UR team gonna gossip all that around town and probably scope out your house and let the local thugs know which house to hit next!!

Anything that alters your mind in such a way that you may not have committed a crime if you were not in that state of mind of intoxication, drugs alcohol, whatever. All joking aside...and the above comments are no real joke, I think it all stems from the concept of premeditated murder and manslaughter, for the murder conviction to stick, you need to have been of clear mind and planned the murder...the catch was someone was convicted of murder and was highly intoxicated...in appeals it got overturned as he should not have been charged with murder, but should have been charged with manslaughter, or second degree manslaughter, some lesser charge. That case is now in the law books...I'm no lawyer so I may not be 100% in my terminology here, but I think you get the gist of what I am trying to describe.

Far too logical...what on earth are you thinking!! That is profiling and preferential...who says he wasn't going to go run in the bushes and hide...*sigh*

There is case law already out there to use this as a defense...essentially, all laws are null and void if you are drunk...you cannot be held responsible for your actions. Word to the wise...keep a shorty with you at all times...when you do something stupid, take a quick swig before the police arrive and claim drunkenness.

Oh yes...I forgot that little gem!! If you are drunk, you are not legally responsible for your actions in this country...FACT.
Where's my rum...need to go on a killing spree!! Better yet...let me get drunk, and drive and speed and run red lights...I am not bound to any law as I am not responsible for my actions while intoxicated.

The Swiss are very conservative and for the most part try to avoid the spotlight. I am betting he is just jumping out of his skin seeing his name and picture dragged through the newspapers. Probably horrified!!
