The police have no right to confiscate anyone's cell phone. I would certainly like to know what section of the penal code gives them such authority. Last time I checked we are supposed to be a society of law and order. When since did a police officer moral compass become a substitute for a law. As vile and disgusting as it may be for anyone to want to photograph an accident victim, such act is currently not against any laws on the books. If we allow the police to encroach on our civil liberties, without any pushback, the day will come when we slowly begin that chaotic slide into a police state.

LOL! Nassauboy, you are too funny. I finally figured out your identity. I will call you tomorrow after I finish shoveling out of from under this snow storm.

There is nothing that this government can do with Peter Nygard, despite him being an international disgrace to our country. We must vote these jokers out of office and ship Nygard back to the USA.

Heaven help us, if we condone a policy that encourages the detention of any Bahamian-born resident who is suspected of being an illegal immigrant until they could prove otherwise. Not only is this policy silly, but is a direct contravention of generally accepted international human rights standards. Two months, illegally detained, is too long, even for a third-world country, to determine whether or not a person suspected is an illegal immigrant. We are too willing to give this inept government a pass. It doesn't take very much to have a database available to immigration officers that gives instant verification of the identity of a suspect, and whether or not the papers he has, or claim to have, are authentic.

The story is not about Daphne Campbell. No one cares about her! However, the story is about a man, born in the Bahamas, and illegally detained for a prolonged period of time. All of you government apologists keep avoiding this fact. The story is not about Fred Smith. The story is about a human being, born in the Bahamas, and illegally detained by this government. So he wants to thank Mrs. Campbell for her efforts, and if she is responsible for his eventual freedom, then let her get her thanks. No one deserves to be arrested and illegally detained by any government. If the Bahamas wants to play in the big leagues, it has to abide by the same rules, regulations, conventions, and human rights obligations as the other countries.

LOL!!!! Birdie, you can't be serious!

It seems that when a well-thinking Bahamian addresses the treatment of illegal immigrants with some semblance of maturity, there are those who are quick to attack them as being unpatriotic and anti-Bahamian. Even the good Minister has brought the conversation to the gutters by calling those who disagree with him "fools". Instead of attacking the messengers, can't we have a meaningful dialogue of the treatment of illegals, their rights, and privileges under various treaties and conventions as per the United Nation? Bahamians need to grow up and begin speaking and acting like a First World country, and not let others see the Banana Republic mentality that is so pervasive on these blog pages. We speak of the Haitians, in particular, as if they are not human beings, and because of their illegal entry, deserve to be treated like animals. The discourse must change.

While I am not a fan of Mr. Miller, it seems to me that this Maynard fella is just "blowing smoke......". I'm sure if he had any shred of evidence to support his assertions against the chairman, he would have revealed the same many moons ago. This Union leader is a dangerous individual, with a sense of entitlement, who is giving all union leaders in the country a bad name.

Dis Wells fella don't seem too bright! Or does he just believe that the rest of us are plain stupid?

Just another wasted holiday to shift attention away from the gloomy, dismal record of this worthless government. So long as the people are drunk from partying and celebrating the achievement of nothing, they just might overlook the 10,000 jobs that never came, and the skyrocketing murder rate.
