They are supposed to lock you up until they can prove you can legally be here before they let you go. You think they are just going to let him go and then go to the company to be faced with some 'run around'. Let the company come and get him if he is such a major asset or if its so serious that he is absent. He should be a responsible legal alien and carry his permit/ID's etc. Come on man, common sense, Ine need no law to tell me that. Yall are the same types of Bahamians who say "Man ine carrying no ID, cuz the police dont ask for them" and then when the Police do ask, you are in a jam, because ya too lazy and irresponsible.

They didnt call/categorize 'Trinidad' as a 'police state' when they enforced their 11pm curfew. That curfew was going on for approx. 2 years or so. The crimes down there are much more horrendous and on a larger scale than we are. Anyone who was caught violating the curfew went to jail.

I really dont understand why carrying an ID is such a big deal. I would encourage Bahamians to carry it everywhere and in any country. Simply being lazy and not wanting to carry a little plastic card that could fit with the rest of your bank cards in your wallets/coin pouches is puzzling to me. For foreigners: You should expect to carry valid ID/Passport/Permits (you are a foreigner that is the only way to prove you can be here) incase they stop and ask. The thing is Bahamians ask for justice, yet are not responsible enough to save their own a$$e$. They did say that they would be doing this, you think if they said 'when' that they would catch anybody. You call yourself thinker, yet you dont really 'think'.

JohnDoes says...

Um those kinds of things you dont know until you are actually apart of the company. You think a company is going to tell their employees all the dirt that is going on especially within the higher positions before they hire you? These things you tend find out after you start working Mr Critical Thinker. What could I have done about that person, Didnt I say I went to labor board about it? Immigration is say 'yea we ga check' but they never do. Im sure now he probably has his papers.

There arent any meetings. This is a lie. The Bahamas will continue to keep its 49%. How can you offer a well known company 51% and then some time later when they already have all of their infrastructure in place, try to take back the majority? People please dont be gullable, the PM is trying to make it seem as if he his doing something productive when he really isnt.

This needs to happen. There are so many qualified yet undocumented Foreigners that are here controlling big time businesses. I was a victim to this myself, in a case where I was actually terminated from a job by someone who didnt even have his residency and work permits approved. The company used to send this man back to his home town every 5 or 6 months so that his 'legal stay' can be renewed as a visiting person. I went to the Labour Board about this and they told me that they couldnt do anything about it because of the fact that I was not working at the company for more than a year. These foreigners are playing the loop hole game with this country. These Politicians make many vain promises without proper execution, then they wonder why the country is being raped of its resources etc.

The problem with a marital-rape law is that many 'spiteful' women can resort to this as a means to imprison or get rid of their husbands for what ever personal reasons. It is really hard to justify marital rape.

Arming Security Guards will only prove disastrous. There will have to be proper training of how to carry, and when to use. All of that will also cost companies extra money in securing firearms, proper storage, and managing who has a gun, how many bullets etc. Then the 'professional' security guards will really show out whilst the ones who are just in for a pay check will probably be weeded out thus reducing the amount security guards, in turn allowing more regulations and standards for the Security position which is a lot of what most of these security officers 'dont' have. The best bet is to just become police officers. Security guards and companies dont have enough collateral to deal with the possible mistakes by these persons. Its too much of a collateral affect of arming security officers and citizens. Not everyone is responsible enough to conduct themselves let along carry a gun also. These security companies are only good for observing and reporting to police, that is it. Arming securities will of course produce more problems.

Well I hope you all heard the news from the horses mouth that as long as the Privy Council exists, it is highly unlikely that the 'Death Penalty' will be sought. So the question is, Who is really in charge? I know Barbados and the latter also adhere to the Privy Council but at the same time, they are still carrying out the Death Penalty. Hell with the European Union, they have their barriers on crime but what does that have to do with us? Is this government taking 'governance' seriously? This is a prime example of the Government's focus and infatuation with Kleptocracy. This is a Kleptocracy, not a democracy, that is just for 'show'. Our criminals are using old brazen tactics and beat our system every time. I know that the man they charged out of the 60 people held for the Fox Hill massacre (for example), is probably telling the truth. The suspect has given substantial evidence that is alleged to not have placed him on the scene, video surveillance and all yet he is remanded until March for a trial. This is not due process, this is corruption to promote false confession in order to produce a so called 'speedy process'. We the people are not free. I advise everyone to start saving, not for VAT, but to get the hell out of here. The government is not focused on the people, they are more concerned with hiding the atrocities of a failed plan, mainly because of their Pride and now the Privy Council has them by the noose. I rather the Queen of England address us than Mr Oblivious Christie because it seems as if, he dont even care, or too old to possess the mental capacity that the boy who cries 'wolf' will not be taken seriously until it is too late. This whole scenario and many more is why Bahamians dont respect the law, and do as they please. The government is too busy asking others for advice, but how can they if they cant even recognize and relate to the 'average' Bahamian, their way of life. This is crazy, excuse to pussyfoot to excuse and more pussyfoot. I have lost hope for this country.
