The Constitution of The Bahamas is based on the Westminster Model, allowing for three distinct branches under the Governmental Structure.

A JUDGE chastised a group of young people brought before his court for violating the weekend lockdown yesterday, noting that although a teenager who was fined $700 last week for selling coconuts sparked public outrage, he still had a “courtroom full of people” violating the emergency regulations.
#Magistrate Andrew Forbes told the group, who were found in a car by police Friday night, he was reaching his boiling point since he had to frequently admonish curfew and lockdown breakers of the harsh consequences they could possibly face.
He added that magistrates have been reserved and not given offenders the maximum penalties for such offences, but said “it seems like people aren’t getting the message”.
Let;'s see who is man enough to break it... Brave setting people up, I'll bet he, not man enough to leave his house, even though he is encouraging people to do it. This should be fun.
I only saw a hand full of protesters in the video on the news, not sure that is a representation of the whole island. My sister lives there, I was born there in Spring City... seems Our News only shown all the negative aspects of the burial, bias news reporting.
filipino woman who was caught jogging past the Cable Beach Police Station during the weekend lockdown was fined $2,000 yesterday. Helen Lacar, 41, was charged after officers found her on West Bay Street around 4.20 pm on Sunday, May 17.
Teran Sweeting, 24, was charged after officers found him on Shrimp Road around 10.05 pm on May 10. He pleaded guilty and was fined $1,500 or six months at BDCS.
Officers found Anthorn Ferguson, 39, and Edner Joseph, 49, on Wulff Road around 9.40 pm on May 13. They pleaded guilty and were each fined $500 or three months in prison. Officers found Eusias Bodie, 26, in Pastel Gardens around 9.43 pm on May 12. He pleaded guilty in court, He was subsequently fined $1,000 or six months in prison.
Seems to court had a field day yesterday putting money in the Treasury So while we make reasonable excuses for being out beyond curfew time or feel sorry for those that get caught, here are examples of people who had excellent excuses. Stay home this weekend, $700.00 is nothing, but you might have it to pay ya fines.
