"expunge the records of young people convicted of minor offences related to use of the drug as part of its five-year legislative agenda."
Since about 90% of RBPF "drug busts" are 15 year olds with a joint in their pocket it should be interesting to see what this new policy will do to the "crime statistics" they keep rolling out to justify their incompetent policing
These clowns are dreaming if they think squeezing the "high end" owners for double the RPT is going to solve anything. Ridiculous rates of tax will kill the high end real estate market and merely encourage buyers to go elsewhere.
Killing the golden goose won't solve anything. Why not collect the 40% of RPT that's going uncollected?
Brilliant logic, chase away the "wealthy landowners" who can go to Caymans, T&C, Monaco, Greece, Italy, etc etc and pay about 1/10th the amount of property tax than the Bahamas and then don't make any reasonable attempt to collect outstanding taxes on whoever is left. Genius plan
What's worse, getting ripped off by a fraudster via a Webshop account or getting ripped off by depositing your money to your own Webshop account and gambling it away? At least in scenario A you have .00001% chance of retaining your money
The boys with the fat suits and little sticks can't make a dent in violent crime but boy howdy can they arrest teenagers with a joint in dey pocket! Well done, go do a walkaround and let the public know what great guys you are! "black pouch and plastic wrapping" woo hoo, how dramatic!

Multiple shootings on a daily basis and nothing being done to stop it. Cops busy arresting 16 year olds for having a marijuana gummy in they pocket. smh
anyone with access to a jetski or a small boat can access the entirety of Cabbage beach at any access point they choose. Climbing over private property to access the beach is an issue because,....well it's private property. NOONE is denying Bahamians access to the beach.
It is the jetski operator thugs and their drug dealing accomplices who beat and rape unsuspecting tourists on a daily basis when given unobstructed access to the beach that are ruining things for everyone. Why haven't these criminals been stopped?

"We have identified that the majority of those firearms, illegal firearms, have been coming from Florida,” Wow, great detective work! How long did it take you to figure that one out??
