Why? Minimum 10 years per firearm, additional 1 year for each round of ammunition. Gun crime solved.
You’re welcome.
I am asking a question 4king magistrate. where that money going to are they going to assist the police who are putting their lives at risk to apprehend those criminals and you just giving them bail and send them back on the streets. but of course they already have another illegal firearm in their possession. police men you all need to be on their backs these guys have enemies so they must always have firearms to defend themselves. dont think because you take one from them that they will not get another
“Granted bail”? Making it sound like a great accomplishment!!
Instead you all educate the working poor Is prisons only you all are building not even a minimum wage you all can all can enact
Hahaha ahhh hahahaha wow pet ri hahaha ohjo come here.. hahahaha
It this a joke that is how we solve crimes in this country catching them we guns and bailing them out we smaller amount of money to pay and get them back on the road
Smh. Smh. Smh. Great move, magistrates. Great move! Smh. Smh. Smh.
These magistrates are a bunch of old people who have been serving for a very long time half of them probably have dementia….that’s the only thing I can think of because giving bail to all those criminals doesn’t make sense..no wonder some of the honest police offices are frustrated they keep arresting the same criminals over and over and before morning come they’re back on the streets we need younger magistrates that will remember things otherwise…. crapo smoke 🚬 our pipes
## JUST SO YOU KNOW I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST OLD PEOPLE…
Bail and Suitable Surety .These Magestrates Contributes to these Unlicensed Firearms and Ammunition offences .That’s why there’s so much illegal Guns in St.Lucia Suitable Surety Crap
