That hideous, ugly looking gremlin riding like he owns the road has total disregard for pedestrians and motorists. Not surprised if it’s him.
How comforting it would be for the 180k people of Saint luica to learn that police has caught the suspect after accessing and reviewing surveillance footage! But NOOOO, enforcement is nonsense and that is the reason that petty and serious crimes persist!
Sometimes I have to wonder, if there’s some high power individual or individuals who are preventing the government from installing sur veillance cameras. What will it take the government to start such project? I bought some cheap cameras on ebay over five years now and they are still working perfectly.
@lou and george, not sure what part of the island you reside but the highway between castries and cap estate is littered with high powered cameras… expensive ones at that…they haven’t been commissioned for whatever reason or the other…but had they been operational alot of the vehicles used in crime thus far would have been registered…. specific details could have been acquired to further along investigations….i dont know what to tell you….they just arent working…or maybe they are….who knows!?
Two ways of effectively slowing down criminals . They need money and transport . V Guard make it harder to travel , the public will be inconvenienced but small price to pay , constant random and multiple road blocks. Make movement harder. Now for money that’s where it gets tricky. Because if you do it for one you must do for all and you need inland revenue on board. People need to start showing proof earnings. Because we are all seeing. The ghetto yute and average street man wealth seem to be escaping inflation. But the ghetto yute don’t have the 20,000 USD deposit to move pelico across the water ……..
But this has been said for the past 12 years. We saw some of it in 2010 and surprise surprise we had low crime levels. Bad boys kept their ass indoors. But the society has been groomed to favour the bad boy..just sad…..
@odd.. the island have those cameras installed it was part of a multi million dollars project undertaken by digicel and gates. Gates is the government leg of Information Technology sector. Weather they are working or not the government using such setup as a profile for foreign countries to see that we are fighting crime. This has been the second white elephant project, 1st it was LIME, so I guess this is how the Lucian’s accept things because they are deeply rooted with political affiliation. Talking about cameras, in that area almost every other place have cameras. What we do not have is cooperation because our police force is yet to regain trust from our civil society. I know in many instances cameras from private homes can shed a lot of clues towards crime but we needed that trust and protection and we don’t. Our crime unit also needs a lot of training because in Lucia somebody does always see things.
What is happening in your precious paradise is happening worldwide and yet worse, but thank God, St Lucia will be spared, because God has (many people in it..
While things are happening all over the world, you certainly cannot compare your 238 square mile radius to worldwide statistics. For your size and population your statistics are extremely high in comparison to others. You all need to do something quickly to curb these homicide issues – there is something called crossfire.
[Crossfire is when weapons are being fired from different directions, crossing the same general area. Getting caught in crossfire during a shootout can be deadly.] Godspeed.
