ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- After issuing his first ticket to a Bobby's Supermarket forklift driver last Friday December 2, 2016 outside the supermarket, Glenn 'Supa Cop' Callwood is at it again.

Today December 8, 2016 Mr Callwood reportedly issued another ticket to a forklift driver in the area of the Port Purcell Roundabout around 5:10 P.M.

Forklifts must be licensed to operate on the public roads, the same way as regular automobiles and heavy equipment movers, and Mr Callwood seems to have a new eye for that machinery these days.

It is unclear the name of the driver or the company he was working for.

Traffic violators should be aware that while 'Supa Cop' has not issued any donkey riders or pedal cyclists with tickets to date, persons who violate the traffic laws will not be spared as Mr Callwood is surely back on the traffic beat!

      These machines should be licensed and insured. They are strong machines and if they hit you, you are messed up. Supa Cop is doing the right thing. People have been getting away with bloody murder. What are the other cops doing around here? NOTHING! If they handled all of these violations, we would not need "ONE" Supa Cop. They should all be Supa Cops!

    He wouldn't be handing out the tickets if it wasn't a law. If he is doing that... yall have room to sue. Simple

    while I agree in principle about following the law, hitting people every single time will only build resentment.
    I remember getting pulled over in the states for some violation. The policeman basically yelled at me and explained why it was illegal or dangerous, but he gave me a warning and not a ticket. I was so grateful I will always remember to
    follow that particular law. He educated me to do the right thing. All the tickets in the world can't do that.

      Dog you crazy, if I have to fork out money for breaking a traffic violation, believe me I not doing it again. When it hurts your pocket you are more likely to follow the rules.

        not necessarily. The fact that he COULD do that and didn't (showing mercy) is equally as valid and for me, was a true blessing because I didn't have the money, but was "educated". infractions should be upheld- yes- but I find respect a better virtue than fear and anger.

      @dog the police amnesty period done pass.

      It seems like you all want an indefinite amnesty.
      • dog (10/12/2016, 00:07) Like (4) Dislike (0) Reply
        no- discretion of the officer on an individual basis. there is nothing about indefinite amnesty. A new young driver forgets to put on his blinker and gets pulled over. He is scared as it is. Ticket or warning until next time? Gratitude and mercy goes farther than punishment.

    Thank you Officer Callwood!!!! When will your fellow officers see that we law abiding public want stricter enforcement. If this keeps up and persons pay their fines, the Premier will have his budget made!! If fines not paid (as I suspect) then persons owing should not be able to license fehicles or renew drivers licenses!

    Time would be better spent fining people who park without consideration to others and block them in. Motor cyclists shooting lights and not wearing helmets.

    @rock city, we are on the same page. The man is just doing his job. If they obey the rules of the road, they have nothing to worry about or say. But of course, they want to be wrong and strong at the same time and when they get a ticket, they spazz out like a toddler because he did not give them a break.

    Listen, a lot of us does be doing effery on the road all the time. I often try to do my best but sometimes things happen. I always put on my seat belt but one day I came out of One Mart and was heading to town and I didn't put my seat belt on right away, as soon as I hit the round-about by Qwomar I got pulled over by the supposed female version of "Supercop". I simply explained that I usually put on my seat belt but I just got out from One Mart and happened not to put it on that time. She simply gave me a warning and I put on my seat belt and drive off.

    The way we project sometimes can help the outcome of a situation. I don't know if Supercop goes overboard with the ticket issuing because we only see pics of him as if he's writing a ticket and I do not know what the circumstances are behind him giving a ticket(s). I encourage everybody to follow the road rules all the time or as much as possible and I doubt anybody would have to worry about Supercop to much!!

    PS: If since Supercop come back on the road, he pull you over and give you a break. Please let us know because it seems like right now Supercop is the devil himself!! LOL

    Most of you that is trash talking Callwood for doing his job, is a bunch of hypocrites. Why? Because most of you is and knows who the killers, robbers, gun runners, drug dealers and theifs are and you keep your jaws clinched closed. But here goes someone upholding the law doing his job the legal way and he is according to you people the bad one. You bunch of two headed snakes in the grass, wolf in sheeps clothing underground hypocrites. You people really need to take a good look in the mirror and check yourselves. Yeah, I, Ms. D to the DIVA said it.

    I think y'all overing. If you explain the situation to the man he will understand he's human too you know. But too don't expect him to allow y'all to break the law after all his job is to make sure rules are followed. He stopped me already and he gave me a chance. And I respect that so I will make sure he never has to stop me for the same thing again.

    Some of you people just coming on here bashing callwood for doing his job and encouraging lawlessness. That forklift driver was finest a total of $1270 in the magistrate' s court on Friday. The forklift is not registered, not licence, not insured, bears no registration plates and to make matters worse, the driver have no licence. So tell me people, can this be right. In the event he bump down someone what would have happen? Am so glad that callwood is cracking down on all the road traffic law breakers. Do your job without fear callwood, we applaud you much
