      Sad we need them, we are lost when.it comes to gun crimes, our law makers don't have the balls to stiffen the gun laws- get caught with a gun, 15yrs ammunition 1yr each bullet found in your posession, that's Cayman's laws, they depends on tourism like us, but financial services will save us I.guess

      The UK police once the best in the world are now one of the worst. They are now the thought police and froth at the mouth checking on Facebook and Twitter posts that have mean words. In Russia in 2023 there were 300 arrests over social media posts, in the UK there were 3000. It has to stop and they must get back to street policing and important investigations

        The shame ckncern and embarrassment is that a bunch of bushpeople continue the behaviour that they claim to reject..savages ,cannibals whose target is each other In a World that has evolved they sustain the expectation of poverty,crime ,illiteracy,selfinflcted chronic illnesess,early death,one parent and no parent households.
        BVi, not too long ago,was an exception but the ever encroaching self hatred cause them to import and continue to important dominant number population which has exemplified and smeared with perfection the perfect satanic traits that are expected of the melanated peoples. Critiquing the UK 's attempts to assist and or fix problems that enhance the rampant criminality by introducing a revised Police bill...No Sah...reject that and those Bills like they would Castor Oil and other health inducing remedies.




        ,early death

      u will have to change the laws of the territory to ban scooters; a scooter is a legal means of transportation. crimes are committed using motor cars to escape so should cars be banned

      not all scooters riders are involved with criminal behavior

      @local
      Should the same ban be placed on four wheeled vehicles too?

      Why can't the statements speak on fact?

      Why does some choice of words have to be so ridiculous?

      There is plenty wrong in the BVI , surely.

      You can expect a criminal in most instances to act accordingly. However, it takes a community to act in favour of solving crime together.
      Not being prejudice to a group of people.

      Foolish and bias statement.

      Use your house cameras and share with the police. A bike leaving the scene isn't incriminating. Any thing happen we all would leave the scene. Just means someone might have seen more than they are willing to speak on.

    police needs to get more serious about law enforcement

    go ahead with road blocks as a regular daily operation

    some folks doing foolishness simply because they know they can get away with it and that is joke business…..

    the disruption of the laws of our country will get worse without traffic stops

      I totally agree with you. We have laws in this territory but no law enforcement. The question to be answered is why?

    Young Black males with ties to that infamous location,showing off their innate and proven savagery.
    Nothing new here.
    No worry.
    The new and revised potentially more effective
    Police Bill,drafted and introduced by the
    UK has been rejected by the " victim", namely the BVI..
    No worry,

    So if it was you the scooter rider was shooting at what would you do today? You go to the police and they send you home. Back to square 1.

    You must be an idiot or in a panic but that is how they want us to be in a confusion & vulnerable. I agree to catch the murderer but the harrassing everyone else is no need. Why can they not do a roadblock when the gun man is fleeing????? No infrared drone nothing.

    BEcause they are not serious we need legal fire arms because what is the victim to do now, move? We have to get serious about solving crime that does mean protecting your people before they are killed! Police job is not only scraping them up off the ground.

        " What rejecting a bill got to do with someone shooting a gun" you ask
        ," What does utilizing submarines as a policing and observation tool have to do with the importation of illegal cargo..

        The hindrance tothe going ahead of Marijuana as a legal and viable commodity is that tosoo msny illiterate and non common sense folks such as yourself are the spokespersonds toutjng its forward movement. Many assume that your obvious lack of abc logic is direcy result of your usage of Marijuana when it could be genetic or an accident at birth even environmental. Truly,too manyfolks of your ilk are the proponents of this herb..
        A poor reflection on the result of its usage/consumption.

    Y’all need to stop asking the stupid question about where is the UK police. Y’all don’t like the UK police but when something happens you hollering where is the UK police. If the Uk police try to do their job that they were sent to Tortola to do and help protect you fools the first thing you hear is the white boys come here to brutalize the black man and sit in the local pubs drinking.

      Thank you, well said. They are always talking down the police from the UK. ohhhh, the UK police is sitting in the bars picking up the Spanish women or the UK police is always on boats chilling not doing any work, they are on vacation but for real when they do their job you hypocrites is the first to start hollering they are here to brutalize the youths and the black man. Honestly I feel safer with the police from the UK.

    Amend the Law that you have to be 35 years or older to ride and own a scooter. Hopefully by that age the average scooter rider will have sense by then. Rentals of scooters are for Tourist and persons of age.
