      But of course, idiot got back his job after being fired and blank up again. And you got plenty of people looking for jobs and they can’t find one. He was to busy focusing on how much racks he could make smuggling the nose candy. The legal job was just to make him look legit. Mannnn, this is Tortola where everyone know what’s good.

      U really is a sk**t for talking so much Bs. You use high orbit sats that are geosyn for tracking. Low orbit anything has a speed much faster than the moving earth and will whisk past ur target in seconds. Good luck keeping track of an object when the difference is your velocities is over 14,000 mph.

    Those lights you see in the sky at nights, ain’t no stars, they are drones watching every movement that is going on below. At nights when you are snuggle up comfy in your beds plenty of silent drones is flying over your homes. The whole Island is under a giant microscope/surveillance. Be very careful how you move around day or night here on the Island, ????????????.

      Your comment is correct. I swear those idiots would have know this, that all the lights in the sky at nights are not stars. The drones are even there in the Day but not visible by the naked eyes due to sunlight. You idiots need to go and find normal jobs and make your money honestly.

    There are drones watching us day and night. They can see right into your homes day or night. Why you think the police comes in the middle of the night with warrants in hand to blow down your doors and search. No one is snitching, you are snitching your own selves out. You think those drones is not watching you runners in your speed boats back and forth in the darkness gathering intel? Go out and get a normal 9-5 and you don’t have to be panicked like the other night when the ghetto bird was in the sky up East. West and Sea Cows bay the ghetto bird will be paying you a visit soon.

    They can pay all the visit they want at the end of the day we have to ask if what they are doing looking into peoples homes with their helicopter & drone is legal and if this is what we want to tolerate beyond the protection of our borders.

    Spying is highly illegal right up there with arson but to whom is offered the protection?

    At the end of the day people have a right to complain about the noise & flying over their house. If you are a war vet or civilian victim of war it can be traumatic. Those helicopters can literally blow us away and its only trust in a foreigner being sane that makes people cheer it on beyond the arrest of one or two people.

    Serious question for VI landers where does our privacy begin & our intolerance for foreign "law enforcement" who break our laws begin?
