Put phones on recording mode when stopped by the police

Apr 07, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
It was very good of you to publish the letter of Michael Anthony, on the Demerara Harbour Bridge.
Knowing how much disliked your paper is by the police.
I can imagine them smirking and saying “there KN goes again, but to no avail”.
Once again I would mention that the Guyana Police should maintain records and from time to time publish the statistics coming out of those records.
So at this nightly stop, some records such as plate numbering, vehicle model and colour, date stopped, vehicles impounded and charges laid should be kept and published.
Should members of the public find themselves subjected to such nightly stops, primarily because they have to use that bridge to get home, it would be useful to have their phones on in recording mode to record the approach made to them for use in any later complaint.
One might say that this is enticing confrontation with consequential use of excessive force by those in authority, but it is a chance to be taken to file verified complaints and to eradicate the misfits from the Force.
Barring any concrete evidence, Michael Anthony’s letter would be simply cast aside by the COP as another example of a member of the public engaged in false commentary.
