This private car owner flouts the law
Dear Editor,
Failure by the police in Region #2 to enforce the law for infractions is responsible for the escalation of lawlessness in the district.
Presently, there is a private car owner presumptuously operating his vehicle for hire with this man being an absolute nuisance.
While the police are cognisant of the serious risks that are involved for commuters to use a private car for hire, they seem not to be interested or concerned about the illegality, for reasons best known to them but obviously linked to malfeasance when it is incumbent upon them to ensure that there is a level playing field.
Personally, repeated reports were made against the man, but no action was ever taken against him and he continues to do so with impunity.
Ever so often, the police keep telling me that he would be charged and placed before the court, but this was never done.
In my humble opinion, justice was never designed to be a one sided affair and what is needed at all times is for the police to do their job in an impartial and professional manner to gain the respect and support of the community.
