Uninformed people should not be enforcing these procedures
DEAR EDITOR,
Referencing Clinton Conway’s letter relating to “police stop and search” as outlined in the Police Act Section 18, Chapter 16:01, yes, I would rebut, as he expected per his remark “may even promote some more debate”.
Like Clinton, as a former member of the force, I witnessed these stops and searches for various ambiguous reasons. Having Policy and Procedures in place
means nothing when you have a number of uninformed people enforcing it.
Let’s examine the aforementioned Police Act wordings “reasonable suspicion” and “upon which there shall be reason to suspect”. These wordings were carefully selected so that the public will not be harassed by way of unreasonable searches and seizures.
The opposite is taking place for no reason, but to stop and search with the intent to find illegality, then it’s easy to give a number of reasons for the stop.
I agree the law is not an ass, but unapprised people attempting to enforce it, are.
