To stay inline with the law, remember this saying, ” Do as I say and not as I do” in other words if you saw the ploice did it {commit an illegal act} that does’nt give you the right to do the same, unless instructed to do so by someone in athority.

The vast majority of the traffic police are ill trained, or appears that way.

They are the ones who does not show any respect, when they have on the government clothes and boots…………………

A poll of 100 taxi drivers will prove I am correct………………….

Nothing about this is surprising.
Guyana – like every other country I have visited (and I’ve visited about two dozen) has a Police Culture.
That Culture says to the Citizenry “We are the law; we can and will do as we please; we will persecute and sometimes prosecute you simply for disrespecting us by questioning our application of our authority!!!
Police never readily (unless when it is convenient) accept that they are servants of the citizenry and as such owe similar respect to them as they demand.

Well if Mr. Thorne is correct in his defence it speaks volumes
In the GPF do as I say not as I do. We say not to break the law but don’t follow us if we break it. What a pity?
