Grove police pickup crashes into two cars after “chase”

May 28, 2019 News, https://www.kaieteurnewsonline...wo-cars-after-chase/

A police pickup from the Grove Police Station, East Bank Demerara, suffered significant damage yesterday after crashing into two cars along the Diamond Access Road.

The residents are questioning who will pay compensation.

Interesting question.

According to the announcement in the newspapers by Khemraj Ramjattan, police officers who damage their vehicles must personally pay for the damages.

-as 56 pickups rolled out for Xmas patrols

The days of daredevil driving may be over for ranks from the Guyana Police Force.

That’s because of new Force regulations that will result in policemen having to foot the bill for repairs to the vehicles they damage through reckless use.

Minister of Public Security, Khemraj Ramjattan, issued this warning yesterday, while handing over 56 brand-new pickups, to the Guyana Police Force.

Absolute nonsense. The vehicles should be covered by insurance issued to the government/GPF. How are the ranks supposed to perform their duties properly? Who will want to risk damaging a vehicle chasing criminals or responding to a crime expeditiously? Ramjattan continues to show how much of an idiot he is and how much he is out of his element.

Honestly, all of these people - PPP, PNC, AFC are out of their element. It's like their mental faculties are stunted. Sheer bush league shit coming out of these people. 50+ years of pure shit from supposedly "educated" people. Wait 'til yuh see wha dis genius "degreed" man Irfart gon come up wid LOL.

He mentioned they should pay for damage via "reckless use". There had been a spate of damage to police vehicle through joy riding and personal business use by pnc police. 

PNC can even eat iron in their destructiveness. Look what they did to the Tata Bus.

Agreed on the joy riding and personal business use. Who decides what's reckless?

Just like they do in the US, call in to report you are in pursuit, video cams etc.  Don't give them the chance to crash then later claim they were in pursuit of criminals. There will be a audit trail to back up their stories.
