That's no way to speak to a cop. 

The man was right. He had to show probable cause or suspicion to stop him. I will defend the dude cussing out the police. It seems like that's the only language they understand. If it was a coolie man, they would have physically hauled him out of the car, arrest and handcuffed him. The "haffica" looked like he was looking for a lil raise. He seemed like he was trying to look for any anything to get the man. Cat pissed in his cap that day.

Too often I have witness these disgraceful attitude. I hope the commander haul his behind in the lock up for driving away from a police officer and charge his arse.

He’s a disgrace to the Crawford’s ( if he has connection to former Judge Crawford ) 

Someone had to put a stop to the PNC policies of BRIBES and CORRUPTION!!!

I have to disagree with you. Driving is not a constitutional right. He should have been arrested for disorderly conduct with the abused officer being the complainant.  Next time they stop him, they should place the stop bars with the spikes next to his tyres.

In a free Country you cannot stop a person without a cause, the man simply asked for the cause.

I agree. But still that does not give one the right to be abusive.  I think Crawford is from Alness, Corentyne. 

Mits, we all know how the GPF and the Govt operates. They wrote the manual how to be third world Slums!!!

understand his frustrations. Last year December I was in Guyana for a week. A few hours trip to Albion turned into 12 hours and late in the night. The police stopped the vehicle for no reason in Berbice and in Demerara. In Demerara twice.  And nothing was wrong. If there were more cusswords, Crawford not blamed fuh using dem all.

I got back from Guyana about a month ago and can understand that guy frustration. For example if you are driving from Georgetown to rosignal on any given day you are likely to be stop and ask for your driver licene at least 4 times. On several occasion they take my documents and ask you park off the road as if they found something wrong then they would produce tickets for purchase for a barbeque somewhere in Sophia or lodge for G$1000 a piece which they full well know few would go there. One cop at a Weldaad West Berbice stop ask me for a donation just like that when he handed back the documents. If you live out of Guyana not only in the ABC countries but the Caribbean islands, Surinam and surround countries you might get pull over but you would never see a cop standing on the road stopping motorist and ask to produce your drivers licene...only in shithole Guyana... 

The police are looking for the smallest infraction on your vehicle to issue a ticket. They will inform you of the ticket cost VS paying a small pc. 

This form of bribery can be stop by having dash board cameras and expose these culprits.

I park my car in camp street and when I came back this cop says its park illegal because it was slightly slanted and diagonal parking is not allow. So I told to write me a ticket to which he said I have to drive to Eveleary and I will be place on a G$5000 bail. He probably think I would bribe him but I said ok I need to see your superior officer who would put me in front a magistrate for a parking ticket.  He gave me my licene and says carry on. 

Lot of us are blaming governments for Guyanese bad behavior but when you see young and fit well fed persons shakedown/hustling others openly from the immigration/customs, baggage handler, taxi and almost everyone you come in contact with you realize its a disease affecting all Guyanese.

The operations of the Police Traffic Department,have been like that for years.They pulled you over ask for Drivers License,then a raise.

Their other intimidation drive your vehicle to the Police Station and impound it,another raise to get it out.I have never gave them any raise.Two incidents,one in GT and the other at VH, i was asked to drive to station,i told the officer you are wasting my time and your time.

I drove in and drive out,my contacts their Superiors were stationed there.All the Commanders,Inspectors and Sergeants that was stationed in my Region was my acquaintances,any new ones stationed,i am introduced to them.

Yes. The SOCIETY is corrupt. Governments are a reflection of the people. You get the government you deserve. From early ages teefing and bribery is encouraged as a way of life in Guyana, even if they have money and don't need to steal. And that behavior makes into all levels of public office and in every political party. It's a culture of thievery.

The PNC trained, condone and encourage Customs, Police and Civil Service to behave in such ways. They are allowing these people to supplement their salaries so that the Govt does not have to give increases.

Good for you to stood your ground. Almost similar stuff happened to me two weeks ago at Parika stelling. 

Park my truck infront the police station and proceed to the stelling for my tickets for the ferry . Came back, a cop already has his book pretending to write a ticket, claiming I park on a no parking spot. 

I said, where is the no parking sign ( there was NO sign ) I told him I will speak with his boss ( corporal ) who was sitting across a food stall eating food that my buddies paid for. 

This police say, leave something for me nah  pardna. It was difficult to avoid his request, knowing there was food around... we invite him for a bit.
