Police Seeking Legal Advice On Stop And Search

Share

Commissioner of Police, Dr. Kevin Blake, is seeking legal advice regarding the police’s authority to stop and search citizens under the new Road Traffic Act.

Noting that the issue poses a problem between motorists and members of the force, Dr. Blake says steps must be taken to ensure that there is no arbitrariness.

He was responding to a question on the matter during a meeting of the Montego Bay Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the Harbour City Shopping Centre, in St. James.
