If you are going to make it illegal, I suggest that it is for the purpose of being an imposter or trying to purport to be a member of the BDF, similar to if you purport to be a member of The Barbados Police Service, that that would be an offence. So, I would agree with Justice Greaves on this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in February, Home Affairs Minister Wilfred Abrahams SC called for the wearing of camouflage to be decriminalised. Speaking in Parliament on the Law Revision and Law (Amendment Bill), which sought to amend or repeal outdated legislation, he contended that the ban on camouflage was among outdated statutes. But he made clear that this was \u201chis position\u201d and not that of the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf ever there was a piece of legislation that needed changing, it was that,\u201d Abrahams said about the regulations which were introduced around the October 1983 United States-led military intervention into Grenada that followed the bloody coup in which Prime Minister Maurice Bishop and ministerial colleagues were assassinated. Barbados was a staging post for the invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI could understand that at the time that legislation was passed. . . . I believe that was around the time of the Grenada situation where there were a lot of armed forces in Barbados all at the same time. So all through Barbados, you had different types of camouflage . . . so you didn\u2019t want any confusion with the armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the substance. You didn\u2019t want anybody impersonating a member of the armed forces,\u201d said Abrahams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo it cannot possibly extend to the fashion that camouflage is now. That cannot possibly extend to a camouflage party dress, it definitely cannot extend to the camouflage speedo. So, my point is, these are things that, . . . to me, need to be relooked.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3125061558\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SOURCE- BARBADOS TODAY- Amid the home affairs minister\u2019s call for decriminalising the wearing of camouflage, a top jurist has suggested it should only remain an offence if used in committing a crime.
