What series and episode is this!?
I hope that the police continues with these regular spot checks. Not just because we are approaching Carnival and the inevitable and obvious spike in criminal activity but it is a way of finding and catching bandits and contrabands and criminals that they would not otherwise capture. Regular police patrols and searches does inconvenient motorists sometimes but it is an inconvenience that we are prepared to take and accept in the interest of safety and security.
Most of these criminals are friends with the police so nothing will sticks regardless of the evidence
That’s what I’m talking about! Police working hard!!!! Together we can get these criminals off the streets. Let’s just remember that Police and the community has to work together. We blame them before! Time for us to give the flowers in this day
The police has been working hard these days! Removing all the criminals from the streets! Guess there was a recent meeting
We can’t complain that the police are not working. They seem to be on a role lately
