Carette says road blocking is illegal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>(DNO)<\/strong> Police have frowned on recent protest actions which have included the blockage of public roads and have guaranteed that all will be done in order to bring such offenders to justice.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Police Chief Cyril Carette, who spoke to media today at the Police Headquarters, said that these actions are sometimes done without thinking and could have dire consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLives could be lost, the ambulance could be travelling and it\u2019s blocked&#8230; You could have the fire service going to a fire and just because the fire truck cannot pass then you find property is destroyed. So we have to take those things into consideration when we are going to take such action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c&#8230; We are once again urging persons to desist from engaging in such illegal acts, it\u2019s a violation of the law and we will take whatever action necessary within the law to ensure that persons are brought o justice whether at the time they committed the offenses or subsequently. We need to understand that when we do those things that there are consequences. And some persons do not think before they do those things. We need really to resolve all our issues by peaceful means,\u201d Carette said.<\/p>\n<p>Carette strengthened his comments by mentioning the case of five Calibishie males &#8211; which include one juvenile &#8211; who were charged last Friday for their participation in a recent Calibishie protest.<\/p>\n<p>According to Carette, on May 6, 2010, the five males appeared before the Magistrate\u2019s Court in Wesley on charges of disobeying the public order act, being a public nuisance and obstruction under the traffic act.<\/p>\n<p>They all pleaded guilty. The adults were bond over to keep the peace, in the sum of $1,000 for two years, in default, six months in prison. This means that they should not commit any offense within a two-year time span or they will either pay the said cash sum or go to jail for six months.<\/p>\n<p>The juvenile will reappear at the magistrate\u2019s court on June 23, where decision will be given following the receipt of a probation report on him.<\/p>\n<p>Carette reiterated: \u201cThey were warned to desist from engaging in such illegal acts&#8230; We must talk of this sort of decadence that we having in society.\u00a0 When we look at what is happening over the world today, we do not want those things to come to Dominica. We do not want such violence to come to Dominica.\u00a0 And we will do all in our powers to stamp out such violence in Dominica.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(DNO) Police have frowned on recent protest actions which have included the blockage of public roads and have guaranteed that all will be done in order to bring such offenders to justice.
