I don't want allyuh to?

Question

Feel I bashin we country cuz I'm not.. is juss a question.

Do you think the gov't is doing enough to protect witnesses? I was just reading the express where this man went free on a murder charge because the witness (who happen to be the son of the man who he kill) refused to testify. Do you think that's right? Would you do the same if you were in that situation? Me personally, if testifying against someone meant putting my life and my family's life in danger, then I actin like I blind..sorry to say, but u really can't blame people for not wanting to testify, especially if they risking their lives to do it.. Let me hear from allyuh..

Roger, where yuh?

Answer 1

I will not testify for anyone if it meant putting my family and myself at risk , with the exception of child sexual abuse.

When I was a child, I witnessed a few horrible crimes and because my parents feared for our safety, we left everything alone. Even to this day I am still thinking of doing the right thing as to bring closure to those unsolved crimes, the criminals are all dead now, so they can't hurt us.

Answer 2

corruption in high places, police are been paid to lose evidence, it's happening all over the place, even in Jamrock, the drug trade has messed up everting, de police gettin dem hands stink.

Answer 3

Yuh go have to hide some whe far far like Iceland or sumting or de moon cause ah hear wining dey kinda hard so Trini go duck dat.

But all dotish ting aside let we page Roger Sant dey

Answer 4

No the gov is not !!

To be fair, there are some serious challenges to witness protection in T&T.

1) Because we live in a small country (1.3 million) There really is no where to hide. You could go a almost any corner of the country and there is someone who could make you out. If they don't know you personally, then they know a cousin, an auntie, a parent, a tantie, a liming partner of yours.

2) Then we know the police are currupt to the core.

One solution to so house witnesses in new zealand and have their testimony teleconferenced. (but of course the currupt police will reveal this, and as we already know the colombians will find you anywhere on this planet).

I believe that only selfish and coward people refuse to testify !!

If anyone killed by family, I would not care what they threatened to do to me.

I would go to the (n + 1)th degree to make sure that they go down !! Hard !!

My theory is that if a few courageous people are willing to sacrifice for what is right, regardless of the consequences, the crime situation will dramatically improve.

If you refuse to testify, for whatever reason, you give up your right to complant about crime or the government !!

I would go on to say that you are no better that the murderers yourself and you should be charged for aiding and abetting a murder !!

That's all I have to say about that !!

Answer 5

I'ts okay to bash those who have a say in running or destroying our country!

Looking at the past history of state witnesses - I think that we have a horrible system in place here!  It is definately putting your life as well as those you love in danger!  People are heartless now so they don't care who they hurt to maintain freedom!

Answer 6

Girl is only Roger could answer that...

Answer 7

Like they said before, is corruption in high places in T&T.  Everybody scared because you can't trust anybody, including the police and politicians.  They killing you in broad daylight, right in front the police station and still getting away.  Even if you ask for protection, the men they put to watch you, might be paid off too.  I am sorry to say it but a remedy is nowhere in sight and all these murderers will keep getting freed.

Answer 8

i cant say...allyuh ent hear bout dem shirts we had in states dat say "stop snitchin" & dey made dem t-shirt illegal!!

ppl does be scared for dey life (can i jus hint dat ent no justice like street justice)

instead a dat dyam blimp..dey shuda been tinkin bout gettin some forensic equipment

d way i see tings, as lovely as T&T is...d gov't not doing enuff for nobody but manning..

Answer 9

In the Newsday I read that the gang members in an effort to have a truce, they decided that they're not going to testify against each other, so you know what u can expect.

Is time the police get their act together because too many times you hearing that someone report about something happening in their neighbourhood and by the time they put down the phone or coming back from making the report, the same person they report telling yuh "so ah hear yuh went an report meh", Or the darn police stopping by yuh house with the person in the vehicle with them and they asking "this is the man yuh tell we bout".

Answer 10

well i agree wid u. if i the lives of me and my loved ones are bein put into jeopardy by testifying, i am turning a blind eye. i know its selfish, but we live a dog eat dog society and i gotta look out for number 1. if the government and police could have better witness protection, i will re-think my view on this subject. but  for now i cool wid turning a blind eye if it means self preservation.

Answer 11

girl to tell uh the truth if i see u pelt somebody with ah big stone, i go turn my face and say i ain't see anything!!!

seeing how the system works i not taking any chances in putting me and my family at risk to go to court and testify like that..

however the 555 system crime stoppers seems to have the anonymity which is very well thought out i think but as for police, court and dem kinda thing, not me nah!!!!
