The only person hatin is YOU cause I could give a flyin fawk about what other people do with their lives as long as it doesn’t bring any form of BS to my door step.

And YES people will continue to HATE the police because instead of helping the public and chasing the a$$holes out there that need to be dealt with, they run after stupidity like this! So now the tax payers will have to pay the tens of thousands out for a BS trial where he gets off anyway instead of telling this dude to cut the sh!t and send him home with a warning!!!!

NEXT!!!!

But let’s look at the precedent this sets if he is found guilty. Let’s think about it – if you are handicapped or lost your legs and you use a motarized wheelchair, then you will now need a license and third party insurance. And don’t even think about having one or two many drinks, cuz then you got a dui! When does police state start to kick in. That starts to sound more like discrimination than the legal forces protecting society. And whatabout all those out there riding pedal bikes or sailing a boat. Are they now criminals because they enjoy a drink? Look at Bermuda’s history. We were all rummies back in the day pushing sugar cane and rum from the Caribean to the world. And ya’ll wanna get all heated about minor things like this. Let’s fix real problems and stop concentrating on stupid ish like this.

Scary thing is some people will want us to all stop drinking and license and insure our wheelchairs. Get out Bermuda and move down the mormon South. Cuz trust, we Bermudians got no time for ya’ll.

Out.

Judging from all the posters, bumper stickers and such there is currently a campaign underway to attempt to persuade people to be more open regarding information linked to crimes. A word of advice Mr. Police commissioner – if you want to get people to to that you will first have to earn their trust and respect. Respect cannot be expected just because someone is wearing a nice uniform. It is earned, and it is earned through doing your job in providing a service to the community. This is a prime example of the failure of the police force to do just that. I’ve been robbed, assaulted and all sorts over the last few years and i never bothered to report it to the police because the simple fact is they aren’t willing or able to do anything about it. The only thing they appear to be interested in is penalising the honest (relatively!) population for petty crimes such as this one in an attempt to make more money and exercise their egos. I for one am tired of it! Unfortunately i have to work with the police on a regular basis and have been consistently appalled by their complete lack of professionalism and disgusting attitude. STOP WASTING OUR MONEY!

Cheers,rant over!

Adam- Can I have the $20 I leant you a year ago so that you could pay your rent?

Surly the police must have more serious crimes going on in this island then petty stuff.

The electric toy will probably be viewed the same as a bicycle. If you get caught allegedly drunk on a bicycle, can that lead to a ban on motorbikes? Would that be fair to do?

I don’t think they can ban a person from pedal cycles, so would mean someone could allegedly get hot and ride drunk on a pedal cycle all the time.

End of the day, there are so many real issues the police need to deal with, wasting time on this seems pointless.

There is a big difference between your 2 year old kid riding around your neighbourhood with you supervising him during the day and a GROWN allegedly DRUNK A$$ allegedly riding at night on the main road.

And you wonder why everyone hates you and calls you an A$$. Grow up and think of the consequences and read the article before you speak out and hate on the police o anyone else for that matter.

If you’re referring to the comments section, the other media has the exact same thing and their posts aren’t even moderated. You could put anything on there and if it’s offensive it gets taken down-but how many people have seen it in the meanwhile? I’ve tried to post comments that haven’t been come through as the Bernews moderator clearly found it inappropriate, which pissed me off at the time but still, they’re avoiding the very thing you accuse them of.

If it’s a ‘gossip blog’ you clearly like gossip or you wouldn’t be here.

Sorry, now that the sarcasm is out of my system, wtf is goin on in this country?! There is next to nothing fun to do on this island, if there is, it costs an arm and a leg. Crime is at an all time high and the police are gonna try and ream him what, $1500, for allegedly having fun? When in the officers discretion he could have given him a warning. We can’t have a sexual offenders registry but you csn charge him for this? We are doomed as a people, I once argued with people that said our island is too far gone, I’m starting to think I was wrong.
