CoP: Don't wine on my officers! (T&T carnival)

“I would want to ask our masqueraders, particularly our scantily dressed ladies, to desist from dancing, wining, and gyrating on my officers. It is disrespectful and unwelcome.”

Asked what would be the issue if officers consented to the gyrating, Harewood-Christopher said: “I believe I lead a professional organisation and I doubt very much (its members) will consent or even return a wine.”

In 2018, then public information officer ASP Michael Jackman warned revellers about “thiefing a wine,” which could land them in hot water. He said it could be considered assault, which is an offence under the Summary Offences Act that could lead to imprisonment for three-six months.

Tief ah wine

A viral video of a police officer wining on a woman at a fete in Diego Martin in 2015 led the police to investigate his conduct. It was later revealed that the woman was his wife, and the officer was spared disciplinary action.

nah they have to be stern this rounds........we have psychopaths in TT these days.....and as we have seen recently, they're not afraid to commit violence, heinous violence in public areas.....so the officers need to be focused all the time. the pre pandemic world is very different from the world we now live in

It may be seen as all good until they wine up on the baton, and it's not the baton they expect
