Over one thousand, five hundred votes were recorded on our e-poll, sixty-five percent saying no and thirty-five percent saying yes to the decriminalization.

    As i understand it from listening to the other news station –
    Disciplinary action is being taken against the offers not for speaking out but because
    they were warned numerous times that the Police Act does not give them the right to
    go to the media!
    If they warn you and show you proof that you can not do what you are doing
    and you chooose to continue then the only person to blame is yourself!

    I say these guys are doing the right thing when you have corrupt leaders why should you follow them off the cliff. Think fu yourself no one in this world can just pick up and move your whole family along with housing and so on in that short a time but perhaps unu bosses no sa unu know whey they di du so they the make sure unu out a di way I say stand up fu what’s right since their is no leader in the country these ministers are doing whatever they want .. No leader means. Chaos and mayhem, and corruption. So unu Betta wake up belizeans

    Of course not. Imagine the police that cant move with his family. The wife and kids stay and he goes to hells knows where. What you think will happen to that family? What happen to kids without the father? Do we need more criminals? Do we need more drug problems? Do we need more single mothers? We need to give the police good pay and medals for the ones that deserve them.
