T&T: Above the law

Read the story. Typical police arrogance, but this time directed at one of their own.

Traffic and Highway Patrol officers should not be the only ones hoping that Commissioner Everald Snaggs will order an inquiry into a remarkable episode in which a traffic policeman was taken off the streets after ticketing a senior officer.

What has been reported of the matter so far prompts caution about rushing to judgment based only on the allegations on all sides, and this only underscores the need for an authoritative inquiry.
