– in arresting,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, fingerprinting and photographing civiliansThe recent practice by the Guyana Police Force of arresting, fingerprinting and photographing civilians has attracted the attention of two legal officials, who have accused the force of operating outside the boundaries of the law.The officials say they are concerned, particularly with the fact that this treatment is also being meted out to juveniles, who are taken into police custody and questioned without a guardian or lawyer being present.The Joint Services began this controversial practice some months ago, when attempts were being made to dismantle the so-called Rondell ‘Fine Man’ Rawlins Gang.Some police officials say that this operation, including clandestine video-taping, is helping them develop a crime ‘data base’, and has led to the apprehension of key members of this criminal gang.Many of those arrested were youths from Buxton, Agricola and other depressed communities.This has led to accusations from some quarters that the force is targeting one particular racial group.It is a charge that policemen who spoke to Kaieteur News have denied.Speaking to Kaieteur News yesterday,Cheap Baseball Jerseys China, one of the legal officials explained that there must be justification for any arrest.“But to pick a man up and take fingerprints is shameful, and the Guyana Police Force must be sanctioned,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China,” the official said.“There should be numerous proceedings against the state. Perhaps if they get a class action (lawsuit) they will stop.”The official also expressed concern that juveniles are also being targeted in this operation.“You can’t be picking up a minor and doing those things without his parents’ consent.According to another legal official, citizens can refuse to be fingerprinted or photographed.“If I don’t want to give fingerprints, I can refuse,” the officials said.In response, two security officials stopped short of conceding that the Joint Services were operating outside of the law.They pointed to the fact that many youths who were arrested were linked to serious offences, such as armed robbery and murder.Kaieteur News understands that three youths, including two juveniles, were detained on Saturday in connection with an armed robbery in Bagotstown.The controversial operation reared its head again last Friday, when several juveniles were arrested in Agricola and taken to the Brickdam Police Station,Deion Jones Falcons Jersey UK, where they were fingerprinted and photographed.Among those arrested was a 17-year-old schoolboy who had accompanied some friends to the community.The teen was released some hours after his mother turned up at the station.In February,China Jerseys Cheap, a 15-year-old schoolgirl from Buxton alleged that she was arrested, along with about 16 other people,Wholesale Jerseys China, while on an errand for her mother.She alleged that she was photographed and fingerprinted, and then detained for two days at the East La Penitence Police Station.An ex-policewoman from the same community also claimed to have suffered the same treatment at the hands of her former colleagues.
