![]() Record the Actions of the PoliceA Poem by Poet Pittinix![]() This composition encourages people to record what the police do in public places.![]() The law on public photography and videography allows a person to shoot photos
and videos in public settings. Privacy does not exist in a public space, so people can record any event
that takes place publicly. When something happens before the eyes of the public, why should someone
not photograph or video it? A police officer cannot charge someone with invasion of privacy for
taking pictures or recording videos in public. The government of Jamaica wants to pass a law to make it illegal for a
civilian to video the police when they are doing their jobs. If this madness becomes law, it would be gross oppression and a disregard
for the people of Jamaica. All Jamaicans and visitors should be allowed to record the actions of
the bad-minded, trigger-happy police in a public place. Moreover, body cameras are for the protection of the police and
civilians, therefore the police should use them. The police are public servants, and therefore they should work with transparency
and professionalism. Every citizen of this country has the right to gather potential evidence
against the wicked police. Persons who want to do this should make sure they do not impede the work
of the police and cause a confrontation. Some unscrupulous police will try to intimidate those who photograph or
video them on the job, But the police do not have the right to seize a person’s device or tell
the person to delete the recorded contents. The members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force do not have a reputation
for speaking the truth. Therefore, nobody should trust these lying and corrupt agents of the
state at any time or in any situation. Jamaica has a police force that is notorious for its physical and verbal
abuse of innocent poor people. The police in this country also murder innocent black people in cold
blood and fabricate absurd reports. The fact that the government is even attempting to make this law shows
the evil intent of the political leaders. The prime minister of this country seems to think that he is a god, but
he is just a piece of human faeces. That non compos mentis man has no clue how to run a country; he should
go and shovel dung in a pigpen. If the thin-skinned Jamaican prime minister had a conscience, he would
pack his bags and go immediately. The people of Jamaica would be insane to let that chinch remain in
office in the next general election. © 2024 Poet PittinixAuthor's Note
