difference is centralized and publicly operating 'businesses' that openly trade in stolen metals, which are lobbying to be recognized as legit businesses
As a scrap iron dealer blindly buying metal for export without trying to verify the source of said metals, then you deserve to have your 'industry' regulated
If shutting down said 'industry' is the first phase, then you've brought this upon yourself
If he were smart, he'd lobby for tighter regulation on the used car parts trade instead of the 'if dem could do it, who is we?' argument

Like the word you used " tighter " ? It's one of my "go to" words :lol:

Government's role is NOT to close down an industry but to regulate it .

The Police and Heniz and PM got this whole situation wrong !

It's shows frustration by our so-called "leaders" that they do not understand what's going on in T&T :roll:

Most likely there'll be a noise ease up as the 'legit' trucks won't be operating in neighborhoods multiple times a day.
Doubt it would impact on the illegitimate collection.

todays protest 3 hrs ago ...

SCRAP IRON PROTEST CAUSES TRAFFIC GRIDLOCK



Scrap iron dealers and employees returned to the streets at daybreak on Wednesday, burning debris in protest against government's six-month ban on the exportation of scrap iron. The Southern Main Road, at the Claxton Bay Junction, and several areas along Cedar Hill Road were blockaded. This resulted in a traffic gridlock along the Solomon Hochoy Highway.

the issue is enforcement as duane saying.

if the police and enforcement did d job and stopped the scrap yards and thefts maybe d honest places coulda continue. stopping the export now is just a 'quik fix'.

dat not solving d problem........which is tiefin, plain talk.

if they used to enforce and do simple sting operation to ketch a dealer buying stolen stuff and revoking their export it would certainly help but enforcement is very nonexistent
our authorities are reactive and react to the very end of the food chain not the top

Did they stop export alone or the entire operation on a whole?

Because people will have scrap metal to dispose of and you know Trini mentality - if it outa sight is not my problem.

Even I have scrap metal to dispose of and nowhere to put it. They were taking metal by the tonne last they told me so I get blank with it.

It makes foreign $$ for the working T&T man than cannot get access to foreign currency in ANY Bank .

It's not a drain on the economy for foreign $$ as foreign cars dealers, new cars dealers or the large supermarkets or cell phone biz where persons do not earn foreign dollars.

It's the financial independence that angers lots of T&T peeps - not the crime.

Even if such person sells the USD after earning it - he will still earns extra income to take care of his family .
