Random stop and search of someone by police

[kcgilll]

I'm curious about this. Is there any laws that allow police to randomly stop and search someone on the road or take someone out of a maxi, taxi or private vehicle and search them??? What have been your experiences also. And can someone refuse to be searched by police randomly???

I don't know what the law says..but police do it all the time for Carnival and random road blocks. Never been searched but I have no concerns if I ever were, just doing their job

They do not search women folk.

Women can only be searched by female officers. I'm giving a serious response because I refuse to believe that was really an attempt at a diss immigrant.

To date Police have serious legal authority in Trinidad.

And they are well trained in the area of "who" to search .

So be careful, respectful or jail beckons

"Acting suspiciously"

[ModMania]

Any suspicious behaviour is cause to stop and search

[orangefox]

Driving B14 and 5 in the car is considered a "gang"

Jail for 60 days Habeas corpus may be needed.

Driving Tida with 1 in car is also a crime .

If you dressed like the fella skin up on the WASA vehicle that is suspicious behaviour.

[Cantmis]

This only applies to rastamen

Random stops and searches are covered by law.
Plus guys have been known to hide firearms in their crotch area as that area is not searched thoroughly, plus the ex-cons have a nice habit of 'vaulting' illegal items in the rectum, so be prepared for the 'skin yuh bamsee dey' approach.

[eyeballz]

how they checking what in the vault? who putting they finger?

I get stop just after the bridge coming out of Grand Reviere last year, gun to face all kinda thing to get out of car. Girfriend and friends from away sheiting bricks not because we did/have anything wrong just none of them ever saw a gun before, far less one being put through the front window of a car they were in (bear in mind its 10 o'clock in the morning so I dunno what they were up to).

I wound down all windows, got out of the car opened the trunk so they could look as I moved things about...man ask what all the stuff I had i the car was for, explained we were out for a few days and was heading back home . He say ok go on your way, then some next jackarse popo say they need some details filling out...I spent another 35 mins with some giggling WPC,who could barely write (I end up filling out the form myself). When she asking if I have any Aliases said 'No', her reply was 'you do have no sexy nick-name you girlfriend does call yuh in de bedroom!'..I did explain to her that was not what they meany by alias.


anyway, that was my last experience being stopped by Police and though a complete waste of time for me they at least got to ensure they traumatised 3 other people in the process.

That's what the stoop and cough procedure is for, what's in the vault will soon come to light.

[Casper23]

At the end of the day, you are driving on the public road so yes they can demand that a search be done if probable cause is there

RS can confirm but I know for a fact that's in the SO but hold this meantime

The police, under Section 10 of the Emergency Powers Regulations 2011, have the power to “stop and search any person whom he finds in any street or other public place” who is reasonably suspected of “being in possession of firearms” or posing a threat to “public safety or order”.

Officers may seize any contraband item in relation to the above threats for as long as necessary.

Similarly, officers may enter premises without warrant to deal with potential threats.

Where a female is searched under police powers, the search must be conducted by another female.


thats a quote from the then AG during the SOE...so if it holds under a SOE sure its law under regular circumstances
