Dear Editor,
Some of us in Jamaica must seemingly live in a fantasy land.
How does any sensible person, especially a police officer, explain how a driver of a bus is stopped and checked by the police, a breathalyzer test is administered which shows that the driver's blood alcohol ratio is over the legal limit, and then he is sent on his way?
So what happens? Ten minutes later he crashes the bus because, according to the police, he was speeding, and causes severe injury to several passengers.
Why wasn't the driver arrested and charged at the first interaction and the bus seized and parked for safekeeping? Why would that menace be allowed to continue driving? When will this sort of foolishness end?
In a world that makes sense and is inhabited by rational human beings, the officers who first stopped him should at the very least be charged with dereliction of duty.
