Q:
After reading this Trinidad Express news article, can you tell me what law (if any) these protesters would have broken?
A:
Laws
were broken from the very first paragraph of the article, which reads:
“Commissioner of Police, Gary Griffith, has launched an investigation
into a report that about 15 persons blocked Bridge Road, Sangre Grande, with burning debris last night in protest of the reported removal of COVID-19 patients from
the Couva Hospital to a building in their area.”
According
to the Summary Offences Act 1921, as amended:
64. (1) Any person who commits any of the following offences in any
street is, for each offence, liable to a
fine of two hundred dollars or to imprisonment for one month, that is to say, any person who:
…
(j) throws or lays down any stone, timber, or
any other materials
…
(n) in any way wilfully obstructs the free
passage of any street
