The Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite is on public record agreeing to the installation of cameras in areas ‘worked’ by Customs Officers. As the minister responsible for advising the government on legal matters it is noteworthy laws do not currently […]exist to support the use of recordings in our Courts.

This is called politicians blowing hot air through the nether regions.

On the face of the issue commonsense suggest the deployment of  CCTV to monitor the interactions of Customs Officers with the public is the correct approach. However, there is the other view  to support why cameras should not be focussed on Customs Officers when conducting business with the public, especially importers. Here is an extract from the Agreement on Implementation of Article VII of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (Article 1 — 24).

Article 10

All information which is by nature confidential or which is provided on a confidential basis for the purposes of customs valuation shall be treated as strictly confidential by the authorities concerned who shall not disclose it without the specific permission of the person or government providing such information, except to the extent that it may be required to be disclosed in the context of judicial proceedings.

The admission just this week by the Attorney General runs counter to the above, a perspective worthy of consideration at a time when subversive elements have taken deep root in our small country.

    The article is a clear as daylight, Nowhere in the article does it opposed surveillance , No where ! the main objective of the article is to protect the collected information of an individual who enters ports , Nothing to do with customs officers Rights for protection , The govt has a Constitutional Right to protect the safety and integrity of a country
    The article correctly seeks to preserve a provisional a guarded constitutional right under law of an individual information not to be privy in the public domain main unless under judicial process and allowed by courts . Which therefore means that unless a person is caught engaging in illict action then and only then can such information be revealed and only if the courts deems it necessary, Again nothing to do with customs officers rights for protection,
    Without any two action one of illicit behaviuor and the courts permission to release an individual information any surveillance would remained protected by law . IF by chance such information is revealed without court permission and the individual rights has been abridged the individual has a right to seek remedy through the courts,
    Caswell is trying to hoodwinked people into a false belief that the article is addressing the custom officers right for protection His cryptic solicitous mouthings is nothing more than engaging in semantics and legal mumbo jumbo.
    Only a donkey like Bush sh,te and his accomplice speckled fowl in tow would fall for that Bull Shite,

    I just cannot see what all the fuss is about. It is obvious to the rest of the world, or those who care to investigate, that there is all kind of skullduggery going on with customs at the airport. Why would employees be against surveillance by CCTV when their own job is to do the very same, ie assume all passengers are possible suspects of smuggling or worse and surveille their very toes?
    Other airports have cameras on their staff for good reason! Theft is a major issue at airports internationally. I have never had anything stolen but I know plenty of tourists and regular travellers who have been treated like a source of personal revenue by not just the occasional official but at the highest level at GAIA. I’ve complained to Virgin about uniformed check-in staff demanding arbitrary sums. Respectable people I personally know well have arbitrarily been deemed upon arrival to be unwelcome, told to leave or else pay a massive sum so they can come into the country!
    If there is a good reason these individuals are deemed as unwelcome, why then to let them in as long as they pay a demanded $US10,000!!!? Meantime just being an ordinary passenger with ordinary luggage?
    There should be no grey area about such events, all too common these days. Unless the person is a threat to national security, all such interviews should be recorded on CCTV. If the person is suspected of criminal activity, the camera recordings of their detention by customs can be noting but useful to the authorities.
    Now as far as employees at the airport are concerned, they need to be watched. If they are not doing anything wrong, why should they mind?

    “If they are not doing anything wrong, why should they mind?”

    It is obvious that their have something to hide because who in their right mind wouldn’t want/wish camera-surveillance- which acts as an deterrent to the unscrupulous conduct where by ensure the right kind of working-environment?

    Caswell Franklyn’s, very defence shows how primitive an attitude he has or he wishes to encourage amongst the Custom officials in Barbados regarding the camera surveillance.

    Those of us who live in America, Canada, and the United Kingdom knows quite well that it is impossible today to go to any government institution without having some sort of camera-surveillance direct at you or the personnel who works there. And you could argue against it when one sees the benefits to be derived from having such a piece in one’s place of employment?

    Caswell Franklyn, this is the way we do business in the wider-world today, and you better get with the program if your interesting in seeing Barbados progress from its primitive state to a more advance one. And those of your sort who think that it is a bad idea to have this piece of camera-surveillance directed at them too bad.You need to suck it up as their say in the military and drive on.

    Caswell, it is not your call neither that of the Customs officers, it is the reputation and image of our country that is at stake here sir. So if the government think it best to install this piece of surveillance equipment to ensure the proper conduct within this working-environment, then I am sure and I do know that it is a valid concern.

    It seems to me when some people have a propensity to interpret situations to suit their own purposes or political agenda.

    When did Caswell ever stated or implied that he or Custom Officers are against the installation of surveillance cameras at ports of entry?

    Customs is regarded as a law enforcement agency. Since officers have to conduct interviews, searches of passengers’ luggage and engage in activities that are sensitive in nature.

    Under these circumstances, they are of the opinion that persons from an external agency SHOULD NOT be charged with the operation of the cameras. These functions should be performed by customs officials.

    Similar to a SPOILT LITTLE GIRL who is deprived of having “her own way,” she will resort to exhibiting paroxysmal behaviour, characterized by temper tantrums, a tirade of insults and pejorative descriptions of her “enemies”.

    Reminds me of days gone by when a woman, who may “grudge” another woman for the type of house, education, job or even the type of man they have, would stand in the streets in front of her “enemy’s” house, hold up her dress and “block.” She would keep repeating the same cuss words and insults over, and over and over.

    What do these two children recently lost in incidents of purported and proven child abuse have to do with this Customs Officer Issue and Cameras?

    We are a people who love to deal with issues after the fact, after the loss of life, after the abuse of privileges, after the $5M disappears to your mother’s bank account, bless her recently departed soul, and may GOD have mercy on yours

    Afterwards!!

    Customs officers are one of the last defence mechanisms against contraband and other undesirable contents for a 166 sq mile country.

    It would be a stupid man or woman to say that we do not need customs officers. So we agree that their jobs are needed.

    Let us now reason together.

    What is the issue at contention is not that there should not be cameras either because it is agreed that (i) it is a prerequisite of Customs work by all countries (ii) it records what transpired during an examination of containers/luggage/crates and (iii) it records who interacts with the various packages and other sensitive contents like peoples personal shipped items.

    We all agree that there are bad apples in any, and many a bunch, and we therefore can understand that, barring having a policeman permanently on duty watching those who guard, then cameras will allow us to be more efficient with our times.

    One night I was in de airport when Ms. Ram came through with 18 bags on a flight from Murica. One uh de sons did sen fun me en de madam tuh come tuh ** fuh a visit.

    Ms Ram had so many bags that it too 4 red caps to carry them out the airport where a big van met her to transport them wherever.

    I was there when the Customs man asked her “anything to declare” she answered “no” and he stamped her blue customs card and she walked out the arrivals lounge with 4 black menses in tow.

    The point is that that customs officer like the Gollop fellow at the airport, was tiefing from the government coffers.

    If a camera was there at least, while it was still possible that the officers who were monitoring the checkpoints, and the customs officers and the persons checking the surveillance tapes could all be in cahoots, at least if they were not, and it was 10 bags of cocaine being shipped in, someone would have seen the shipment.

    Cswell Franklyn is not saying that there should not be cameras to capture all of this activity, he is just saying that outsourcing that function to the Manager of the City of Bridgetown Credit Union, to call a name just to be facetious, does not make sense.

    When I as de outside monitoring agency know who wukking pun de 10.30 shift from Murica pun a Wednesday, and kin tell lord Evil or dat fellow wid 15 empty restaurants dat nuhbody doan really eat at, but seem tuh be a cover fuh illegal gains, when I kin tell dem fellows who does be in de airport or transit shed when my luggage or baggage coming thru causing I, even doah i ent no customs officer, got access to dat info, den it is evident dat I planning tuh smuggle in tings dem, by way of this inside information.

    Cameras have revealed much in recent times and none more important than the blatant disregard for the lives of some young men. Cameras cannot harm honest people and Barbados cannot afford dishonest people. Cameras should also be placed in classrooms.

    This camera in Customs business came up before many years ago under Leroy’s tenure. He said at the time that he was not against cameras, but he had some conditions that had to be met before the Union approved. I spoke to him personally, and he agreed with me that cameras could also protect the staff from malicious clients. I, after all these years was under the impression that there were cameras at the Port, at least. I told my late departed mother and others that they don’t have to lock their barrels as there were cameras there. I have sent barrels to my great aunt without locks or tape as well. Nothing was taken.

    What boggles my mind is why the government backed down re the cameras. Was Sir Roy talking through both corners of his mouth?

    piece

    The government of Barbados is ahead of the game because practically everything in this country is outsourced.

    Take for example the transit system in the state of Connecticut, which is outsouced by the state government to several private bus companies, but the state still oversight with the rules and regulations.

    Piece, it is more economical for the state government because for one: the drivers aren’t state employees, so their are not entitled the expensive pension package etc. So what is wrong with outsourcing camera surveillance to a private entity in Barbados. The DLP government is far a head of the game, but we have asshole like Caswell Franklyn trying to insult the collective psyche of a nation with an argument which appeals to ignorance.

    The other side of the debate suggest Barbados is a small (2×3) country, every body is a brother, sister, cousin etc and the need to shield information takes on greater importance than in the bigger countries with bigger geographies and a more impersonal setup. It is a point which has merit knowing how Barbados operates. Even the AG admitted last week the Customers Officers have a point on the outsourcing of the supervision of surveillance of the workspace of Customers Officers. In law Customer Officers are responsible for border protection, only them.

    Piece

    This is an accurate account of a story which occurred quite a few years ago: I took a friend of mine to the US Immegration to see about her citizenship, and it so happened that the guard and I started talking casually, and something prompted me to ask him if the federal government paid him well? And to my surprise he said to me that:” He wasn’t a federal employee, and that the security company he was employed by contracted with federal government to performed the security for the federal entity where he was employed.”

    And yet this private security company was charged with manning the camera-surveillance at this federal establishment. So Caswell, why would there be a problem if the same course is followed in Barbados?

    What some people have fail to comprehend is the fact that even though the federal or state governments outsources these jobs, the employees are still subject to some of the same legal sanctions as the regular federal or state employee.

    So I would assume that even those the government of Barbados outsource this job to a private entity, that this private entity must operate within the prescribed guidelines, or else it will be subject to legal sanctions.

    So I do not see how by employing a private entity to man surveillance at Customs in Barbados would in any way compromised or impede upon he constitutional rights of an employ? When such camera surveillance can address some of the improprieties in that working environment.

    Having a man guard who is a private contractor working at an office IS NOT THE SAME as hiring that private contractor as a CIA or FBI agent CAN YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD?

    DO YOU KNOW OF THE BLACKWATER INCIDENT IN IRAQ?

    That was a classic experiment of “hiring private sector employees to do the job that the military should do, gone wrong!!

    THere are certain jobs that are central to national SECURITY THAT YOU CANNOT OUTSOURCE.

    Let me break it down for you in language that you can understand, because it seems that only by using crudeness will break common sense break through into your ROCK STONE BRAIN.

    You have children right?

    Imagine that on the night you got married to your wife (bless her soul) that, you in your normal exemplary brilliance decided that, in order for you to to secure progeny, that you were going to assign that task to the gardener, or to one of the neighbours who pulled you out of the fire in C******.

    Now I want you to stick with me here.

    The outcome, as long as the neighbour and/or the gardener were not impotent or sterile and that your wife was fertile and receptive would be the same as if you did the task, would it not?

    Why then did you not outsource that task of, as the Bajans say, breeding you wife”? Some might be inclined to say that it might have meant that the donkey gene would have ended with you but I am not going to encourage that type of thinking and cry shame on them all.

    Notwithstanding Dufus, that is the point that Caswell Franklyn has been saying to you and other readers of this submission.

    THERE ARE SOME FUNCTIONS THAT YOU DO NOT OUTSOURCE LEST YOU DILUTE THE GENE AND, in addtion to “muh fadder ent muh fadder but muh fadder ent know, CRETINS ARE THE OFFSPRING!!

    DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW?

    Good. now I can cancel the AA plane ticket that I paid for Mr. Sealy from St Leonards School now at the Nation to come to C********* with the special plaited DOG Hunter and to beat you within an inch of your life, AGAIN, with the hope that a little light would go off in your head you would not revert to this topic again with such simplistic reasoning.

    So oh sinful one who is so wrought with his imprecise view how can you continue to compare the large US Fed Gov’t use of private security in the ‘office’ environment of p’port processing to the border control aspects in what David accurately call a 2X3 island?

    Didn’t the US also employ the BlackWater private soldiers to fight and provide security in Iraq and beyond. Do you contemplate that is a ‘outsourcing’ practice that would work in a small country too?

    There are some processes that are not ideal for small governments and in this matter your POV is not shared by the majority here. It is clearly understood though. Do you even understand the opposing views.

    This cam matter is really a minor point to elicit your repeated noise.

    What You (David) and Caswell fails to realize that both of your positions is contrary and confrontational to the Rule of good governance. Your Positions be that of opposing how the cameras should be placed and who should be allowed to carry out the surveillance short circuits the very purpose and full functioning of the surveillance objective.
    Furthermore what is there not to prevent another dissenting opinion by other govt employees supported by Unions one similar in nature to apply the same strategy with an opposing view if and when another govt office needs tightened security.
    isn’t the Job of govt to regulate all necessary functionalities that would secure a safe environment or is it the role of employees and Unions to oversee the functioning roles pertaining to the Nations security?
    Isn;t it a Constitutional Right duty bound that all matters involving the national security of a country must be maintained and controlled by govt
    It therefore boggles the mind that A Union any Union would step into an area of National security to breach a Constitutional Right which gives the government the right to controll and take measures of protection if and when the National security of a nation is threatened.
    For the Union to leapfrog over the Constitution as if it doesn’t matter to issue dictates or directives in the best interest of the employee against the rule of law truly boggles the mind

    Have you ever been out of Barbados? How would know what is or what isn’t suitable or what would or would not work for a small island, when you haven’t even been to St.John in Barbados?

    It take more than writing a load bullshit day in day out on BU to understanding what ought and ought working in a small island.
    It take a practical experience to know what would work for a small island and not the load crasp you call theory that you continually spew on BU daily.

    Nevertheless, you have the audacity, the temerity, and unmitigated-gall to insult my intelligent with your know it all attitude by asking if I understand what is meant by an opposing viewpoint. Yes Ignorant I do!

    I have not yet spoken on this matter. Nobody called me for a comment. Just want to add though that Bajans pontificate on things of which they know little or nothing. We have to curtail the tendency to be ‘influential’ by trying to prove that we know. This approach is destroying the Country. Each one teach one. None is bigger/ more powerful than the other.
