Attorney complains after getting ticket

Sources revealed that when PC Guevara approached the attorney and informed him that he was in breach of the traffic laws, the attorney told the officer he (the attorney) was on the phone speaking with the Acting Commissioner of Police.

The attorney then asked PC Guevara if he did not know who he was. The officer proceeded to write up the ticket. Sources revealed that the attorney later complained to senior police officers about being issued the ticket, prompting Snr Supt Jacob of Port-of-Spain Division to assign Supt Mohamme to investigate the attorney’s complaints.

Newsday also understands that a formal report was lodged with the Police Complaints Authority by the indignant attorney.

Contacted yesterday, the attorney would neither confirm nor deny the incident saying he would not make any comment to the media. Newsday understands that Supt Mohammed has requested information from the police constable who issued the ticket. It remained unclear whether or not the attorney had paid the $1,000 fine.
