And who can forget Belmopan resident Anwar Zetina? He got away with driving his car recklessly on December 20, even though he was busted by police without a valid driver's license driving an unlicensed vehicle.
He was detained, and even though charge sheets were prepared for reckless driving, driving without a valid driver's license, driving an unlicensed motor vehicle, and using insulting words – the charges were never lodged in court.
It is believed that due to his UDP political connections, those charges got buried. In the context of Gino Peck and Reynaldo Verde, we asked the Commissioner to comment on that case, and he told us he wasn't quite informed on that one:
Daniel Ortiz
"This ties right in with another case Mr. Anwar Zetina, who is believed to political ties in the UDP, where he was supposed to be charge for wreckless driving and driving without a license. The charge sheets were prepared but that case was buried. So, it's another case where it seems as if though uneven treatment under the law is being applied. Can you comment on that aspect?"
Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"Well, in regards to that case, I'm not certain, and so, I would have to check into that one, but I am certain that the Verde one, I am familiar with."
