The police on last Friday seized hundreds of pornographic DVDS from itinerant vendors during a major crack down.
The police in a press release over the weekend stated that searches were conducted in the Stabroek Market, Bourda Market, Water Street and the Vendors’ Arcade areas during which three men were found selling pornographic videos. Some 189 pornographic video recordings have been seized and the three men were arrested. Charges will be instituted soon.
The move however has sparked diverse reactions from vendors and consumers.
In an interview with Kaieteur news, a vendor of the Stabroek area expressed that the action taken by the police “was nothing but bare ignorance and victimization. “One of them does come steady to we like undercover brother and buy out the Caribbean blues; like he head ain’t good.”
He explained that not being able to not sell the videos that are in high demand will certainly hinder their progress.
Four vendors explained that the local, Caribbean and American pornographic videos are usually in demand. He claimed that they make approximately $70,000 to $80,000 within two to three days on the sale of porn.
But some concerned citizens welcomed the crackdown. They claimed that some of the very vendors sell the sexually explicit videos to school girls and boys.
They were only disappointed that the officers waited only now to serve the correct action on the vendors and refuse to believe that it is only a week or two ago the police would have been informed of this issue which is one that needs serious attention.
They further implored that the officers should not only restrict their interest in alleviating the issue in the popular Stabroek and Waterloo areas but rather to other areas where the issue is also prevalent.
