Bywarren, whats wrong with my English? I know a lot about English. Contractions aren't necessary,don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary;its highly superfluous,one word sentences. Eliminate!,prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

Latin Elbert, not English, is the language in question.

I know very little about how this works in Belize but my two questions in this would be. Was in fact a warrant issued to enter and search the compound and was it a no knock type warrant? Second, it there was a warrant or legal basis and I hope there was, just what was the justification and who authorized it?

From the above information with a little common sense you may be able to judge if the whole action was appropriate and I would like to think that everyone involved acted appropriately.

Exactly, Ragman. This is what I hope will be investigated and reported.

Elbert: do you, or anyone else know, if Belize differenciates between a no knock and a knock and announce type warrant.

Warren no such thing here. You can get a warrant to search for drugs and weapons based on suspicion. In my view this raid was triggered by his previous refusal to allow them to enter his compound and look. So they came back with a warrant to search a place loaded with guns and dogs and so brought sufficient force so they would not be turned away as before. Had he not previously refused to cooperate when they wanted in he would have been treated differently, I think. Not good to [#%!] off the police for no reason.

My understanding is that the police in Belize are not required to have a warrant to search your home or property. If the raid was authorized and based on rumors alone, that would be quite frightening.....

Thanks for that info Mike. Do you know what happens in a case when the police conduct such a raid and cause damage when no illegality was found? I am speaking hypothetically as not all the facts are known in this case. Is the affected person entitled to any recourse or do they just get a statement "Whoops, our mistake, sorry".
