Quality of Life crimes; you may be charged effective immediately

The murder conviction rate for the country by all accounts is less than three percent. The proverbial 'old beef' that seems to be the cause of so much retaliation amongst gang members remains unsolved and unchecked. Employment at the Ministry of Works has been one measure that would keep some youths out of criminal activity. The latest measure to be implemented may sound trivial, but it may take regular citizens such as teachers and possibly even minors on an uncomfortable trip to the police station. According to the release, the Police Department is embarking on a Quality of Life Campaign. The public is warned that offenses such as public drinking, loitering, and littering are against the law. Cyclists are warned reminded that riding contrary to the flow of traffic is an offense as well as carrying an additional person on a bicycle and could result in both persons being charged. After a possible warning, fines can be levied against all offenders. This will be an ongoing campaign and the police department is asking for public support. The release from the department also says that enforcement comes effective immediately. So early tomorrow morning you may want to go and purchase a light and a bell for your bicycle.
