The Guyana Police Force (GPF) today issued a release which stated that it had been told by its counterpart law enforcement agency in the United States that a complaint against Attorney General Anil Nandlall had been dismissed as “frivolous and vexatious”.

The release from the GPF follows:

“Pursuant to a request of the Honourable Mohabir Anil Nandlall, SC MP, Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, the Guyana Police Force enquired from its counterpart law enforcement agency in the United States of America, whether a report was made of and against Mr. Nandlall, with the New York Police Department during the month of July 2021; and, whether Mr. Nandlall is wanted by any law enforcement agency in the United States of America.

“In response thereof, the Guyana Police Force was duly informed that a report was made against Mr. Nandlall at a precinct in Brooklyn by a Rickford Burke and that the said report was DISMISSED as frivolous and vexatious.

“Further, that Mr Nandlall was never “wanted” by any law enforcement agency in the USA in respect of that report as the offence complained of was `non- arrest-able'”.

The following statement has been issued by CGID Mr. Rickford Burke
August 17, 2021
THE GUYANA POLICE FORCE IS INTERFERING IN A CRIMINAL MATTER AGAINST ANIL NANDLALL
IN NEW YORK IN AN ATTEMPT TO PERVERT THE COURSE OF JUSTICE
I note with astonishment the attempt by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to unlawfully interject itself in a criminal matter under investigation by the New York City Police Department (NYPD). The GPF today issued a statement claiming that a matter in which the installed Guyana Attorney General Anil Nandlall is currently under Investigation ny NYPD was "dismissed as frivolous and vexatious."
This is not language which the NYPD or any other Police agency in the world uses.
If the Guyana Police Force wants to act as the personal Attorney for Anil nandlall and to lie on behalf of nandlall, it must first familiarize itself with the laws of New York State. The Police statement claims that the offence for which Nandlall is being investigated is "not an arrestable offence." This is a blatant lie. The Police report clearly states that the crime is a violation of Section 240:30 of the Laws of New York - Aggravated Harassment. The law states that "Aggravated harassment in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor," which is an arrestable offence for which, if convicted carries a one year jail sentence.
My sources in the Guyana Police Force have confirmed that Nandlall allegedly wrote this statement himself, and instructed a particular Police official to release said statement under the name of the Guyana Police Force. This is shocking evidence and confirmation that the PPP government is in collusion with elements in the GPF, and have been and are willing to abuse the GPF and the criminal justice system for their personal vendettas.
Crime is on the rise in Guyana. Executions, kidnappings, robberies and narcotics trafficking are up over 50%. Instead of the Guyana Police Force working to solve the nation's crime problems, and getting down to solving the heinous murders of Joel and Isaiah Henry, and other murders, it is busy unlawfully meddling in a personal crime committed by Anil Nandlall. Clearly, the GPF is attempting, or pretending, to act as the personal Attorney for Anil Nandlall.
Would the Guyana Police Force have intervened in a crime committed by an ordinary citizen in another jurisdiction? NO! I therefore condemn this dishonest, reckless action. It is disgraceful, brings dishonor to the GPF and Guyana and completely eviscerates the credibility of the GPF and its ability to be an unbiased, professional agency.
All citizens and organizations must condemn this attempt by the Guyana Police Force to undermine and pervert the course of Justice in the United States. CGID will pursue this matter with the US Justice and State Departments, as well as Members of Congress.
I have requested a meeting with the NYPD in this regard, and will make further remarks on this matter at the Brooklyn Diaspora Town Hall Meeting today. The meeting is scheduled for today, August, 17, 2021, at 434 Dewitt Ave Brooklyn NY 11207, at 6:30 PM. This meeting will be streamed live on social media.
Following is the Press Release by the GPF.

-- frivolous and vexatious --

frivolous = without a legal basis or legal merit; a matter that has little prospect of success; not serious, not reasonably purposeful

vexatious = harassing; maliciously instituted; devoid of reasonable or probable cause.

Interesting issues and developments.

Perhaps a statement given to the GPF or it could be an actual statement made by the GPF.

We will see how this matter develops.

Police have their roles/functions in the public.

Lawyers, Judges, Magistrates have functions in their judiciary roles.

Frivolous and/or vexatious are terms also used by the police.
