No Bail Yet for Senior Superintendent Harry Daley

HARRY_BUNGLES_1_edit.jpgSenior Superintendent Harry 'Bungles' Daley was yesterday charged with six counts of extortion and six counts of breaching the Corruption Prevention Act in the Resident Magistrate's Court in Half Way Tree.

He was arrested on Thursday of last week, following allegations from the owner of a plaza that the Senior Superintendent had demanded $20,000 per month or one of his shops in return for his assistance in helping him deal with the extortion of some of his shops. The complainant later reported Harry Daley to the police Anti-Corruption Branch. In February of this year the complainant was out-fitted with police video and voice surveillance devices with which he recorded each time Daley collected the $20,000.

On the day of his arrest, Daley was taped by the complainant accepting marked money, which was later found on his person when he was apprehended. He is presently being held at the Horizon Park Remand Center. So far no bail has been set.

Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, Dirk Harrison, requested that the senior resident magistrate, Glen Brown, remand Daley until Friday as the occurrence of threats and intimidation tactics have made him fear for the safety of the witnesses. Defence counsel, Valerie Neita-Robertson objected by reminding the court that "there is a witness protection programme in place and measures can be put in place to protect the witnesses if needs be." She also added that she fears for the health and well-being of her client as his health has deteriorated since his incarceration and that he is locked up with convicts who he may have placed there himself.

RM Brown stated that he would return his decision in the matter today.

They should make an example out of this corrupt cop. Police like him should be punished to the extent of the law. No wonder citizens are afraid to report crime to them because even though there are good cops within the force you can't identify the bad ones so easily. Can you imagine the amount of corruption he has done to our little island. Keep him locked up!

if the law of jamaica was listing to the citizen of jamaica ,jamaica would be a better place today.if you are in problem you cant run to the police because they are the bigest criminals in jamaica. i could remember listeing to a police officer telling a law abideing citizen that if he take him to court who he think the judge is going to lisen to and he said me not you,tears come to my eyes but today i can see if it was not for every one life that is at risk at the hands of crimenal jamaica would not listen to its people,those police in jamaica they are just cowboys and murders.

this just goes to prove furthur that the force is full of corruption from top to bottom. Yes there are a few, i repeat a few good ones left in the force but it seems as if there are more bad than good.

Retribution is hell of s thing. Who to tell if this is not him a the 'big man 'behind the killing of Douglas Chambers. Him did want extortion money from him to finance Clans and One Orda so that they can keep the peace and make him look good in the eyes of the people of St. Catherine and the police force. Word pon the street is that Douglas did say him a go tell Bruce and Mike bout it. A the same thing Bungles used do when him did down a Denham Town - West Kingston. But hell! No him start Passa Passa. Him in guns for drugs too!

Well Jamaicans people Harry have done a lot of good, people he has done million of good he have made a err don't do that he deserve better he has helped me. He is a good man with a good helping heart, he has given me money to go to school and millions of other children. He done a lot of good, he help inner city communities to achieve goals of peace, form clubs in these communities and create better atmosphere for all. Prosecutors he is good man he made a mistake give him a chance don't be too hard on him. He deserve a second chance.

NO LENIENCY. HE MUST BE MADE AN EXAMPLE OF. HIS ARRESTS & CONVICTION CASES MUST BE RE-VISITED TO ENSURE THAT THE RIGHT DECISIONS WERE RENDERED AS WELL AS TO RESTORE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE COUNTRY'S JUSTICE SYSTEM.

The chain of trust has been broken but hopefully the rebuilding process will be easy since it would be Policemen who arrested their own.The system works,and the hardworking men and women of the Police Force should be applauded.
