WEIRD RUMOR FROM THE TWIN TOWNS OF WESTERN BELIZE

WIERD RUMOR FROM THE TWIN TOWNS OF WESTERN BELIZE. IS THIS, IF TRUE; A STEP BACK INTO COLONIAL MENTALITY?

Seems the police were going around the stores on Sunday forcing them to close. Wonder why that is? Some kind of religious fanatical thing, or what? On the Cayes all the stores were open as usual. Thank God! Allah! or Whatever. How would you eat if you cannot buy food? Or cater to tourists.
If this is the law, that has never before been enforced, the police are probably doing the right thing to pressure this new government of UDP, to bring the laws more in tune with the times. I wonder if they are doing the same for bicycles, with licenses, and headlights and horns and all that stuff?

CONTRIBUTED COMMENT ON EASTER WEEKEND ABOUT LACK OF BRAINS IN BELMOPAN GOVERNMENT AND MEDIEVAL RELIGIOUS POLICE PERSECUTION.

"The stores were closed all day on Friday and when the Chinese shopkeeper opened his store at 6:30 pm, 15 minutes later the police came and forced him to close. It's not just that tourism provides 25% of jobs in Belize or that it contributes to 18% of GDP and forcing businesses to remain closed on Sundays and other holidays cuts off part of the GOB's income, since tourists can't find places to spend their money, but also the fact that a large number of Belizeans don't own refrigerators and thus are dependent on daily food shopping, that makes this medieval law, which the police seem very keen on enforcing recently, a highest form of insanity. Why is this law still on the books and why are they spending time and effort to enforce it while they can't cope with basic issues of public safety? Isn't there anyone in Belmopan with functioning cerebral cortex who'd scrape this imbecilic piece of legislation off the books or at least tell the police to go chase criminals and mindless jerks "driving" on the roads?"
