Busi­ness­man Michael St John is su­ing the Com­mis­sion­er of Po­lice (CoP) af­ter the Trinidad and To­ba­go Po­lice Ser­vice’s (TTPS) data­base in­cor­rect­ly list­ed him for years as a con­vict­ed drug deal­er, im­pact­ing his rep­u­ta­tion.

St John is the own­er of Tow­er Pro­mo­tion Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed and D’Di­al Fit­ness. Ac­cord­ing to one of St John’s at­tor­neys, Om Lal­la, the data­base mat­ter should be of con­cern to every cit­i­zen be­cause seem­ing­ly any­one could have il­le­git­i­mate charges to their name, un­der­min­ing their abil­i­ty to ob­tain visas to trav­el abroad or af­fect­ing their liveli­hoods.
