DCP Operations Junior Benjamin says the implementation of laws mandating people to always have national identification them will make policing easier.
Speaking at a post-cabinet media briefing on July 10, Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander said the move is in an effort for the police to enforce proposed changes which would raise the legal age limit to consume alcohol, use marijuana and gamble.
On July 7, at a political platform in Penal the Prime Minister proposed increasing the legal age to drink alcohol from 18 to 21 and increasing the age to smoke marijuana and gamble from 18 to 25.
