High Court Rules Police Searches Illegal | Trinidad and Tobago News

High Court rules police raids on Tobago House of Assembly official Zorisha Hackett’s home and office were illegal, calling the operation unnecessary and disproportionate — a major victory for Hackett, who claims the probe was politically motivated. She’s been awarded costs and will get all seized items back. This isn’t the first time the court has sided against police in the “audiogate” probe: searches of other top officials, including Deputy Chief Secretary Faith Brebner and even the Chief Secretary, were also deemed unlawful. As for the investigation’s current status? Officials are tight-lipped — the Tobago Division says it’s not involved, and the Homeland Security Minister remains unreachable, leaving the future of the probe uncertain.
