You may want to re-check that story. Why would someone agree to a one way fare when they had to return to the ship? The taxi driver attempted to double the fare (common in Antigua) and when he realized that the tourists wouldn’t be intimidated by him alone, he called his friend or relative at the police station and the police allowed him to enter a gated, restricted zone, essentially trapping the tourists, who were similarly not intimidated by third world thugs in uniforms. This sort of thing is common in Antigua. The fact that they tried it on tourists with the guts to stand up to them is the reason this is in the news.

If it was a situation where he called a friend or relative, that person would eventually lose their job over that small amount of money those youngsters refuse to pay. his is a situation where that said taxi man could have made himself clear and the ‘future lawyer’ and her friends could have carried themselves better in a foreign country.
It would have been nice to hear the story from all aspects though. One of these girls actually bit out a piece of one of the policewoman’s back. I personally think that that was one of the dumbest thing a person could do to a police.
