The house Helen built

Gary: T&T's camouflage laws 'dumb and ridiculous'
“What I understood, however, is that when I was the Minister of National Security, through Customs, there was a misinterpretation of that law and they extended that law to be as ridiculous as it can be. If a child has an orange camouflage toy, if a lady has a blue camouflage short pants that is illegal," he said.

Griffith, who said the law serves no purpose, added: “That does nothing to make people safer. It is a very dumb law, and we are bombarded on a regular basis with tourists coming in with camouflage and then they are either going to be embarrassed and our country is also embarrassed."
