Last time I checked Belize is a democracy run under British law. Something inherited on gaining independence.
As it happens I am an ex British cop 22 years service (inspector retired)
As I understand it McAfee is legitimately wanted for questioning, by openly avoiding this he is at best being a drama queen and at worst being unhelpful.
This is a serious criminal offence. The powers that be need to treat it seriously.
If they think it is credible that he is in a secreted safe room on his premises they are entitled to search him out, no warrant required.
Take the TV cameras with them, tear his place apart and either find him and arrest him or satisfy themselves he is not there.
If arrested interview him and then along with other considered evidence either charge him, bail him pending further enquires or release.
At this point they will then be able to regroup and evaluate the investigation.
If he is not detained he should be severely cautioned re future behaviour as regards wasting police time and resources. If he is detained he can face the consequences.
This person is not special, he does not warrant treatment that would be different to anyone else either preferential or deferential.
How hard can it be !!!!!
