Police in the Canadian province of Quebec warned citizens against posting surveillance footage of their packages being stolen because it could violate the "private life" of the alleged thieves.

"Montreal West is known for its large porches, but around the holidays, those porches are a big target for thieves or ‘porch pirates,’" CTV News Montreal videojournalist Olivia O’Malley reported on Saturday. "’It's something we deal with on a daily basis,’ said Montreal West councilor responsible for public security Lauren Small-Pennefather.

"You have people that are following the vehicles, and when they see a parcel that's dropped off, they then go and take the parcel if nobody comes to the door to retrieve the parcel," Small-Pennefather told CTV.

However, the province’s local police force, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) warned local citizens against sharing footage of alleged porch thieves.

"You cannot post the images yourself because you have to remember, in Canada, we have a presumption of innocence and posting that picture could be a violation of private life," SQ communications officer Lt. Benoit Richard warned.

"If you get some proof that somebody might have stolen something, call the police, give that proof to the police," he said. "We'll do the investigation, bring that person to justice and file some charges."

People who post security footage of their packages being stolen could face potential defamation charges, according to CTV.

Protect the criminal not the victim

There is a fantastic amount of recent evidence that criminals are a main part of the liberal base of voters.

Looks like Canadian Liberalism is just as bad as it is here in the States. Maybe worse since they don’t have a Second Amendment.

Funny, the research I'm seeing points to the candidates and office holders being the criminals.

Like supports like.

Instead of posting video/pic's of "A thief", maybe post them as a "Do you know who this is".

Put some trash in the Amazon boxes and tape the back up so they look real.
Put the boxes back on the porch for the thieves.

Or just blast them with some 00 buck and video the blood trail

That's why it's called the Criminal Justice system....Thay are the Only ones getting Justice

Yeah.

Can anyone identify the corpse in this video/photo ?

there is strong scientific evidence that formerly breathing criminals don't have the recidivism rate of their currently breathing counterparts.
