It's funny how you think your decisions would have been better. If you made any type of decision like this it would be more than 4 casualties.
@@Horsewrangler780it’s funny how u think chasing a suspect going in the opposite lane is a good idea. this is 2024, there are a plethora of ways to track and catch a suspect. and by the way, the final report will definitely not align with your stance on how this should be handled. grow up.
@DB-gl3jx alright chief inspector...
Consider how many people get away, there is no plethora of ways... police and govt. are always playing catchup, not the other way around.
@@DB-gl3jx it's funny that you think cops ending the chase isn't going to result in the same outcome, if not worse.
4 lives including an innocent infant lost chasing liquor thieves. the cops that made this wrong call should be held accountable.
So the psycho who was willing to rob, hold at knife point, and endanger 100's of lives on the highway isn't a threat to society? Who's supposed to stop crime if cops can't pursue dangerous criminals?
Exactly 👆
Why don’t we focus on this and dig deeper to the root cause 😤😤😤
@@Superg0atObviously he should be stopped, but not at the risk of everyone else
@@relaz9569 Lol well *everyone is at risk* if the violent criminal who has zero regard for human-life gets to run free.
"The risk of everyone else" is brought on by the criminal who is willing to endlessly escalate risk at the expense of countless innocent lives, not the ones trying to stop it.
By your concept - the more risky/violent/dangerous someone is - the more likely they are to get away and continue committing violent crime.
That's a pretty poor method of Law Enforcement, or maintaining any sort of structured society.
@@Superg0at there's other means of catching a criminal that don't involve chasing them at high speed on the wrong side of the highway
So, we are supposed to leave our fobs at the front door for the crooks but cops can use their "best judgement", and pursue a crook, against the flow of traffic no less, and put everyone at risk ?
He stole from the government, big difference.
i was thinking about a helicopter the minute i heard of this tragedy and even the news lady commented about it, seems like a big fail using common sense
Ontario has none
@@dannydevito2989Durham does tho
@@PPP-xl1cnclearly Durham does not.
clearly ? use some common sense helicopter was definitely being called in, the pursuit didnt last long enough for it to even start its engines.... some of us get chased by this so called non existent durham helicopter everyweekend, go watch some vice tv and see what happens in the GTA at night when your sleeping
@@Icepressathe chase went on for 34 KM in the wrong the wrong direction, with 12 police vehicles. Even if the helicopter was being called in, they had 34 KM to come up with a better plan. The OPP, which has a highway safety division stationed on the eastbound lanes in Whitby, could have barricaded that section of the highway.
Lots of stuff went wrong here, and it looks more like the cops chose willful wanton and reckless behaviour all to chase down this driver.
A family is in complete grief. Their infant and parents are dead because of both the police and U-Haul driver’s reckless actions and disregard for every human being on that highway, at that time.
It obviously wasn't the "best judgement" to chase anyone on the wrong side of a highway, was it? Especially the notorious 401.
So they should just abandon chasing them? Leave the crazy dude flying down the hwy the wrong way???
@@147salsa Yes. There were cop cars chasing on the right side of the road. And as they discussed in the video, they have a helicopter specifically for this purpose. You wouldn't be asking this question if the innocent people who died were people you know.
@@147salsa yes, 100% he wouldn’t be going that fast if he wasn’t being chased. And what’s the cops plan anyways, to hit them with their car with 100s of other cars on the road???
@@147salsa Yes, that's exactly what they should have done instead of escalating it and pushing it that far.
Putting lives at risk for petty theft is ridiculous.
Very foolish move killed four people should Not MADE THST CALL INSANE
Three innocent people and one criminal
Yeah, psychopath criminals have no regard for Law or human life. Pretty "foolish".
Judge should never have let him out on bail in the first place! Don't blame the cops. Blame the judge and the liberal government
Politicians stealing Billions, and they do nothing, some idiot robs a liquor store and they loose their mind
What politicians are you referring to?
@@plrt6794did you not pay attention to thousands of years of history? Are you sick?
The cop who actively pursued him on the wrong side of the highway should be blamed for the accident. Cops in most cases would have called off the pursuit if the chase would have endangered someone. And that's what happened, the pursuit of this guy cause him to continue driving recklessly which he wiped out an entire family.
How about you BLAME THE CRIMINAL!!!!
What an absolute joke blaming the cops.
Maybe the criminal who robbed and fled and CHOSE to drive down the highway.
Also if the cops abandoned chasing once he got on the hwy u think he would stop 😂😂😂
@@147salsa Absolute brainrot of a reply. There have been countless cases/dashcam footage where polices had to stop pursuing because the criminal running away would have endangered the public with reckless driving and that's what should have been done.
And ya the criminal would have been less aggressive once he realized nobody was chasing him which he would have probably eased off the gas or gotten off the highway as nobody was chasing him.
It's just literal common sense which apparently you and the other cop apologists here don't have.
Edit: Oh and news articles are now showing that the cops have been called off to stop pursuing the suspects and yet they still did. I think the cops involved in the chase SHOULD be blamed for the accident.
Fr! Seeing everyone blame the officers - but why did we get here in the first place? Because the criminal! And not pursuing doesn’t mean the criminal is just gonna stop… I’ve seen several cases where the criminal just continues on and gets into a fatal crash anyways 🤷🏾♂️ we’ve gotta start holding the right people accountable. If you want a defined and better pursuit policy, that’s fine by me - but we’ve also got to start blaming criminals instead of victimizing them.
@@147salsa The police are also to blame.
@@147salsa you’re all over the comment section eh? lol. If the off duty officer had of just followed the suspect instead of engaging him, the police could have just followed him to whatever party he was heading to and busted him there. Instead, they chase him, making the suspect panic and flee. When stressed and panicking people usually make irrational decisions, like turning onto the 401 the wrong way. Also, if the police had of backed off after the chase went to the highway the suspect may have thought he got away and slowed down/pulled over to ditch the vehicle and bail. Continuing to chase him made him more and more panicked and caused irrational behaviour. There are so many other ways this could have been handled. They could have shut down the highway ahead to stop the suspect, police chopper, anything else. The more cars going the wrong way just adds to the danger. Think.
Sue Durham police for public endangerment.
I agree, the cops must be charged and sue. Let’s everyone get together and say that the police gave me ptsd…. For them using their discretion…
Prayers to the family. We need accountability! This is what a complete lack of common senses looks like.
Durham, OPP & all other police forces across this country need to learn what accountability is.
It wasnt opp's fault you bafoon
The OPP were telling Durham cops to call it off. The expert traffic cops knew this was a disaster waiting to happen. But action men gotta protect their crew … and F everyone else!
Multi Million dollar civil lawsuit settlement incoming for the affected families. Pure incompetence and negillience. Our tax dollars will have to pay for this pathetic mess
The boy let him out....don't lose sight of the facts
Doubtful.
So who would you blame if cops did nothing and the robber killed anyway?
Not in Canada, they'll be lucky if they see a dime.
The police seems wreckless and I'm worried for us..
Common sense to stop the pursuit when it becomes too dangerous when police fail to stop the chase this is called ::Cowboy syndrome::😢😢😢
What no one realizes on here is once this guy decided to go the wrong way on the highway the police now have a duty to try to stop him because the danger of letting him go driving the wrong direction at vehicles travelling 100+ km/h at him outweighs the danger of attempting to stop him. They’d be responsible for making no effort to stop him at that point.
@@feral4112 No? they'd have no reason to be on that side anymore and they have their plate.
Bs. If there is no chase almost always the driver slows down and stop driving so recklessly to get away...
Keep chasing and drivers actions only intensify. This is why so many states and provinces have no chase clauses especially for motorcycles.

@@Superg0at it was a statement!!
I don’t think I mentioned anything about a lawless world at ALL!
Cops can't resist a situation like this. Why? Because as with lawyers and doctors we have a completely skewed idea of what most cops do day to day because of TV and movies. Most of it is boring. Writing tickets is boring. Doing paperwork regarding stolen cars is boring, taking statement is boring. That is why if there is any hint of action every cop in the vicinity comes running. It is because the day to day is boring. Just look how many cars show up to arrest one homeless guy or the like. You'll literally have 20+ cops taking down one suspect.
Funny how that works eh?
exactly this
Exactly👍🏿
Artifacts especially in Durham , they be reaching for action
So many states in the US have fully abandoned any pursuits let alone one that takes place going the wrong way down a major highway. Easily one of the stupidest things they could have done.
So these us states will ignore someone going down the highway after kidnapping a child?
@@yoshiwoollyworld they use choppers to track, they start talking the squad cars into their direction for a planned takedown where they have more control over public safety. what were they supposed to do? pit the uhaul into oncoming traffic at 150km/h? what purpose could they possibly serve other than causing more risk to the public? please explain.
@@seanprice7645 maybe it was risky chasing this car but if the police let the suspect go and he gets into a collusion that kills others, wouldn’t they get blamed for not chasing the suspect?
@@yoshiwoollyworld no. all they did was add *more* risk for the crash because they are *chasing* someone who is going the wrong way on the highway. when someone is being actively chased.. they tend to *take more risk* and *speed.* like i said, they had no options to stop the chase on the highway, so why chase on the highway? there are 0 positives you gain from it. only negatives.
Whoever released the criminal should be held accountable
Released. Was he in jail before?
Agreed. The judge is responsible for allowing this animal to be out on bail.
This guy was just released on bail no ?
Maybe we should ask that question
@@SMOOVKILL1 You need to ask?
Yup we need to get to the root of the problem. Judges and liberals being soft on crime
they shouldnt pursuit on the wrong way. an innocent infant died because of an lcbo robbery. come on man. it was not worth it at all.
What makes you think this wouldn’t have happened if they stopped once the guy went the wrong way? In all likelihood, he still would have got in a collision because he’s driving like a mad man head on in to traffic. There’s no way he would have just stopped l, this collision was only a short time after he got on the highway the wrong way.
I feel sooo so bad for the mom or dad who lost their child AND both of their parents at the same time. A completely avoidable yet absolute tragedy.
@@feral4112 I agree that this could have happened no matter what BUT by not pursuing him on the wrong side of the road you reduce the chances right? Also he was trying not to get caught. The cop was right behind him so he was driving like a mad man to escape. There is a reason they have a playbook to follow. It’s to avoid this type of situation.

Police didn't have to drive wrong way on hywy 401. Let them run away with the liquor from LCBO.
They never added any context, the pursuit was only 20 minutes so the people saying they could have called a chopper are wrong. People also don't know this but he actually pointed and threatened a off duty officer. This is some context, more will be coming soon.
Show me you know nothing 😏
Sorry for the families of the victims of such a sensless thing. They have cameras that take licence plate photos, even of the driver inside the vehicle. They could have just had cars and officers at all the exits off the highway. Such a sensless tragedy. 😢
My heart goes out to the family. ❤
The chase should have stopped long before they got on the 401. The cops though will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong.
All this for alcohol... thank you for highlighting the fact that a helicopter could and probably should have been used, but arent there cameras at the LCBO that would help track down the person at a later date, maybe when they are hungover from his stolen goods so no one is hurt.

Police should have never chased at that speed the wrong way. Immediately they should have stopped pursuit. Idiots
I honestly think it's the Toronto Police lack of experience with these types of chases. We see a lot more chases in the States and especially La and the police there know better. They've been through these scenarios 1000x more than the police have over here. This was a tragic lesson unfortunately.

so what you mean is you want police to stop chasing every criminal from now on??????? are you ok????????????????
@@yuhenghe3570 That is what they're suggesting. Blame everything criminals do on the police.
Turns out the suspect had pulled a knife on an off duty cop while robbing the LCBO which explains the clearly emotional and irrational response
My heart goes out to the parents of that infant who lost their child and parents in one horrible avoidable tragedy.
This is brutal! I'm sorry, but why tf did they not allow something like cameras to track down the suspect(s)? Now, people are dead, and kids on top of that. Can you not just track that vehicle down later instead of following it at that point?! I don't get it.
These many police forces ready to be deployed ? I heard many instances where not a single police man available to go after stolen vehicles even with trackers on it.
Public Safety = FIRST
Can i become a police officer, I'm not that dumb ?
If you're smart, you won't last long
From listening to local law enforcement for many years in the GTA, it is common protocol to not engage in pursuits, even in the middle of the night when traffic is pretty much non existent. Why this chase took place, especially during the time that it did, is the major question. As far as the helicopter being used, it is only in service on certain nights through the week, and even if it was dispatched for service, it would take too long to get up in the air for just this incident.
I cannot imagine the grief this family is suffering. Two generations completely wiped out. It’s just so sad. I fear for my life and the lives of my loved ones every single time we drive on the 401.
Their best judgement is graded at grade 4 or 5! I see a law suit coming shortly.
This could have been avoided if DRPS hadn't endangered everyone on that highway for a van with liquor. There may have been an accident, but with a police chase, the adrenaline the robbery suspects were feeling... It was a recipe for disaster.
Name the driver of the DRPS cruiser that went against protocol.
Yeah blame the police not the guy who decided to drive on the wrong side of the highway after committing a felony.
@@Turtle50 there are a couple of you clueless types that simply do not understand what the protocol is for these things and are only blaming the suspect rather than the ignorance of the police's own policies. Look it up for US states, they deal with this way more than we ever have in Canada and dozens of states have implemented no chase policies for infractions like theft. You just sound like a heartless POS that doesn't understand the law.
@@Turtle50we will blame our servants for escalating thanks for the suggestion
The chasers will get off. Incompetent and useless
Why the fck cops would increase the danger by driving the wrong way is outrageous
Helicopter is weather dependent
GTA's finest...at it again!
Unreal. Such neglect to the public
So how often do you think bad people will just head into traffic if they know the cops have to stop chase if they do.
It is a very good thing those videos came out before the police and their administrative supporters managed to throw up a smoke screen. Everyone got to see the chase and the police car also following at high speed. Three people died, unnecessarily and now there must be a public inquiry into what decisions were made, and by whom.
The justice system is all about holding people accountable. And this time I hope those involved are held accountable.
why havnt we gotten the names of the criminals????? we all know why
Because we want to ignore the person responsible and focus on the police actions, not the actions of the criminals these days.

Police are too egotistical to back off. They always escalate every situation. Now 4 people are dead because of some stolen alcohol...
Sure jan
How do we know it's stolen alcohol? They said it was a robbery not shoplifting. Nobody is committing robbery for a bottle, they could just walk out with it. It was probably an armed robbery for cash
@@juliogonzo2718 does that really matter? Is that suppose to justify what happened? You're probably right about it being cash and not alcohol, not sure what I was thinking there. But cops are still nuts and lack decision making skills.

Wow,your an idiot.
#1 question is who are the robbers and what criminal records do they have!
Probably had just got out on bail earlier that morning
Funny how we know all about the victims but there are 0 details about the criminals anywhere. Guessing it's an inconvenient truth for a certain narrative.

I’m sorry but when are we going to admit Canada is in big trouble and when are we going to admit that immigration is ruining this Country? It’s not about racism it’s about facts!!!
the only reason the gestapo kept up the pursuit is a giant ego.
The audio on this video only comes out of one channel.
What about the judge who let the criminal out on bail for 3 other charges? Shouldn't the judge be accountable???
i smell a massive lawsuit and i hope that family gets every last penny from this. disgusting actions from our so called police
don't you have to pass some kind of I.Q test before you become a law enforcer? seriously what idiot chases a guy in oncoming traffic he could of just went to the other side it's not like he wouldn't see him just putting more lives at risk
What a bs statement
Blame the cops for doing their job not the criminal who DROVE INTO INCOMMING TRAFFIC AND MURDERED 3 PEOPLE!
yall are pathetic
What is the use of cameras that can take a snapshot of the license plate or description of van?
and that shows you who is in it?
Feels like a GTA5 RP video; especially the cops.
Easy to criticize the cops in hindsight people. Once the guy was racing against on coming traffic a crash was imminent. 😢
Probably wouldn’t be racing if he weren’t being chased?
Without the police behind the car, nobody would’ve known it was coming.
They did break something. They should be charged!
mono audio in a youtube video in 2024 shouldn't be a thing.
The only thing that was stopping those cops to stop the chase was their ego.
So the OPP didn't have brain dysfunction unlike the "Durrrum" Arnold Schwarzenegger unit. Good to know.
Most businesses have insurance. I highly doubt they wouldn't have gotten reimbursed by their insurance. Why not bring out the helicopter. Why not chase them on the right side of the road at least?
A business being reimbursed for their loss by their insurance company does come close to compensating for the increase in their rates because "now they're a higher risk". Security guards can't stop thieves, LP officers can't stop them, and employees (due to corporate liability) have long been encouraged to not even try to confront them, let alone stop them...and the thieves know it. Since we have been "allowed out again" after the ending of Covid protocols, no less than 22 businesses in the downtown core of my sleepy little burg have closed up shop because they could no longer pay their insurance premiums because of the increase in rates of theft. This has also, as a result, put over 170 people out of work at those businesses, and put a greater strain on the social safety net. If there were actual consequences for criminals, businesses wouldn't need as much insurance and their rates wouldn't be so high.
Exactly this whole makes no sense
Helicopter? You watch a lot of movies huh?
Actually, insurance doesn't cover lost inventory like alcohol. It is a total loss out of pocket by the store.
Unless they had kidnapped a hostage in the van or were mass murderers on a rampage there was no effin justification to chase this van. And to put ADDITIONAL Police cruisers at high speed going the wrong way at night on the 401? It beggars the mind. I am heart broken for the family affected .This should NOT have happened.
Durham cops, nuff said.
FOOL OFFICERS - 1 WAY - IMAGINE THAT - HE ROBBED A LIQUOR STORE - NOT MURDERED ANYONE - ALL THOSE FOOLS CHASING HIM -
@loismcmillan5464 Fool Officers putting all the rest of us in danger. So they can look like The Nasty Boys.
Heinous act by the police
Yea I’m sure the criminal who decided to drive on the opposite direction in the first place would’ve done so without getting anyone killed in the process
Btw you can rob an LCBO with no one touching you, but prepare to be chased on the 401 even if its the opposite way
Cause what you'd rather the criminals just know Canadians down care if the commit crime?
In Canada they just get away with crime? Because you don't want cops?
My right ear is very thankful for this video. Fix ur audio dawg
I encountered a wrong way sedan around 2 am at Highway 91 around the loop in Nelson road going to Richmond. Thankfully, I changed lane to the right side after taking over a truck. I honk so hard after witnessing it and the sedan stopped and went to the right track.
Whats the over/under on him being some foreigner that recently moved to canada through our broken immigration laws? Anyone? Anyone?
The fact they’re going out of their way not to mention key ID factors lets us know our suspicions are right

I’m sorry but when are we going to admit Canada is in big trouble and when are we going to admit that immigration is ruining this Country? It’s not about racism it’s about facts!!!
the murderer was out on bail. let us not forget this first.
can we start requiring university degree's to become a police officer already? these guys getting payed way too much and given way to much authority for the amount of sense they have. we also need stricter laws for better crime prevention
Officer should been charged for stunt driving failing to stop persuit causing deaths.
Why are we not talking about the idiot who started this issue all together by going the wrong way on the highway. Why must we always go at the police? If the police didn’t follow him the comments would say “where were the police?”. It’s the guy who drove erratically to begin with who caused the crash, not the officer.
Because the police officers have a duty to protect public safety. They also have many alternatives that would have been less dangerous. No one thinks the person in the van is on the right side here, but they're dead, and they don't have a responsibility to the public. The police officers are alive and do have obligations to the public. The video even talks about how the protocol is to NOT pursue unless the outcome would be worse. This response was unreasonably risky compared to the threat that not actively persuing the driver would have had.
Court documents obtained by CBC News show Gagandeep Singh was facing multiple criminal charges at that time and had allegedly broken a condition of his release, namely "not be in the driver seat of a motor vehicle."
Manslaughter charges possibly?
Kinda hard to charge a dead guy
@@juliogonzo2718 charges against the police officers for following the wrong way driver and not stop chasing the suspect and contributing to the deaths.
Well, we get people who are hired purely on looks & multilingual abilities, and then we have unions that keep people employed even if they're incompetent...
Maybe we shouldn't expect too much out of certain professions anymore.
To anyone thinking that the police car following the suspect into oncoming traffic makes sense to warn the oncoming drivers is not thinking clearly. In order to give best possible warning, you would have to speed up close to the suspect, which only makes suspect drive faster!
He literally passed an OPP detachment at Brock st with a direct merg lane onto the highway. Even at that speed, opp had tons of time to stop traffic before he got there.
Moral of the story: according to this report, if you don't want to be caught by police, just drive super fast and they will stop trying to catch you.
In the morning getting out of bed NOT realizing that that will be the LAST Time getting out of bed. NEVER making another day’s decision. NEVER going back to bed AGAIN.
When idiots in a uniform with egos and action man mentality have power, this is what you get. They must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is NO excuse for the reckless endangerment by the cops
They should make the supervisor that called this chase should have to go tell the family there DEA D
There is one person to blame and its not the police officers..were there other ways to ID or other threats? so I dont judge yet whether id have pursued, did the need to warn drivers play in? however..btw unless the helicopter is already in the air and close...how could it track this killer. Im sure that the pursuing officer's intent was to warn drivers or overtake & crash his cruiser to stop this madman before he killed someone. I couldnt help but notice that drivers in both directions on the 401 WERE NOT pulling over to the right and stoppping despite the massive police presence with lights and sirens wailing in the rear view or in front windshield. If people would pullover and stop that would have stopped traffic way back as well. But if everyone else keeps doing 120 km how can anyone pull over & stop safely. At least slow way down.
This is why most police chases in cars are called off by their supervisors on comms. The danger level vs reward is too unbalanced.
Every law is defined to hurt Canadians as police officers them must and should have an even stronger code of behavior and completely independent study done by people who like a jury are paid to do so, only then will laws have the respect of people
What is the history of the thief ?

I’m sorry but when are we going to admit Canada is in big trouble and when are we going to admit that immigration is ruining this Country? It’s not about racism it’s about facts!!!
I don't see how the police are responsible for the crash. The operator of the fleeing U-haul was clearly 100% responsible. They could have pulled over and surrendered.
Bad police tactics lead to bad outcomes! There's no way public safety should be overlooked during a police chase!
This was a seriously lack of judgement on Durham regions police officers. It was at the height of traffic, and even the OPP in the correct lanes asked their dispatcher to contact Durham's sergeant and head of communications to tell the Durham Officers pursuing in the wrong lanes to stop the chase or someone is going to be killed. The OPP dispatcher said they were actually in the midst of doing that but it didn't get done soon enough. All officers know that when it gets to dangerous which this was without a doubt call it off. Sadly those officers decided they were going to risk the publics safety and get their man. Shame on them for this careless decision. I hope the family sues because they will win big.
With Toronto's attitude about car thefts and how residents are supposed to leave their doors open and keys at the front door, why not leave the doors unlocked at the LCBO too? TIC.
There needs to be better coordination between police and the ministry of transportation to develope a system to better inform the public immediately, and close down lanes of the highway.
The electronic message boards along the 400 series should made to flash and display an emergency message like "please pull over to the shoulder, this highway is closed due to active police pursuit!". Something along those lines to warn drivers, and not allow the organized criminals to escape.
