BC carjacking victim left in disbelief with "catch-and-release" system

- There are more questions and anger about B.C.'s so-called "catch-and-release" justice system over the case of an alleged repeat offender.
Asha Makwana was a victim of a carjacking in Victoria, B.C., on Monday, which ended when the suspect crashed into two vehicles.
Seth Packer was charged with robbery and theft of a motor vehicle. It was his second arrest in two days on charges of trying to steal a vehicle.
After making a court appearance, Packer was released, despite Victoria police asking that he be held in custody. Just a few hours after that release, Packer was arrested again, accused of stealing a wallet from a home and allegedly trying to steal yet another car.

The hell is wrong with our politicians. How can anyone think this is OK?
The politicians and the judges who let this happen are the true criminals. The police are doing the best they can, and honestly, I feel bad for them.
Probably more to go with the judges. Also these laws made to keep cost of incarnation down (but also strains policing with repeated responses). So more money needs to put in that area too.
It's not the politicians, it's the people. Their soft tolerance on criminals and drug addicts has allowed the problem to fester. They happily pay their taxes to politicians to allow such criminal behavior to exist.
@@iReturnV1deotapesDo something about it then...
@@Rocksteady-hl2ks Why? I don't live in BC. That's their problem.
Keep voting Liberal and NDP.
We need the community to intervene. They need to consider hpw this criminal activity makes them look? They know the issues and the people doing these crimes. How did islamic extremism get handled? By community intervention to a large part. This criminal behaviour is now staining those communities reputation in the eyes of some i fear, and these communities can now make the decision to intervene and stop this behaviour by helping those who are willing to be helped, and sending those who wont change off our streets. Unless they like being mislabelled. Just my opinion.
Failure of the justice system, shameful

Gotta love the Trudeau government and bail reform
You would think its common sense to lock him up. Jesus this is so shameful
The judge even went against crown council's recommendation to keep him in custody. That judge should not be anywhere near the justice system if they're that incompetent. They care more about criminals than public safety.
That’s why everyone in bc should vote for the bc conservatives
This isn't only happening in BC
(Thankyou Global for keeping the comment open, unlike CBC)
Except they delete ,90% of the comments.
It's all the same tax funded media
Dog and pony show
They helped create this mess in the first place 😂

You can thank Justin Trudeau for all of this.
Actually this is a provincial issue. If you weren't dumb, you'd know that.
Person is not dumb. Just stating facts. He should be aware of each provincial rules that effects each province.
@@JA-qt4qk Expand your horizons. This catch and release thing happens throughout Canada.
@@ludicrousmodel3173 Expand my horizons? What an idiotic statement. What's next 'do your own research'? I'm aware that the Canadian Criminal codes are weak, but Justin Trudeau is not solely responsible. There was a revolving door of criminals who commit all kinds of midlevel offenses that get punted back out without seeing a day in jail/court long before he was Prime Minister.
@@JA-qt4qkthe door is now broken down and they are coming in hordes, get it?
Bet she’ll vote ndp/liberal again 😊
In BC if you are a pedestrian and get hit by a car you cannot sue the driver.. enough said 😂
The ndp party changed the rules.
We need stronger courts and punishments for auto theft cases

See what happened to that poor Mr Zameer here in Toronto, and a police officer was accidentally run over. These things happen because the law is letting law abiding citizens down. Carjackings and other crimes are on the rise big time, and no one is prosecuting and putting these dangerous criminals in prison. What is happening in this country, that law abiding citizens aren't allowed to live in peace?!
This is the NDP government, no such thing as a criminal in BC.
This isn't only happening in BC
Think vigilante justice might be necessary.
Don't do that, the law industry loves men with money.
Ok keyboard warrior...
Except we'd be the ones with charges and in jail
@@ladytjoy Or underground...
If only we could get Batman on this
These are the same people who march against the right to self defense.
Can’t offend the squiggly word people with arrests
The release of a criminal with a prior conviction highlights a stark failure in the Canadian legal system ( damaged by Trudeau's 2018 Bill C-75) . By not detaining him after his first offense, the system essentially green-lit his further descent into crime. The subsequent, more severe offense cannot be viewed solely as his fault; rather, it reflects a systemic failure to rehabilitate or deter. His lawyer now faces a critical task: to challenge the Canadian laws that allowed this young life to spiral deeper into criminality. This is more than a failure; it’s a serious miscarriage of justice.
B.c is going into the sewer
"Too close to the vortex of California politics." Forget where I heard that.
You mean Canada is going into the sewer.
This isn't only happening in BC
She's in disbelief? What is she new? This is how it works, he was home on the couch before she got done work.
BC the new NY or Chicago. Police arrest, and they get released. nice.

Maybe the parents, relatives and friends need to get involved. Nothing like abit of an ultimatum and an offer to help change one's ways to keep someone from keep going down the path of a criminal. Islamic extremism used to be a problem, community members helped handle that by reaching out to the people in need of help and enforcing good behaviour. It was better than some people beginning to think badly of a whole group because of the actions of some bad apples. Just my opinion.
@@abcdedfg8340 parents and relatives don’t exist for these type of criminals, lots of the time they are criminals themselves. friends ? aka gang members.
@@ellomate.. We have to start somewhere. Even gang members have non gang friends and families in many cases. Also citizens arrests are okay i hear if its safe. But thats based on the situation. We at a community level have to have a much lower tolerance for criminal activity in my opinion. But we also need to address the real causes so those who continue have no excuse for their bad behaviour. Just my opinion.
@@abcdedfg8340 yes i agree but when you grow up in a broken household there’s not much hope. as sad as it is, some parents should not pro create. so many people do not deserve to bring in any children to this miserable world. but for some reason, it’s always broken families that have many kids outside of marriage and consider having kids as a joke. glad abortion is legalized here , i’m defintiely pro life but its preventing even more of a mess
Yet the victims will still vote NDP.
This is THEIR PLAN!!
Prime minister Yu No Hoo's criminal justice system is working as well as his gun bans, immigration, policies, taxation etc...
Canada needs its own 2nd amendment type laws Law abiding Canadains need to be able to carry weapons for self defense this should include pepper spray and tazers and firearms. Clearly, the police and politicians can't protect us its up to ourselves. Canada needs its own stand your ground laws and castle doctrine !!!!!
That’s a really stupid road to go down. You should move to the USA. Then you can go nuts.
@@blueabattoir I'll pass and keep advocating to bring it here.

The driver road test should have locking the doors on the test, like putting on your seat belt. Car jacking and big rig highjack has always been a threat. Lock your doors at all times.
I see a lot of comments from ppl thinking this is only happening in BC. Its happening in Ontario too so I assume its happening across the country.
This is brutal! We need an election as soon as possible.
what is that going to change in the justice system?
@@linebrunelle1004is that a serious question? You get this catch and release is happening because of legislation passed by the blackface government right?
BC hasn't had a conservative premier since 1991.
@@attananightshadow We need one or my kids will be in debt for the rest of their lives
@@attananightshadow Wow, you must be a genius
Chances are this poor victim voted liberal and or NDP. You reap what you sow.
1:31 Not an answer.
Welcome to Canada, land of the free 🎉🎉😂😂😂
It's Bill C-5, Global. Look it up, educate the masses, and tell them who introduced it.
I thought this was going to just be some sniveller who thinks their case is the only one being worked on, but , no, this is appalling.
Diversity is our strength. 😍🤣🤣

I think the criminal is the true victim. Having someone complain when you're just trying to make a living is a shame
wow criminals not following their set houses arrest rules? who could have thought
Irresponsible headline. There’s no such thing as “catch and release.” It’s a mindless slogan.
Wow, these guys don't know how to police.
You might ant to think about it....at the ballot box!!!!!!!....prov...and FED....get it ...got it....Good
Who would you suggest voting for then? If the country is Liberals, BC is NDP, and Ontario (where I am so I know it's happening here too) is run by Conservatives.
I have not seen one Canadian in the video. We are now the 3rd world
What happened to the Three strike rule?????
I think that’s the US
That’s the US
That's the US but they got rid of it. I'm not sure if all states but I know at least some of them have.
@@ladytjoy No, it was Canada as well.
October 2007 as one component in an omnibus crime bill. ' Bill C-2 received royal assent on February 28, 2008.5 The DO reform is colloquially referred to as a "three-strikes" law. It is grounded on the premise that the commission of three serious offences is severe enough a circumstance to warrant an extenuating punishment. The government insists that the "three-strikes" reform targets only the most dangerous, high-risk, serious offenders. It also maintains that the DO designation would be applied only if an offender could not effectively dispose of his "three strikes" burden. Moreover, the government maintains that the reform complies with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and that it will enhance the law's ability to protect Canadians from dangerous criminals.
Perp walk Trudeau = problem Solved
This is what you voted for.
The government wasn't even elected by the majority of eligible Canadians..
It's more like soft on criminals & hard on victims
Well victims of crime are just case numbers and statistics it's not as if the cops care to actually enforce any conditions or court orders so...
Trudy’s Canada
It's not the policies, it's the lack of staff in the justice system. It's the poor education system. It's the lack of a good legal post secondary institutions. Canada is still ripping off the indigenous, paying for lawsuits. Can't change legislation fast enough to make it a truly equal nation.
The court houses don't even have the space for the number of cases to be heard. Much like the medical system, it is not keeping up with population growth. Immigration isn't helping.
Due process works well when you have the capacity. Many don't believe in the rules anymore. Flags cussing out the prime minister and he can't get a clue. These flags don't happen often if ever.
In a democracy one should only be able to point inward.
The release wouldn't be for so long or at all if ther was staff to take the case. There is a rule that a case must be heard within a certain time frame. Many get off because that time passes. Holding them and then figuring out that they were innocent is a huge setback for everybody and not justice.
Was it a joy ride or grand theft auto?
All thanks to the crime minister of Canada. FJT, FJS,FCF!!
Lots of armchair judges here.
You know to clone Salvadorian president Nayib bukele to fix this country.
😂😂😂😂 Canada the crime capital of the world 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Why is she complaining?
She voted either NDP or the Wokies...
Showing results!!!??? 🤣 clearly not….
To everyone that voted for the Liberal and NDP coalition, you did this to your neighbors. The Liberal bill C75 aka bail reform made sure criminals walked out of jail in less than 24 hours.
I was attacked by a random man on the street over a decade ago. I don't know who was in office at the time but it definitely wasn't this Liberal NDP coalition, and wasn't Trudeau. I was taken to hospital by ambulance to get stitches. The guy was released before I even got in to see a doctor.
Wrong, but never mind.
Divide & conquer
The NDP and LIB got your Back
but not your wallet
