Car thieves in Ontario could see their licenses suspended up to a “lifetime”
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- Ontario’s Ford government says it plans to put forward legislation later this week that would allow it to suspend drivers’ licenses for people found guilty of auto theft.
The province’s Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria said the plan would “send a message” to auto thieves.
The legislation will propose an escalating scale of license bans, up to a potential "lifetime ban" for those convicted three times, according to the province.
Colin D’Mello has more on the move by the province and why some question whether it will have a real impact.

Thieves afraid they are banned from licenses. What a JOKE.
Agree. If you are already breaking the law how can this rule be a deterrent. Jail time would at least protect citizens.
Gives police more options when dealing with criminals.
Joke kkkkkkk 🤡
Pretty hard to steal a car if you don't have a valid licence
In canada, if you dont get pulled over , YOU CAN DRIVE FOREVER WITHOUT A LICENSE. LITERALLY FOREVER.
Telling criminals not to use guns has worked so well!
Trudeau regime did a gun ban its working great 😂
They should deported or be in jail 10 yrs...hate hate hate
That will teach them ! 😂
If you're caught in that stolen car without a license you're in big trouble mister@@PramJam5
These thieves don't have cars in first place
How about JAIL NO BAIL!
I say we start with ban armed robbers from owning a gun license.
Need to go back to steal something, lose a hand. Do it again, lose the other hand. It usually works the first time.
@littlelittle5 I totally agree with you. But just so you know. That's a racist thing to say.
@@BuriedUnkind which race are you referring to? from my understanding every race adapted good old punishments at one point.
@@BuriedUnkind,, spoken like a true pathetic liberal..
What a joke. Criminals don't care about your silly laws.😅
Exactly it’s like thinking making guns illegal will suddenly make then stop carrying guns..
It is not going to work unless they also ban ice cream from the repeat offenders.
@@HughG_Rection416by that logic there should be no laws at all cuz criminals don't follow the laws
@@autograndeunlimited laws are something civilians follow.
@HughG_Rection416 yes but there's no point of them since criminals won't follow them right just like you said gun laws don't stop criminals from having and using them
This is hilarious
20 years in prison sounds better than letting car thief's out the same day.
I don't like them either but doing that would only come out of your own pocket. Who do you think pays for them in jail?
@@Thehammm_ it's called a deterrent
Deportation sounds better than paying for them in jail for 20 yrs
These guys are criminals. None of them have drivers licenses in the first place.
WHY WOULD CAR THIEVES NEED LICENCES!?!
What this is setting up for is being able to add on additional charges.
Because driving without your license is a charge and doing it while in a possession of a stolen vehicle also adds to it
Now , it's up to how much they want to add to it or they have to actually enforce it
They don't it's a joke 😂
15 years in jail for 1st offense and you'll see a huge drop in auto theft.
Second offense: they have to do tough labours in the jail to earn each meal.
ah yes, the govt think people with revoked licenses won't steal vehicles.
Or better still, continue to drive. Frickin’ hilarious
😂 well yea there not going to illegally drive a stolen vehicle lmao
You're SENDING a WEAK message.
Yes, mostly that you are on their side.
Lifetime ban should be the standard for car theft.
after loosing a few fingers so everyone knows forever
They are already banned for life from stealing. Are you serious? Hahaha
@rhetorical1488 let's hope you learn that it's spelled "losing" forever.
They will still steal cars with or without a license .
@@BoringBoring-mw3ph sooooo, adults?
Criminals are shaking in their boots 😂
Same as gun registry. Useless laws to pretend your doing something. Most thiefs probably don't even have a license
Car thieves probably don't have passports.
That was my thought too
Funny how yt deletes comments mentioning lack of passports.
Or maybe, replying to certain people causes posts to not go through, because their accounts are flagged.
@@MavicAir1 zero ρassρort
Oh yes, those law abiding car thieves we should take away their licenses so they can’t drive anymore. That’ll teach them.?
"Tough on crime" - pfft, take a finger!
LOL 😂 you think that’ll stop’em? I heard of one case where a guy stole a car every day for 3 days in a row. He Got caught every day but let out of jail every day. Maybe lock them up longer.
Govt doesn't see crimes.. N people suffer. If it was theirs probably they would know
How about deportation?
"if the crime includes violence" was that the fine-print? sure sounds like.
Absolutely bang on. “If the crime involves violence”. So, steal 100 vehicles from driveways or parking lots and you’re golden. Theft WITH VIOLENCE = ROBBERY, not simple car theft. You get convicted of robbery and losing your license is the least of your worries (or, it SHOULD be, but hey this is Canada and since when do criminals worry about justice?)
I am almost certain the government just doesn't like terms "jail" and "Deportation"
Neither does YT
Lifetime suspension 1st violation.
and 15 years in a maximum-security prison.
Suspend what license they probably do not have one. More time in prison would be better.
I doubt that 'lifetime' penalties will survive a challenge to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Ya like that will deter them...they will drive anyway.....most of them probably don't have one anyways..
Yeah, suspend their driver's licenses. That'll scare them from stealing cars. Jail? So what. No drivers license? NOoo..... I'll stop stealing cars. Such a cruel punishment. Get real.
They actually think criminals care whether or not they have a valid driver license 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Id keep stealing cars, but my licence is suspended."
Yep, that's what theyll say.
First offense cut off the right hand, second offense cut the other hand.
Aren't they already banned from stealing vehicles for a lifetime? This is a joke.
For a second there I thought this was an Onion or Bee story. I can’t believe the kind of world we’re living in.
They need to be in prison!!!!! Canada is a joke!!!!!
Yea criminalscare about a drivers license 🙄
How about immediate deportation, if applicable?
That should only be a part of the punishment. The other should be 10 to 15 years in jail. 20 for repeat offenders of 2 or more.
This is ridiculous to bring out a punishment with no meaning..
What a joke this is, criminals don’t care about laws
Is this a joke?
Pathetic. Like they care.
5 years, 15, lifetime jail, not license suspension, jail!
We need to bring back forced labor.
So let me get this straight....someone approaches my vehicle and attempts to steal it from me....and I can't legally self defend? Maybe I'm missing something.
What a frickin' joke for the thieves.
Adding more penalties is going to do nothing when cops treat car theft a a low priority crime.
license suspended ? Who is making these stupid rules?
Oh my goodness!! That will stop the car thieves for sure!! The only thing that will stop these thieves is jail time!! More than a few days in jail. Minimum five years on first conviction.
1st conviction - 3 yrs in jail
2nd conviction - 10 yrs in jail
3rd conviction - life time imprisonment
That will definitely make these criminals think twice about stealing cars.
3rd conviction jail for local born! But immigrants revoke their citizenship and deportation to their original birth places!
The clowns are still clowning!
Surely this is a bloody joke. These crooks are 😂at this news
And revoke their library card ,that will teach them.😮
Are you kidding me ? Are they for real, those thief's are running over the cops they don't care. What a looser doug ford is, selling greenbelt to his friends and sentencing gun carrying car jackers with 10 year driving licenses suspension, that's beyond woke only in Ontario.
Gun freeze worked so well and I am sure the driving ban will be a strong deterrence
Because there is a harsher penalty for driving without a license than stealing a car.
do you give out licenses to steal cars in ontario? no? do you think that only people with drivers licenses are car thieves? of course not.
this is an idea so dumb it sounds like texas. people with stable lives and something to lose don't steal cars. to get a stable life and important stuff you don't want to lose, you need an income. which comes from a job. which you need a license to drive to and from.
in the us state i used to live in they suspended the licenses of parents who failed to pay child support- virtually ensuring that they could not find and retain a job, so and directly landing them in prison.
Car thieves must show driver license to steal your cars ????
People who steal cars would never drive without a license right? 🤔
...but just the violent ones. Is this a joke?
Taking someone's License away doesn't stop the one's with no license from stealing cars.
Driving without a license is only a few fines.
But jail time is time without this person committing crimes. Bail puts people at risk of the offender doing it again.
Anything but putting criminals in prison I guess.
How about prison for life
We know how well that works. Just look at the carnage one-way Singh caused. Unless locked up, those clowns will ALWAYS get behind the wheel…
How about making them pay back the full damages to the owners and insurance companies x10
Ooooooooo such a threat,,, the thieves are shaking in their boots
Beyond ridiculous. Without a license a car thief could not go straight even if they wanted to.
wow Ontario gets tough on crime. LOL. I'm confident the CBC and The Supreme Court will make certain this is ruled cruel and unusual punishment. But let's have a fun debate on whether the legally challenged will care enough about the lose to protest to the supreme court.
I don't think car thieves care about having a license or not 😂
I’m sure most of these criminals bring their drivers license to commit crimes, they probably bring their lunch too
I've already left the keys out for the thieves like the police told me, now I have to drive them around too?
like telling a Mosquito not too fly after biting some one
Naughty Naughty mustn’t do it again.
The car thief driving doesn't belong to them, so do they need licences? The criminal needs to apply gun licenses?
How about sending them home, where them, their parents and or grandparents came from !! If you don't want to deal with them otherwise
Most criminals I've ever met don't care about their driver's license. This is one of the stupidest ideas ever.
They will make enough money off of stealing vehicles.
They will just hire a driver.
😂😂😂Will that include seizing and canceling their drivers licenses from Nigeria ,Pakistan, Mumbai, USA 😂😂My goodness Doug this sounds like something Trudeau and the gang thought up .😂
Governments aren't the only ones who sell "driver's licenses".
Only if violence occurs?
Absolutely. And then it become Robbery anyway, and no longer simple car theft.
Just because you don't have a license it doesn't mean you can't drive a car in some states. California is a perfect example..... And that's based off of the law..
Lol the old "stop a criminal from breaking the law by making another law" trick. Works every time.
BFD !
The Canadian government need a complete overhaul.
Noooooooo!! It's not fair!!! How can they drive if they have no license?!?!
Proved thieves are not suppose to be in jail in Canada? 🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely rubbish. Behind bars for 25+ years needed.
Brilliant! This will be sure fire deterrent. I bet habitual criminals who have no problem stealing cars worth
who happen to get caught will contemplate not having a drivers licence when they steal their next one.
You all missed the point.
If your license is suspended it's illegal to drive a stolen car.
This government is SMART.
😂🤦♀️
@@Sharon-lh9yi
Thank you!!!
SMART!!!👍
That too after a million cars demolished lives gone comes a weak defense..
And they'll STILL (steal) cars! This is POINTLESS!
Our government is lost.
lol tuff on crime? Buddy is so out of touch
That’s it.thats all the punishment. What a joke!
Ive been driving without my license for 5 yrs😂😂
Next, the government will pass a law to send them to thier room
That oughta show em
If they are stealing cars, removing their drivers licences will not change anything.
Why don't we put them in jail for life for a 1st offence?
Wow as in wow.. how about putting them in jail!
That will deter them... Oh boy.
So embarrassing. What a waste of time.
Taking one hand off is better than suspended license
Oh No!Not their drivers licence,that is too much!
You understand that nobody needs a license to steal a vehicle right....? Right!?
Those should be mandatory prison terms not licence suspensions... Joke...
Some probably already don't have a license to begin with so what difference does it make. Jail sentence right away, no bail or possibility of early parole/release .
