Clown World: Canadian Police Warn Posting Videos of Package Thieves Could ‘Violate’ Their Privacy

Citizens of Quebec, Canada, are being told they can’t share footage of thieves stealing packages from their homes, with police claiming that doing so could violate the privacy of the criminals.

A CTV News report on an epidemic of package thieves warned residents against uploading and sharing footage from their home surveillance cameras showing “porch pirates” making off with home-delivered goods.

“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 described in a video report aired Saturday, according to Fox News.

Speaking to CTV News, Montreal West public security council member Lauren Small-Pennefather admitted, “It’s something we deal with on a daily basis.”

“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,” she added.

Despite the pilfering of packages being a known issue, Montreal police are discouraging residents from sharing images of the thieves on social media, ridiculously arguing the thieves be considered innocent until proven guilty.

“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,” claimed Sûreté du Québec communications officer Lt. Benoit Richard.

“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.”

Moreover, police claim residents who share images could be sued for defamation.

The officer’s claims were rightly criticized on X, formerly Twitter, where they were highlighted as an example of Canada’s descent into a communist hellhole.

“Canada is the ultimate anarcho-tyranny state. The authorities will find any reason to arrest law-abiding citizens while letting criminals roam free,” remarked conservative commentator Scott Greer.

“It’s 2024, so of course the police care more about criminals than victims of crime,” commented Rebel News’ Ezra Levant.

“Because of course in #Canada, the government protects the criminals and threatens the innocent,” wrote Health Ranger Mike Adams.

Americans must remain vigilant to keep this type of backwards logic from infecting our legal institutions.
