The door is going to keep spinning..
OP 250..CAN YOU PRINT THE DIRTBAGS NAME.
Oh boy,another one...maybe it's time the judge's who keep letting these losers back out on the street through the revolving door, should have to explain themselves?
This farce will never end until the politicians take a stand and make sure they take the options away from the judges.
For too often they interpret the law as they see fit,not as it is written,and this loser is the result!
Bang on andy...ever been to California????

Maybe we need some baseball players in politics, 3 strikes and you are outta here.....or maybe "asta lavista baby" is more in order.
Facts are that it is not always the judges decision. The RCMP, in this city especially, and the crown prosecutor are always cutting deals with types like this to get information on others (false info or otherwise). That is how they work.

This guy stealing vehicles and getting out is only so that they can continue to use him as their asset rather then the RCMP and Crown doing their own jobs. Its lazy work in the criminal system and it also violates our rights as citizens and it happens almost every day as is likely the case with this guy.

They don't just release guys like this for no reason IMO. The public is never told the real story or it would bugger up their 'police work'. I think the practice should end and the police should make an example of anyone that violates the law even if it means working harder to get their man.
Runner46,

I agree. 3 strikes and you are OUT. One of the few things with the U.S. penal system I do agree with.....................
Eagleone, you are way off base on your little theory in this particular instance.

This guy was released a week ago on an undertaking before a justice, but with most of these kind of sh&%$rats, it is only a matter of time before they break the law again thus voiding their conditions along with having more charges.

The name cannot be released to the public until the information is laid.
He needs to commit the Big Dirty to actually get thrown in jail.
It's to bad that we have to wait until that 'big dirty' happens to one of us... or our loved ones.
I got lot's of patience for good people who screw up.

I got little patience when they screw up 2,3,4+ times.
Maybe he is a police informant and they need him to roam around digging up dirt. Could be he ain't too valuable when locked up. Ask.
Harbringer: Not.
Judges can only impose what is written in law. The theif was "just released a week ago". This means the suspect was in jail, served and was released. Now this suspect/thief has reoffended. It has nothing to do with the police! How absurd is that! Harbinger and Eagleone seem to think our police force has the time and resources to deliberately get this guy to steal a car! OUTRAGEOUS! Maybe Harbinger and Eagleone watch too many movies!lol

The Criminal Code needs tweaking! There are very few MINIMUM sentences in our justice system--therein lies the problem, IMO. (That and lack of rehabilitation resources.)
tinyapple.

i am aware of some of the resources for those who "want" help. the problem is that those who don`t "want" help are the real problem........

Maybe we need to look at a model similar to the one being utilized out at Baldy Hughes.
The more they realize that making wrong choices results in unfavourable consequences, they will figure it out. But the consequences need to be enough of a deterrant to cause them to think twice next time. Chester
Well, we could gather up enough air miles to get him to Quebec. See how long it takes him to return.
You are right Chester....hit them HARD! and we just might start to see some results!
So he ain't a stooly. But then again, you have to admit "each case is judged on its own merits". Right? Just ask the judge. He/she will tell ya.
"each case is judged on it's own merits" as in..if you spin the judge a good line,he can ease up on the punishment?
That is exactly the damn problem!
These judges are interpreting the law as they see it,and that is wrong!
That's why we need more minimum sentencing laws to stop this!
You do the crime,you do the time...and I really don't give a damn what your excuse is, or whether of not your mummy was nice to you!
You still know right from wrong, and now you pay!
Show a little remorse, (real or faked) and score points with the judge. Tell him or her you are a victim too and that is why you broke the law. Boo hoo.
