The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) warned local citizens against sharing footage of alleged porch thieves. "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," SQ communications officer Lt. Benoit Richard warned.
"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."
People who post security footage of their packages being stolen could face potential defamation charges, according to CTV.
So let me get this straight. You pay for the installation of a camera and a correction to watch your front porch. However, if you post a criminal stealing from your front porch with images from the camera that you paid for, you are the criminal. Makes sence to me, canada.
