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.

Failure of the justice system, shameful
(Thankyou Global for keeping the comment open, unlike CBC)
The hell is wrong with our politicians. How can anyone think this is OK?
1:31 Not an answer.
She's in disbelief? What is she new? This is how it works, he was home on the couch before she got done work.
You can thank Justin Trudeau for all of this.
These are the same people who march against the right to self defense.
You might ant to think about it….at the ballot box!!!!!!!….prov…and FED….get it …got it….Good

Trudolf and herr freeland walk around with armed bodyguards paid by our taxes but we cannot protect ourselves and they passed laws to keep releasing this dangerous criminals, why you asked yourself? well they do not care about you or anyone else they only care about sending billions and billions to Ukraine ????
Keep voting Liberal and NDP.
Keep voting liberals in
In BC if you are a pedestrian and get hit by a car you cannot sue the driver.. enough said ?
Welcome to Canada, land of the free ?????
What happened to the Three strike rule?????
Thanks to the progressive Marxist government, our pathetic country caters to crminals at the expense of honest taxpayers.
Gotta love the Trudeau government and bail reform
It's all part of the plan. Pretty soon these criminals will be the police force arm of the government
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?
This is THEIR PLAN!!
Think vigilante justice might be necessary.
BC the new NY or Chicago. Police arrest, and they get released. nice.
Bet she’ll vote ndp/liberal again ?
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.
You’re funny!
This is brutal! We need an election as soon as possible.
Canada had more prisons when the population was 18 million. Build prisons in Canada instead of giving millions to Taliban.
We need stronger courts and punishments for auto theft cases
Perp walk Trudeau = problem Solved
You know to clone Salvadorian president Nayib bukele to fix this country.
