Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
So basically, when you commit a crime in Canada, just go to Australia.
Apparently, Vancouver Police Department can't do anything about it because they have absolutely no authority.
The funny thing is, VPD talked to Australian Police just so that she's aware that she will be arrested if she comes back to Canada.
Do you think it's a good thing or bad thing that they told her? Because now that she knows, she will never return to Canada.
Maybe it was a good thing because if VPD arrests her, then it comes out of tax payer's money to press charges and put her in jail/under probation and whatnot.
Since Australia is a common wealth country, wouldn't Canada have an extradition treaty with Australia and have that lady extradited to Canada to pay for her crime?

And as taxpayers we have to pay for her flight back to Canada VPD to go over and back to apprehend her and all the extra time with Interpol? No thanks.

oh come on who really cares anymore? it's been what 3 years?
i was mad just like everyone else initially but come on do you really expect to pay to have her extradited back and go to trial over mischief? and serve a very short conditional sentence if even
we do have an extradition treaty with australia btw
edit: really geek, under, willy? you want the govt. to go through the whole extradition process to have her brought back and put under trial over mischief? are you guys retarded? the cost of that would do far more damage than she did during the riot
Looks like we got the better deal. Instead of a slap in the wrist sentence, she completely avoids the country forever. This is like a life sentence without us paying a dime.
As far as taxpayers concerned we're better off, she'll never be back and we didn't have to go through the costs of prosecuting her.

It's internet shit that makes fun of Australians and/or the British and swagtage / MLG douchebags on youtube. It's nonsensical crap that's used for cheap laughs or by the 4chan crowd because who the fuck knows. An Aussie friend and I spew this shit at eachother constantly as a joke. It's based on youth slang in the UK and Australia, it's just part of the retarded internet humour schtick.
As far as extradition goes, not all charges would qualify. If she committed an aggravated assault, robbery or some other violent crime then they could extradite her. Mischief, fraud or other minor or property related crimes wouldn't be cause for an extradition.
So what are the repercussions for her if/when she returns to Canada after the statue of limitations runs out? If there are none, I would rather her stay in Canada and let us prosecute/convict her, send her back to Australia with a criminal record and never allow her back into Canada. It's a small price to pay to send a message to people abroad that you can't commit a crime in Canada and then fuck off back to your country.
Whatever. She isn't taking advantage of any of Canada's benefits like most rioters, she isn't a drain on our resources as long as the police don't actively pursue her (just an active warrant is fine) and she can't come back ever.
She also lost her job back home so whatever...let's just call it even then.
Australians are, on average, a great bunch of people so we'll let this one slide.

agreed, but you can be extradited for fraud also
it depends on the treaty with the country, as bill c-40 has allowed offenses with 2 year sentences (by the requesting nation) to be extraditable (so its no longer just 5yr+ sentences)
Australia considers a person is extraditable if the country requesting the extradition considers the crime an extraditable offense
