Quebec Police Warn Against Posting Package Theft Footage Due to Privacy Concerns

Package Thefts on the Rise in Canada as Police Urge Victims to Report Incidents Rather Than Post Footage

Quebec police warn residents against posting surveillance footage of package thefts, citing potential violation of a criminal's right to a 'private life'.
Package thefts are on the rise in Canada, with 24% of Canadian online consumers reporting at least one theft in the past year, a figure that rises to 66% in Ontario.
Police urge victims to report thefts and provide any evidence to them for investigation and potential charges.
Defamation charges may be levied against those who post security footage of their packages being stolen.
Public reactions to the police warning are mixed, with some criticizing the focus on protecting criminals' privacy over victims' rights.
