Crime in Quebec will never sleep and 2021 is no exception. Some robbers did not openly show great judgment before finding themselves in court, committing foolish acts and bringing them to ruin. Others have greatly facilitated the work of the police because of distraction, obscenity, or their often mis-designed plan. Here are the cases that caught our attention this year.

A criminal record for a few Such as

In the age of social media, some people are willing to sell their souls for a pittance Such as, The popular Quebec YouTuber with 34 million views, had the brilliant idea of filming a video behind the ears of newcomers.
Lamine Zidani, alias Lamz, to make his 451,000 subscribers laugh, no doubt he will end up with a criminal record and do 80 hours of community service for the attack.
“He uses the event to enhance his vision and popularity by instrumentalizing the event and the legal process,” lamented Judge Katia Léontieff, who also condemned the “provocative person” for pursuing the cyberbullying awareness program.
A funny gun

The proliferation of guns in the Great Montreal area is a whiplash and, unfortunately, they often end up in the wrong hands. A Montreal proved it on the evening of the 1stThere is Last July, he refused to leave his home and shot himself when he tried to intimidate his landlord.
“I do not know how, but when he took the weapon, she pulled herself out, injuring his hand,” he testified. Magazine The owner of the apartment is Parshodham Mahi.
After escaping in a car and leaving personal belongings in his old apartment, Remison Baptist was eventually arrested at the hospital by police and later charged.
A drunken clown at the wheel
Just because we laugh at this does not mean it is fun. The 24-year-old, who was completely drunk, had a bad idea about going to McDonald’s, where he slept on the drive-through line. To top it off, the police officers behind him were waiting for their order. Caught in the act, the young driver fled without worrying about his food, drove two kilometers and stopped at every red light … to his house. The patrol then detained him. Repeated offender is almost three times higher than the legal limit.
He wants to be in jail
Every offender should be eager to get out of jail, but the owner of a pit bull that mutilated a little girl six years ago decided to go to jail … because he was not happy with the terms of his release. Since his detention, Karim Jean-Gilles has pursued no plans to address issues related to his violent behavior. The authorities therefore decided to cancel his legal release.
Put your hand on the fire and let it burn
A man accused of setting fire to cover up a murder in Saint-Ours in Montérégie has eased the task of the police when he was arrested last January.
During their investigation, police learned that Maxime Bujold, 44, went to the hospital to be treated for burns after the fire. He is said to have burned his hand while committing his crime, so he quickly found himself in the officers’ cross chair.
When he appeared via video conference, his right hand was bandaged.
A policeman … guilty again
Our expectations are high for the peace authorities … but instead of complying with the charges, the Bear Boys violate his terms and break them one by one.
The Sûreté du Québec police officer was arrested in 2021 for the fourth time in two years.
He has been charged with sexual assault between June 2019 and October 2020, sexual abuse of a minor under the age of 16, possession of child pornography and seduction by several victims.
Since then, he has only violated his terms, so new charges of cheating, identity fraud, restraining and fraudulent use of the computer have been added.
As if he wants to be confused.
Preventable death

We can not say enough, it has nothing to do with video games and real life. A teenage girl who accidentally hit an adult in the vicinity of Riviere-des-Prairies in Montreal has learned the hard way while driving.
She could not drive, did not even have a license, so her experience was limited to video games. So, the 79-year-old woman wanted to leave and run away because she was dead.
The teenager, who could not reveal his identity because he was a minor, was detained for a maximum of three years, including two in the DPJ’s closed company.
A different “conspirator”
One man, who was caught with more than 1,800 pictures and nearly 300 child pornography videos, believed that the best way out of his legal battle was to pretend to conspire against him. Hacker That threatened him. Bad reflex, because last September Francis Charrant was sentenced to 24 months in prison.
The authorities did not disappoint, nor did they want to avoid punishment by pretending that Chartreuse had tested positive for Covid-19.
Hidden in the wrong place
Playing hide-and-seek with the police is not a recommended activity. The worst man in the game was picked up like a ripe fruit, and while he was trying to escape, La Pesci, out of the way, went to crash his car into a building. The 29-year-old, from Graysfield, was caught on radar operation in January, but refused to stop. After colliding with the business, he hid behind a tree. But the cop was not disappointed, seeing his coat and boots sticking out … good luck next time.
Once is good, twice is not best
The 26-year-old, who was already in turmoil after being arrested for driving under the influence of drugs, decided to add another floor by trying to “steal” his own car from the neighborhood.
He was first arrested while intoxicated in the Grenville-sur-la-Rouge area around 10:30 pm last June, after which the suspect was eventually released after promising to appear after being given a blood sample.
The driver is said to have then decided to do everything he could to recover his car, so he was re-arrested at around 4am when he broke down the door of the building where his vehicle was located.
Taxi pays
It is always a good idea to pack your bags to take a taxi from Quebec to Quinn, Outside. The 23-year-old did not realize it when he embarked on this adventure last October, and it cost $ 885. When it was time to pay, he ran away without paying the driver. The police were called and the taxi driver, like a good Samaritan, agreed to refund him only a portion of the money for the trip.
You should never play with fire

By playing with fire, you can burn yourself out. That is what happened to two firefighters in Anjo district last April.
After smashing the glass door of a business into what appeared to be a rock, two masked youths began pouring a good amount of gasoline into it. But, by igniting the fire, they caused serious injury to themselves due to the explosion. Except for the worst, they could not take the legs around the neck. Do not.
