No Criminal Charges After Racist Incident In Richmond Parking Lot: RCMP

Darpan News Desk, 29 Aug, 2019 07:24 PM

    On August 23rd, Richmond RCMP received a complaint posted on social media of an incident at a Richmond parking lot.

     

    Over the last three days, Richmond Detachment investigators have worked diligently to gather the required facts and evidence to make an informed decision as to how to proceed with this matter.

     

    While we understand the contents of the video and interaction is disturbing and troubling, in consultation with the BC Prosecution Service it has been determined that this matter will not proceed to criminal charges.

     

     

    Richmond RCMP would like to remind the public that while this incident does not meet the threshold for criminal charge, some of the responses on social media could be considered criminal in nature.

     

    We can appreciate that the community here in Richmond and the extended community online feels strongly about comments made in the video, but we would certainly not wish for anyone to cross the line from spirited conversation to criminal cyberbullying. We must respect this individual is still entitled to due process and has a reasonable expectation of personal privacy, says Inspector Sunny Parmar.

     

     

    The City of Richmond is a diverse, and multi-cultural community. Public safety is a priority for us and the members of the Richmond RCMP take a great deal of pride in working here and ensuring that it is a safe community for all of its residents and visitors.
