[deleted] Even if the guy gets the maximum, they don’t stack the sentences, they are all combined which is an absolute joke. He’s 30 years old he’ll be out before he’s 45-50.
To get around this they should find a way to charge him with breaking laws under separate jurisdictions and give him separate sentences. When he is finished with one sentence he can be released to the other jurisdiction to complete his next sentence.
In Canada it is possible in some circumstances to be charged separately under both federal and provincial laws for the same act. This is known as “dual sovereignty.”
If someone commits an act that violates both a federal law and a provincial law they can be prosecuted separately under both sets of laws. Each level of government has its own jurisdiction and can enforce its own laws independently. He undoubtedly committed motor vehicle violations under provincial law. Dual sovereignty is a fundamental principle of Western jurisprudence even in Canada.
However, the principle of “double jeopardy” applies, meaning that a person cannot be tried twice for the same offense in the same jurisdiction. But since federal and provincial laws are considered separate, being charged under both does not violate this principle.
