This is not the first time. There are other stories of innocent people spending weeks in jail because of this.

This being Canada, as opposed to countries like Singapore that have effective justice systems, this individual if convicted will get a light sentence in a Cadian prison, which is like being sent to a five star resort.

What bothers me the most is that the charges are way to light. Anyone who commits an act that has an innocent person detained should be charged with forcible confinement or kidnapping and if the innocent person is injured by police or in jail, then an assault charge is warranted. This is the same legal basis that a person who commits a swatting where an innocent person is killed that felony murder charges can be brought in some states.

In closing this individual, if found guily, should be forced to reimburse Air Canada shareholders for any expenses including any compensation paid.
