It is becoming more than obvious that since carding has been stopped in Toronto crime has been increasing. As just reported in the Toronto Sun on March 2nd, there have been 24 homicides in Toronto alone between Dec 1, 2015 and Feb 29, 2016, with majority being person shot with firearms. This is an incredible spike of 150% over same time last year.
Let’s walk through the difference on the streets today since the police in Toronto were forced to abandon the tool of Police Carding. Today a bad guy will carry a firearm more often than not, just by the fact he or she knows a police officer will not stop and interview them as in the past when there was carding. I have spoken to several officers who admit there is no way they are going to take a chance and stop someone and then get called up on the carpet by police management, media or special interest groups.
