  • Essay / A mule for a drug cartel in Venezuela - 1160

    John Doe, at age 33, was a mule for a drug cartel in Venezuela. He had the choice between carrying seven kilos to Canada or killing his family. To make the process go smoothly, he destroyed all identification and put his plan into action. He told Canadian Immigration that he was an illegal immigrant and should be immediately deported back to his country, but with complications the government wanted to check his background and released him. The next day, he continued and tried to deliver the drugs downtown, but was caught. The police lacked evidence to have him handed over and therefore accused him of “trafficking”. The accusation became even more serious when he claimed that he had never used drugs himself and that his family would be safe if he carried drugs. During this time, he remained in the country for more than four months. The police were reportedly the first to contact John Doe. They knew what he had done and the next day he was caught trafficking again in the city center, but the police could not arrest him on the first try, due to lack of evidence, but charged a serious charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking. Upon arrest, they should introduce themselves as police officers, inform John Doe that he is under arrest, tell him why he is under arrest and present the warrant (if there is one) and the touch to show that he is in custody. , and finally inform him of the charter of rights. The police would conduct a search, which would be linked to warrants that had to be legal and reasonable given the crime committed. After the search, they allegedly noted the possession of illegal drugs, even if it was under the impression of a specific intention. He would have... middle of paper... and the border is very firm on who to let in. Even if John Doe's family was not threatened, I would believe that he would still deliver the drugs and his prison sentence will make him realize that he should not be gullible or have the right to risk his own life as well as that of his family just to earn money. The justice system in Canada is designed to protect the victim. John Doe may view the justice system as unfair, but he also knows that drug dealing, no matter the illicit drug, would carry heavy penalties. The law on illegal immigrants is therefore not enough. I hope John Doe has learned his lesson from the drug trafficking industry, because she will be left to rot in prison for a long time. The main concept of criminal law is to protect people and all property and preserve the norms of society without chaos occurring. Without criminal law, our society would be a real tumult.
