Can this decal get me into actual legal trouble?

In the last 15 years I’ve been left angry notes, my tires deflated, and I’ve been keyed. Can someone accuse this as hate speech under the new bill?

I’m sure this is protected under the charter but I just want to say I seriously HATE this hate speech bill. What a load of garbage.

    I’m sorry I don’t follow how that sticker would be related to bil c9?

      Their sticker is causing others to perform hate-speech on the owner. They’re wondering if that would count as per c9.

        If there is no other crime then no, the new crime can only be tacked on to an existing crime. it seems like they are committing vandalism, so perhaps under the new law they could get a charge commensurate to the penalty for vandalism probably not worth the extra lawyering imo.

    This is probably the symbol that’s getting your tires deflated.

      Can you elaborate? You think a 16 year old bmw is triggering people?

      At least I have no payments and I don’t drive a modern car that connects to the internet. That shit is pathetic.

        I had a 325i and it was keyed twice and pretty sure the door handle was pissed on once. And I didn’t drive like a dink, unlike most BMW owners, I realized my car came stock with signal lights that worked and I used them. But that’s been my experience with owning a BMW.

        And I’m with you on the “smart” features. I’ll be fucked if I have a connected vehicle. My 18 year old Ford pickup with hand-cranked windows and an FM radio are the sweet spot for me.
