It isn’t uncommon to hear about people who make false accusations, file false cases, or lie to the police during investigations. People do this as a defence mechanism, as a way to divert attention, protect someone they care about, or even because they think they’re doing the right thing. However, just because a lot of people does something does not make it right. Public mischief is still public mischief, and guilty parties can face huge fines and jail time.
Like any criminal charge, a charge of public mischief should be dealt with swiftly and strategically. You need an experienced criminal defence attorney on your side to handle your. Know that your best defence starts with prompt action and faithfully cooperating with your defence lawyer.
Definition of Public Mischief in Canada
The Criminal Code of Canada says in Section 140 that public mischief is an act to mislead or deceive a peace officer. It can be any of the following:
· Committing any action to cause another person to be suspected of committing an offence, including diverting suspicion from one’s self.
· Making false statements to accuse someone of committing an offence.
· Making a false report of an offence that was not committed such as claiming someone committed domestic violence or sexual assault.
· Reporting a false death or claiming someone who is dead is alive.
· Staging a crime scene including faking a death or kidnapping.
Note that a charge of public mischief is often made with other charges depending on which of the above acts the accused committed
Punishment for a Public Mischief Charge
There are many reasons why people give false or inaccurate information. Some may believe that what they are doing is the right thing or that they could have been fed wrong information. It could be a difference in perception or can be a way to get back to another person as a form of revenge. No matter the reason, a charge of public mischief can have very serious consequences as well as huge fines.

5 年Thank you All Facebook friends for your unwavering support in my fight against the injustices. I am pleased to Inform all the friends that with your kind help and advice and with the kind help of various University's Faculty of the law allowing me to bring this issue of willful "obstruction of Justice" on their Facebook by the very same officers of the court appointed by the federal government of Canada to protect the rights of the Canadian citizens. I was able to file a lawsuit on May 6, 2019 case no. S=195306 that has put the integrity of Canadian justice system and the integrity of judicial officers and the Department of Justice who will be dealing with this case before the court and their ability to honor their pledge and an oath of office to protect the Canadian Constitution and uphold the rule of law impartially and bring the perpetrators to justice in this case on trial. This case will set a new president in Canadian courts either way and whether the Government of Canada will allow those judges to willfully fabricate the evidence in the reasons for judgment and deny justice to the litigants by openly committing criminal acts against its citizens and make them homeless or will the Government remove those judges from the office and protect the citizens from miscarriage of justice? As requested by some of you I will post the progress of this litigation and the outcome of this case and every chambers hearing and the final outcome of this case on my website:Mohdalihirji.com to keep all of you up-to-date who have been following this case. see the Notice of Civil Claim filed in the court registry. https://drive.google.com/open... https://www.facebook.com/100021940598176/videos/2350004951916150/
