Hate crime charges laid against passenger in Calgary taxi abuse video
Quote:
A woman who was caught on CCTV video abusing a Calgary taxi driver has been charged with a hate crime.
Twenty-four-year-old Brittany Bachinsky is charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm in the July 2014 incident. The video was released to Global News in July 2015.

The video obtained by Global News shows Bachinsky berating the cab driver, saying, “I don’t know why the f–k they let people like this into our f—ing country.
“You shouldn’t be allowed in my country.”
Safou Ranna is the taxi driver shown in the video and has been driving a Calgary cab for two years.
“Your country? It’s not your country,” says Ranna in the video.
“It is my f—ing country buddy, where are you from? Where are you from?” replies Bachinsky.
Police said they believe Bachinsky saw the video that aired on Global News July 21 and recognized herself, but failed to turn herself in.
Bachinsky was arrested and released on a promise to appear in court. Her first court appearance is set for Oct. 1.
Police are still looking for a passenger who was riding in the front seat. Investigators said he will also face charges.
