Ghana must make it a crime to loot the contents of an accident vehicle. Where are our manners. People capitalizing on someone else’s calamity must be punished by law . A vehicle is involved in accident with casualties and yet citizens without heart will steal from passengers and loot their stuff . This is a shame and must be condemned.

This Shows Clearly That, It Is The NDC Supporters. We Saw During The Presidential General Election When The NDC Leaders And Their Criminals Supporters Stole The Verdict. Their Supporters Were Looting NANA Addo School Feeding Programmed Food For Themselves. NDC Supporters Are All Hungry People. Them Belly Full But Hungry And An Hungry Man Is Angry. Aimless And Murderers Party. More Than Four Million Nigerians Has The Ghana Citizenship Card And This Foreigners Voted For John Mahama And NDC Because, John Mahama Is From Nigeria.

Looting or taking goods from an overturned vehicle without permission is a crime, typically charged as theft or larceny. The fact that the vehicle was in an accident does not give the public permission to take items that do not belong to them.
Factors in charging a crime
Ownership: The goods still belong to the vehicle's owner or the company that was transporting them. It is not considered "abandoned" property that is free for the taking.
Intent: Law enforcement can prove theft by showing that a person intended to permanently deprive the rightful owner of their property.
Type of goods: While the value of the goods may determine whether the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony, the legality of the act itself does not change. Even if the items are perishable or seemingly damaged, they are still considered the property of the owner.
Legal penalties: Depending on the value of the stolen goods, looting an overturned vehicle can lead to charges of petty larceny or grand larceny, with penalties that can range from fines to jail time.
Moral and ethical considerations
In addition to the legal issues, there are serious ethical concerns when looting an accident scene. As reported in news and social media, bystanders have been known to rush to loot cargo instead of helping victims trapped in an overturned vehicle. This behavior is considered a chilling example of a loss of humanity at a tragic scene.

Everyone is talking about the overturned truck and looting. Nobody is asking how the truck got overturned. Most trucks are overloaded and ply the roads unchecked. So with very little imbalance, they get into these types of accidents. Sometimes the truck is faulty and cannot bear its load, yet they are allowed to go unchecked.
I think height bars must be installed on the highways so that any truck that loads above a certain height, about 12 ft from the ground, cannot cross and this will be an automatic check for the drivers and merchants.

Are these animals or human beings? Instead of assisting the injured driver and his assistant, look at how these animals are doing? Very disturbing and nauseating.
