B.C. vigilante group ordered to remove photos, details from website
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s information and privacy commissioner has ordered a Surrey-based vigilante group to stop posting personal information about two men the group alleges are linked to child luring.
Acting information and privacy commissioner Drew McArthur says in his ruling that Surrey Creep Catcher violated B.C.’s Personal Information Protection Act by gathering and posting information about the men.
McArthur investigated complaints from two people and says the group used deceptive or misleading practices when it communicated with them and made video recordings of their meetings.
The decision says the recordings were posted to social media along with added allegations that the men had attempted to lure and meet with a minor for sexual purposes.
