Surrey Creep Catchers has been ordered to destroy videos in two cases where people targeted may be innocent.

The B.C. privacy commissioner dealt the big blow to the network of “creep catcher” organizations Tuesday.

If Creep Catchers does not remove the videos, the organization could face hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines as well as prosecution in court and future videos posted by the group could also breach privacy rules.

Acting Commissioner Drew McArthur ruled Surrey Creep Catchers relied on dubious facts to shame its targets online rather than carrying out investigations with the intent of protecting the public.

The lawyer who represented the two targets – one of them a young man with cerebral palsy who was hit by a car at the end of one of the Creep Catchers videos – said the decision is just a first step that could open up the Creep Catchers to hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.

But the president of SCC is remaining defiant.

“We have 30 days to destroy all information on these predators that lure children out to do sexual things. I told them to go f--- themselves,” Ryan Laforge says in a video while waiting for a target in a video confrontation.

“I will never take these videos down voluntarily. I will fight to the end to keep these videos up.”
