They wouldn't be there this long if this was just about the taser and/or pepper spray. Something bigger is up.

I think you misunderstood why the cops are there right now. They’re not actually combing through his place and carrying out shit.

They posted a guard, and are waiting for the federal officers who are going to do the weapons search to arrive.

They’re there for that long to avoid Yaniv getting rid of the taser.

That's absolute bullshit from Facebook, you can't use privacy laws to hold up a criminal investigation. I work in privacy so I do have experience in this. Facebook have the worst reputation for privacy law violations though out of any tech company so I'm not surprised.

Meh, the FB are a huge red herring anyways.
They’re creepy as fuck but not illegal. (The one’s we’ve seen anyways.)
Especially not in Yaniv’s case.

That just doesn't make sense though. Whether they are assigned to the Langley detachment or a federal office, all RCMP are sworn police officers and capable of taking care of such a low level task as conducting a search warrant for a taser without needing specialists brought in.
 
Nah... As for employment, Yaniv is self employed, and probably halfway on his way to collecting disability.

Even with a criminal record he can travel to Europe and usually also the US. (Though he might have bad luck on the border.)


As for renting an apartment or condo with a criminal record, that’s usually not a problem either. A landlord can’t get his record without his permission, and even then it’s usually such a headache with a real risk of being sued that many landlords skip it.

(They have to prove that the refusal is because of a criminal record only, and not because of anything else. That’s hard to prove, and with Yaniv’s history of lolsuits quite the risk to take.)


Y’all are jumping the gun and celebrating too soon. The cops are there for the weapon, not to download creepy but legal/unprosecutable FB chats.
Eh, no. I won't reveal my power level, but I have a BC landlord in my family. This relative absolutely refuses to rent to criminals and and landlords do NOT need consent to check if someone has a rap sheet in Canada. Idk who told you that, but they're 100% wrong and most landlords don't skip it. Landlords can see criminal and lodging history if they want. It's part of doing business. If you rent an illegal basement suite they might not check, but that's a punishment in and of itself lmao

I have personally seen landlords tell criminals 'No suites available' or just a straight up "Fuck off" when they apply. This isn't to say Johnny will be on the street, but he'd be living in a much rougher neighborhood with a record to his name, and he won't be able to volunteer.

And if he gets disability, that's satisfying too, for two reasons:
1. Disability is shit in Canada. About 1k a month. Not enough to really live on. Let him stay poor.
2. Disability is income capped in Canada, so if he does get a tugboat and continues working for himself, he can't keep much of the money he earns. It'll be taken from him.

And as for travelling with a criminal record... Have you ever tried to get into the States with even a DUI?

That's the point. The "we're looking for a taser" is just the front. They needed something to issue a search warrant. They're not actually looking for tasers, and they're likely waiting for an extended search warrant that allows them to search his electronics.

Can you think of any reason why it would need to be escalated to a higher authority? Is that done for certain types of cases?

And the whole point I was making to @Fapcop was that this wasn't just about a taser and there was more going on, so you're agreeing with me.

The theory about requesting an extension to an existing warrant to seize electronic devices that weren't originally included makes sense.

The theory that they need specialists for a taser they already have a warrant for makes no sense at all. RCMP from local detachments search residences where trafficking operations were run, that have a shitton of drugs and guns, all the time.
 
Where I'm from in Canada, the local police routinely conduct much larger weapons search warrants for gangs and organized crime. It is not necessary for the local RCMP to wait for the federal RCMP for such a minor search and seizure. It just isn't. Nor is it routine to go and get an entire search warrant for one stupid stun gun. They had to have been watching him for something else to go to these lengths. These are some pretty far lengths.

Yeah, I'm losing track of all the different threads and happenings, sorry. I'm rating myself autistic. It's 1 am here and I really need to go to bed now, but I hope there will be more news in the morning. Semper Fi everyone!

And let's think about the timeline here. JY said his stungun remark at about 2:59 p.m. Pacific. He wasn't there when Anna says the raid started at about 5:45 p.m. and thinks it's an office. His office has been established as a maildrop, so this had to have been taken at his place (most likely) or Mommy's (it's got two people and a dog living there, so backdrops are messier; this is less likely). Either way, wouldn't it have been fairly easy to smuggle an object about the size of a MiFi? Especially given JY's anal talents? Even if those weren't required, we have from @WGkitty that MY was in and out of the apartment, right?

So yeah, unlikely this is JUST about a tazer. But regardless, they should expand the search to 8880 202nd St. Langley.
 
Right well I’m not a doctor but the whole “this is only about the tazer” line is bollocks. If they need federal to get involved maybe it has something to do with him contacting those girls? Because they live far away from him and it’s across state/province lines? Sorry, don’t exactly know how it works.

At the very least, I hope they broke a LOT of stuff while “searching.” Poor cops have been ridden as Yaniv’s personal attention donkeys for a long time and are likely fucking stroppy about his time-wasting antics and hag of a mother. I hope they got a lot of payback when they “searched” the place.

According to the CBC news report running criminal record checks in some circumstances may be considered discriminatory….but in other circumstances “it might make sense” The report uses an example where a single mom is wants to rent out a room in her house and making sure all the applicants interested require a criminal check could be reasonable because of concerns for her and her family’s safety.
And the Human Rights Commission states that: 4.2.9 Criminal or other police record checks, Nothing in section 21(3) of the Code or Regulation 290/98 permits the use of criminal or other police record check in the context of rental housing.
Of course, landlords must get permission before running a criminal check
and if you have any questions contact the OHRC to make sure you are doing the right thing

Can a Landlord request to check a tenant’s criminal record?

No, a Landlord cannot as a condition of renting or providing any service to a Tenant, ask for consent to collect personal information beyond what is necessary to provide tenancy or that service. Requiring a criminal records check is not reasonably necessary.

As a BC tenant and resident, a landlord is NOT entitled to ask for a criminal record check, and IF they wanted one, they would need consent (and would be breaching the PIPA). Plus, when landlords DO collect certain information that is protected by the PIPA. those landlords are then subject to very strict legislation on the handling of such information (i.e., storing/destroying, etc.).

What a potential landlord CAN do with computer access is run someone's name through the CSO website, which will give them very basic details on arrest history and convictions, but it won't provide as full a picture as a true criminal record check. Even with this, there have been cases decided by the Residential Tenancy Branch, that if a prospective landlord is going to run a name through the CSO, they are required to let the prospective tenant know that they are collecting their name for that purpose.

Ohhhh, dude, you got the wrong webzone and province! The first part refers to Ontario, not BC... and second of all, the address is http://tenants.bc.ca/ , NOT tenantsbc.ca. The first one is a government website and the second is... not. And not accurate.

From the actual gov't webzone: http://tenants.bc.ca/personal-information/

INFORMATION LANDLORDS CAN ALWAYS ASK

According to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for BC, landlords can always ask for the following information:
  • name and proof of identity;
  • contact information;
  • name of current and previous landlords;
  • eviction history;
  • addresses of previous residences and how long lived there;
  • reason(s) for leaving previous residences;
  • pet information;
  • expected length of tenancy;
  • **consent for a criminal record check**; and
  • number of occupants

If the landlord sees a conviction, they will usually ask for a record check. If they refuse, then that's very informative, too. If Johnny gets anything related to sex crimes or weapons on his sheet, it'll make his life harder.

As a BC tenant and resident, a landlord is NOT entitled to ask for a criminal record check, and IF they wanted one, they would need consent (and would be breaching the PIPA). Plus, when landlords DO collect certain information that is protected by the PIPA. those landlords are then subject to very strict legislation on the handling of such information (i.e., storing/destroying, etc.).

What a potential landlord CAN do with computer access is run someone's name through the CSO website, which will give them very basic details on arrest history and convictions, but it won't provide as full a picture as a true criminal record check.

Okay, I used the wrong term because I'm not a landlord whoopsie. Anyways, they can't see the details, but a landlord can absolutely see convictions and absolutely allow/refuse tenancy based on that, and it's perfectly legal to do so.

Johnny will have a tougher time finding housing with a record.

Okay JY just arrived to the front of the building to talk to the cops as they were changing shifts. Here is the down low:

This relates to the tazer
JY is not allowed on the property until the search is complete
Warrant is from the federal RCMP and security is being handled by local cops
4 people called federal RCMP which caused this warrant
Langley RCMP knew about tazer but did nothing about it
His pepper spray has been confiscated by Burnaby RCMP earlier
Federal law enforcement is coming in morning to execute search

I take back my earlier pessimism. Drinks!
