Bullshit they did. “Why yes, Miss Yaniv, we’ll spare no effort to find out who didn’t actually commit a crime! How dare he take photos that prove you’re lying about your disability! And you say he’s some sort of nignog?”
Even if the police have the photo of the photographer, likely nothing will come of it. So many people get actually assaulted on the transit in BC, the police aren't likely to waste their time on looking for one person who took some pictures.
As much as I'd file this under "Stuff that never happened for $2000, Alex," it's not totally impossible that the transit authority (or whatever body) did a rather cursory review of any available security footage and determined nothing happened that requires police intervention -- if for no other reason than to say they did look into the matter and found nothing actionable should JY further complain about the incident.
If photographing people in public is a crime in BC, Yaniv should be in jail for those bathroom pics he posted on the web. But I guess if Yaniv can get the cops to give him the name of the "Asian kid," he can file some kind of pest action against him or have his legal service fire off an impressive $20 cease and desist letter.
Barring any specific laws that would restrict such activity, photographing people -- especially adults -- in a public place such as the public transit system generally tends to be legal.
Photos taken in bathrooms or locker rooms are an issue because those areas have a greater expectation of privacy due to people using those facilities for stuff that usually stays private (changing clothes, showering, etc) and shouldn't be circulated via photographs.
If I recall, JY's bathroom selfies included what appeared to be minors in the background with no effort to exclude them from the photo or blur their faces on account of their age. That would, and should, be more of a concern than someone snapping a photo of an adult standing next to a mobility scooter on the subway.
Finally, it's interesting to see the emphasis on the race or ethnicity of those deemed to be engaged in inappropriate behavior towards JY. In recent examples, It's the "Asian kid" or the Southeast Asian people wronging JY or drawing JY's ire. It's probably not surprising, though, after reading JY's recent BCHRT testimony that reveals a general lack of fondness of (and an implied lack of respect for) these minorities that have immigrated to the Vancouver region. For someone quick to complain about transgendered discrimination, JY is oblivious when it comes to their own discriminatory behavior and prejudices.
ETA:
Are all of the women Tampon Johnny has targeted in his #waxmyballs scheme minorities? Are there any white women in the group or is it all minority/immigrant attacks on his part?
I was actually thinking about this as I composed my reply. If JY finds Southeast Asian immigrants dirty or otherwise undesirable, wouldn't it make more sense to try to find someone that's not in that particular minority group -- if possible -- if this was all about finding someone to perform the desired waxing services and less about filing over a dozen BCHRT complaints in an attempt to win oppression points and bux from the tribunal?
