We are a city of a million, there's going to be some perverts out there and I wouldn't want want to live in "fear" but I don't think we should find comfort that this guy was caught. I mean, praise the cops for the swift action in this case, but there's still a lot of sickos out there.

You are a very bleak person.

It genuinely sucks that it happens here in Calgary, but we're a major City, having crazies is part of the deal.

Oh man, I disagree.
If you spend any time on twitter just search "creep" or "creeper".
In my opinion this is not a one off.

There's a difference in saying that "we" (not that I really have to worry) shouldn't live in fear because of creeps like this and saying that this was a one-off. I would agree with the former, but the latter is clearly wrong. Just ask Scott Young, Chad Barry Robert Stone, Dean Irvine, Hisham Sultan, Ting Kay Chu and the parade of other Albertan perverts caught videotaping.

Between this and the anti-Islam dumbasses, what a crappy week for Calgary.

I think I found the rest of the 3% club. 17,000/1M is 1.7% so we're getting close to cracking the case.

Correction. The internet is a cesspool for stuff like this. The internet makes it easy for perverts to find each other, which helps to normalize their behaviour.

If you don't have a Twitter account, how do you report these accounts? There is a person in Vancouver doing some similar garbage, and it looks really recent. Maybe the Crackmacs' couple can tweet it out.

Since when did 'Creepin' have anything but a very negative connotation?
By definition 'creeping' on someone made one a 'creep' which was less than desirable.
What did I miss?

The only photo on his Facebook includes his daughter. They'll likely blur her face when it's finally posted but this is going to mess up her life for a while.

Who could be scared of a Jeffrey? Generally just a nice bloke from down the road.

So, I'm not sure if anyone has noted this yet, but I'm pretty sure this isn't against the law. At least, it's not contra the Criminal Code provision on voyeurism he was charged with, on its face. I didn't know that provision existed, so I haven't read the cases, but it's wholly prefaced on the person being voyeur...ed? being in a context where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. Say, your apartment or a bathroom stall. Not the sidewalk. It's aimed at spying on people when they're in private, basically.
The whole thing might get granier when you start talking about looking up women's skirts, but I don't think it's broad enough to cover walking behind a girl on the street and filming her butt. That's just not the behaviour it was drafted to cover.
Incidentally, if it were broad enough, it'd have some interesting results, because that code provision does't distinguish between filming and mere observation. In other words, if he were convicted, it would suggest that you could be charged just for leering at girls in public. Which also seems like an unintended consequence... I suspect that some people would be in favour of such a law, even so.
