Court documents have revealed that Saanich Police were aware of the activities of Yin Yeung Derek Chan, identified as Canada’s most prolific voyeur, for over a month without taking action. Chan was seen using his phone in various businesses, including Fitness World and Value Village, where he had previously recorded numerous women and girls without their consent. During this period, he was out on bail and in violation of his bail conditions. A Crown lawyer expressed concerns that Chan was actively looking for more victims during this time, which raises significant questions regarding police intervention and bail management practices. The case highlights ongoing issues surrounding the accountability of individuals with a history of voyeuristic behaviour and the challenges faced by law enforcement in responding to such cases under existing legal frameworks.
