The councillor documents alleged bylaw violations by taking photos — or instructing Haynes to — that are apparently to be sent to bylaw enforcement. During the recording, which was made as the councillor drove his own black Jeep, Karygiannis doesn’t always identify himself as a city councillor to those with whom he speaks. In the recording, Karygiannis tells Haynes to be “nice, calm, not aggressive” when speaking with constituents, and to identify himself as a staffer. In November 2019, he was removed from city council for overspending a 2018 campaign limit under provincial election rules. In an encounter heard on the recording, Karygiannis speaks to a woman about vehicles parked on a cul-de-sac.
