.hopeless. Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 didnt find it when i searched for it...what the fuck is this bullshit? Student claims school spied on him via computer webcam By Dan Hardy and Bonnie L. Cook Inquirer Staff Writers A Lower Merion family has set off a furor among students, parents, and civil liberties groups by alleging that Harriton High School officials used a webcam on a school-issued laptop to spy on their 15-year-old son at home. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court, the family said the school's assistant principal had confronted their son, told him he had "engaged in improper behavior in [his] home, and cited as evidence a photograph from the webcam embedded in [his] personal laptop issued by the school district." The suit contends the Lower Merion School District, one of the most prosperous and highest-achieving in the state, had the ability to turn on students' webcams and illegally invade their privacy. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/homepage/20100219_Student_claims_school_spied_on_him_via_computer_webcam.html follow the link.wall of text wall of text.

Feed Yer Ego Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 "Fueled with state grants, the Lower Merion district issued laptops to all 2,300 high school students, starting last school year at Harriton and later at Lower Merion High, to promote more "engaged and active learning and enhanced student achievement," these kids gotta all be in a super upper class area if the schools got money like that rich familys bout to get richer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 "Widener University law professor Stephen Henderson said using a laptop camera for home surveillance would violate wiretap laws, even if done to catch a thief." WTF? So some dude breaks into my house, I catch him on video from the little camera in my mac book, but somehow I'd be the one who broke the law? This guy has to be full of shit. Otherwise cams at banks, retail stores, etc. would be deemed unconstitutional and any video evidence would be thrown out of court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I understand that we have no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place. It's way overstepping. This is some bullshit.

lord_casek Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I know, it sounds completely insane. Maybe it's got something to do with the camera being "concealed"? Or maybe the law requires you to have to have one of those "You are under video surveillance" signs up? I'm gonna have to look into this. Wouldn't think so, but please let me know what you find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneekatoke Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 they own the space they monitor w/ cameras. pretty much by walking into their space willingly, you conceit to be monitored. they have a logical reason for the cameras (anti-theft, employee control, etc.). they dont run a pre-teen/teenage whatever only bank/store.
