Think about what would happen if I were to donate a pallet of laptops to my niece's school, and then one of the parents accused me of spying on their kids through the camera.
My house would be raided by a SWAT team and everything electronic in it would be taken...TVs hard-drives, computers, computer monitors, networking equipment, routers, servers, camera equipment, everything.
The fact that this isn't happening to the school administrators is hideous. Not only did they admit that what they're being accused of is possible, they demonstrated it!

Disabling the camera was an offense punished by expulsion. To put that in perspective, I think most school districts punish students this way if they bring a loaded rifle to school.
- markkanof 17y agoCan you point to documentation of this? It definitely sounds like something a school district would do. I am just asking because I have seen this stated in a bunch of hacker news comments, but haven't seen where this information came from.
