I love technology, but some things we're able to build today cheaply and using mass-market parts concerns me. Hidden cameras can be so good now that it is impractical for someone to find them. You may disagree with that assertion, but I'd put to you that maybe you just haven't seen some of the top-end products where the only clue is pin-hole sized, or even invisible like hidden behind the LCD screen of a set top box/clock/etc.

Or maybe you have seen some top-end products without realizing it.

  Or, in this case, perhaps some of the top-end products saw you.

Hidden cameras, hidden microphones, hidden sensors, hidden wifi, etc. Miniaturization has and will lead to these devices becoming more powerful and everywhere in our environment.

  Well one response could be that people develop a habit of using the bathroom or shower in the dark or near-dark whenever they're not entirely sure of the motives of whomever might maintain that bathroom. And a market for stupendously overpowered porrable infrared strobe lights that clip onto the back of your phone case will form alongside it. Whatever does develop as a response, one thing is certain:the victims bear the cost for defending themselves once again. thanks to an often overweening, at best misguided, and to be blunt, possibly self-interested motivation to protect the special interests of aggressors, predators and assholes at the victim's expense. See also: people whose response to someone pointing out that many aftermarket ( and increasingly, factory stock) headlamps are becoming bright enough to blind other drivers is to tell them, with a straight face, to wear sunglasses or get their windows tinted, or look away. At night. While driving.

At lest in this case it was not a top-end product. The girl found out about it and interestingly she's even accusing amazon of "marketing and distributing a defective product"
