and what is the "right" thing with regards to a coat hook camera?
I know someone who put a spy camera in their kitchen to catch a person drugging their beverages. Could've just as easily been a coat hook spy camera.
To go at it from another angle, how about those snake cameras that bomb detection units sometimes use. You can use that for illicit purposes and good purposes.
I'm not saying the wrong thing is to ban these things, all I'm saying is that it's not quite so black and white as some people are making this out to be.
- thsksbd 3y agoIt's advertised as a towel hook. By their own admission, the product is designed, meant and marketed to be used in a bathroom. That's what's great about the case. They can't claim that they're not liable because it is meant for legitimate use because they advertise specifically for an illegal use. By their own admission, they have to find a legitimate use of a bathroom spy cam.
- tzs 3y agoThe archive.org copy of the listing linked elsewhere in this thread shows it listed as a clothes hook. One of the photos does show towels on it, suggesting it can work as a towel hook, but another shows a coat on it and is not in a bathroom.
- thsksbd 3y agoDoesn't matter what other uses they marketed; they also marketed it as a bathroom spycam. They have to explain what legitimate use there is of marketing a bathroom spycam. Its kinda nasty, actually. stretching it, there might be legitimate reasons for a camera in a bathroom (say the elderly, or making sure a drug test is done honestly). But a hidden camera? No way.
