CCTV In School Toilets 32
An anonymous reader writes "Students at Grace Academy in Chelmsley Wood, UK, have returned from half-term break to find staff had installed cameras in bathrooms without notifying them or their parents. Some parents are furious at what they say is a 'total invasion of privacy' and claim some pupils are so anxious about being watched they are refusing to use the facilities."

2. Have a lawyer supoena the tapes for that time as part of an invasion of privacy lawsuit.
3. Have any school employee associated with this scheme arrested for possession child pornography.
Really, what kind of images did they think they were going to get with this system?

When I was in grade school, I went to a small four-room schoolhouse with two bathrooms at the end of the hall. The seven adults at the school also used the same bathrooms. All was quiet. Then they added an extension, with a teacher's lounge and bathroom. Immediately there were serious problems with smoking, drugs and sexual harassment and even a couple of cases of rape in those same two bathrooms at the end of the hall. After I caught two girls and a boy spying on me in the stall (the girls started giggling when the boy looked), I ended up with a severe kidney infection from refusing to use the bathroom at school.
