You’ve probably heard this story in the news: Lower Merion School District in Philadelphia gave out laptops to their high school students and used the built-in camera to spy on them. The administrators had the ability to remotely turn on the webcams so the students could be watched outside school grounds. After being caught red-handed, the school claimed this was a security measure meant to find stolen laptops. Having been sued by one student and entering a legal investigation concerning privacy issues, the school has since shut down the webcam “security” feature.
This here video is a “hypothetical look inside the webcam-spying principal’s office,” brought to you by Giz’s Adam Frucci and DC Pierson of Derrick Comedy fame.
