School Spies Article

With regards to the article 'School Spies on Students at Home With Webcams: Suit'
There is no conceivable argument that could possibly explain or justify the actions of the Lower Marion School District. To install tracking and remote access technology to secure their computers is one thing. To use this technology to spy on students... to invade their privacy and their homes... is both morally bankrupt and blatantly illegal. Even in an era of dwindling rights and increasingly more invasive government surveillance, even local law enforcement needs to obtain a warrant and permission for wire taps and cameras. It is creepy and it raises questions: Just when these cameras were active? Who was viewing them? Were these activations recorded? A larger question that I didn't see addressed in the article is the idea that the laptops more than likely were used in minors sleeping areas... bedrooms. That opens the door to possible child pornography charges if anyone activated the cameras/recorded while the students were changing etc. That is some scary shit.
