Or um... maybe just changing, and the camera happens to be on?

I was using some creative license... it draws a more colorful picture for the reader.

unbelievable. it's one thing if they are using them at the school (place of work,etc), but at the end users private residence?

heads are gonna roll

A Nemo sticker is guarding my laptops camera. Not that anyone cares what I do on my laptop, but Id rather have Nemo's eyes looking at me than a camera.

and a student is under 18....thus MOST agreements are null and void as a minor is not legally liable to sign documents.

Get'em use to having no privacy while they're young.

It's just that much easier to spy on them when they're adults. Welcome to the Brave New World comrades!

Re the bolded section:

Who signed the agreements, the parents or the students? Conventional wisdom suggests it was the parents. That said, the school system and its' insurer is going to pay big-time.

And a lot of families with school-issued laptops will disable cameras with strips of tape, or hammers.

I wouldn't have taken the laptop it is a Mac.

Pedo BEAR!!! good one.

Update: "Yeah, we installed the spy cameras. But we weren't gonna do anything bad with 'em. And we already turned 'em off. Honest."

linky

Also: what kind of rube lawyer lets the defendant send a letter to the plaintiffs after the lawsuit has been filed? Especially when that letter contains an admission of guilt?

Hey they were just trying to get a little extra funding for the school. Do you have any idea how much a porn site featuring REAL high school cheerleaders would make?

After all they were only thinking of the children...

There is a prison-sentence's difference between "thinking of" and "thinking about" the children.

Hey, I can think about 'em all I want. Don't take that away from me.

Hmmm ... before we get into the possible child-porn aspect of this, I wonder which if any eavesdropping and stalking laws might apply?

"The District never activated the security feature for any other purpose or in any other manner whatsoever"

Oh, yeah? Then how was this kid busted doing whatever it was he was doing?

You'll just have to trust us. We're in charge.

At the very least, it seems wiretapping laws apply.

I'm not saying they didn't do it, but is it possible that the kid took the picture himself and later on they found the file on his hard drive? That would still mean they were snooping on his computer, though.

As of yesterday, the district attorney's office is taking a close exam at things to see if there are any criminal matters involved since the wiretap act was potentially wronged. Also, the Fbi is investigating..

Update: The family's lawyer says the student in question was disciplined for consuming what a school administrator thought were pills, but were in fact Mike & Ikes.

I didn't know Mike & Ike's were a controlled substance.
