School Didn't Spy, Just Had Crappy Privacy Policies

[anamaniac]

[citation][nom]techguy911[/nom]So in plain language children don't have right to privacy under the law so it's ok to take a snapshot of half naked middle school girls?.Sounds like they are pulling same stunt as the roman catholic church deny that anything bad happened and sweep it under the rug to hide it.[/citation]
From all that I can tell, you have no legal right of privacy until you are 18...

Oh god.... THAT'S the excuse? I still think there should be some kind of legal action.

By this reasoning a peedo can buy a child a laptop and have it take a pic every so often. Long as its not actively spying and the law can't touch them. LOL this is so stupid.

Taking a pic of a child without cloths is child porn no matter active or not. Even the chance of a child without cloths on in a pic should make this illegal.

The only way this argument should work is with stationary cams around the school and not in bathrooms. Laptops can be taking into bathrooms or where ever so no argument really will work.

2 words: "damage control" Of course there attorneys would want them to appear stupid instead of criminal. Duh!

I'm not so sure that the lawyers for the school will prevail in this case.

That school needs to be corrected and it's personnel need to be prosecuted so that this crap doesn't happen again. If they aren't it WILL happen again.

The lawyers did what they were paid to do by their client.

Can you post in any of these threads without regurgitating your political views? Someone might actually take you seriously then.

"According to a report conducted by attorneys hired by Lower Merion School District, the school staff did not spy on students."

Well if the school's lawyers say its true then that's that.

Honest Officer, I wasn't speeding - I just had crappy speed observation. ... is this a joke? Since when was ignorance a defense?

So the IT department knew the computer was rented to the student and not stolen which means they should never have turn on the spyware device. The school district lawyers and getting big bucks to remove their heads from their arsess.

I used to live near Lower Merion. This lawsuit just makes me sad. There were probably wrong doing of some kind, but was it necessary to involve massive media coverage and a lawsuit.

There are two sides to every story, and this will eventually end up making both the student and school look bad. I'll resolve my judgment of the case until all evidences have been heard.

How could the student end up looking bad? The school now even publicly admits that the student did nothing wrong. Yes there are 2 sides to every story, but that doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want and get away with it. Besides, this article is all about the school's side of the story - yet they are still the ones looking bad.
