District admits to webcam spying (OneNewsNow.com)

District admits to webcam spying (OneNewsNow.com): "PHILADELPHIA – A suburban school district secretly captured at least 56,000 webcam photographs and screen shots from laptops issued to high school students, its lawyer acknowledged Monday.



'It's clear there were students who were likely captured in their homes,' said lawyer Henry Hockeimer, who represents the Lower Merion School District.



None of the images, captured by a tracking program to find missing computers, appeared to be salacious or inappropriate, he said. The district said it remotely activated the tracking software to find 80 missing laptops in the past two years."
