Total Violation of Police Privacy: Cameras Discovered in Locker Room

Witchita, KS - An East High freshman faces expulsion for something the district says never should have happened. Monday Charles Rogers discovered a camera in the foyer of the boyâ??s bathroom. "The camera there period surprised me. It was a little spy camera, I didn't think anything like that was in the bathroom. I didn't think it was the schools, I thought it was a perverted janitor," Charles said.

He took the camera. He says it was in a little hole in the ceiling tile. He also took the receiver which was in the schools auditorium. "It looked like an irregular setup. It wasn't in a security room," his mom Melinda Rogers said.

Mrs. Rogers says what her son did was wrong. But she wants to know why there was a hidden camera to begin with. Eyewitness News asked the district that question.

It says cameras were installed in two boyâ??s bathrooms at East High to see who was drawing graffiti. "The camera was outside the bathroom part, so nobodyâ??s privacy was violated. It's just so they could monitor people going in and out," spokeswoman Susan Arensman said. She says East High is the only school that used them. "It was a mistake and we admit this was a mistake and it won't happen again," Arensman said.

Arensman says the school put up the cameras sometime this year without telling the district. She says the other camera has now been removed.

Rogers has also been removed from East High. Next week he has an expulsion hearing for stealing the camera. "I think he should be punished. But to be expelled for the rest of the year is kind of tough. As misguided as it was, he thought he was doing good in taking down a hidden camera," his mom said. The hearing is next Tuesday, weâ??ll keep you posted on what happens.

Damn! Them perverts find any excuse to put cameras anywhere they want....

[Psycho4Bud]

Another principle that should be fired!!! The student should be disiplined for theft but expulsion is a bit on the extreem side concerning the situation and lack of knowledge of the law!

[darkside]

Theft??? all the kid did was take down an illegal hidden camera that shouldnt have been there in the first place. Whoever authorized it should be fired and the kid should be commended for standing up for the right to privacy.

[Myth1184]

Its not Illegal, you idiots need to READ the article, the Cam was focused on those who were going in and out of the bathroom, it wasnt focused on any stalls, so NOBODYS' rights were violated.

Ya it was in the foyer of the bathroom, it still was in the restroom- people dont need to be watching other going in and out of restrooms at least if you going to hang up a camera put up a sign that says your being watched...

[Psycho4Bud]

Bottom line---You can't put cameras in bathrooms, dressing rooms, locker rooms, etc.... It's funny these school districts don't have MAJOR law suits against them!

[Breukelen advocaat]

The kid's family should be held responsible for the cost of re-installing the camera. When you hit people in the wallet, they understand the consequences of taking things that do not belong to them.
