British schools put cameras in bathrooms, lockers
LONDON – At the King Ecgbert School in Sheffield, teens who go to the bathroom are never really alone – video cameras are inside all 12 loos.
Citing findings gathered via freedom-of-information requests, privacy activists Wednesday identified King Ecgbert as one of more than 200 high schools across Britain that have installed surveillance cameras in bathrooms or locker rooms.
The group behind the report, Big Brother Watch, said a powerful watchdog is needed to ensure that students’ privacy is protected.
