    Man Caught Using a Hidden Video Camera to Spy on Friends Using his Bathroom

    A man alleged to have video recorded female friends while using a bathroom in his home has been charged with two misdemeanors. The man was reported to have shown the video to one of the victims who then reported the incident to authorities. The patch work of state and federal laws intended to protect the privacy rights of individuals are falling behind the pace of technology. Domestic violence is increasingly complicated by the misuse of surveillance technologies that are affordable and accessible to abusers.
