http://whyy.org/cms/news/regional-news/2010/02/18/lawsuit-lower-merion-spied-on-student-through-district-provided-webcam/31063One story that the high school is telling is that they only secretly took photos on the web cams when a laptop was lost or stolen. The ACLU doesn't believe it and has filed a lawsuit. This involves Lower Merion School District's school-issued laptops that students could take home.
