When you find hidden security cameras in bathrooms, changing rooms, and other intimate places, do not touch the video cameras with your bare hands, to avoid possible contamination of key evidence.
Instead, you may collect concrete proof and take legal action to defend your privacy.
Note that the following tips don’t apply to the cases when security cameras are set up and operated in bathrooms within the laws (with proper notices & no intimate activity is filmed).
Collect amicable and credible evidence
- Take pictures and record videos: Such materials will be used as evidence for legal action.
- Use video surveillance to local law: Read local laws regarding the legality of CCCTV cameras in bathrooms. Always consult a lawyer in case you are in doubt of anything.
- Leave the premises: Once you feel you are in danger, vacate the premises immediately.
- Unplug the device: If you feel uncomfortable, remove the camera.
- Confront the business owner: If no notice was there, take legal action. Maybe the owner installed the camera secretly.
