Laptop spycam case update: 56,000 images

Follow-up story here. 56,000 images. So they took that many images in an effort to "recover" 80 supposedly missing laptops? We have one name involved with this sleaze-fest: Carol Cafiero. I want to see some more names associated with those responsible for this invasion of the students' privacy and rights. Excerpt:

'PHILADELPHIA – A suburban school district secretly captured at least 56,000 webcam photographs and screen shots from laptops issued to high school students, its lawyer acknowledged Monday.

"It's clear there were students who were likely captured in their homes," said lawyer Henry Hockeimer, who represents the Lower Merion School District.
...
The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported Monday on the large number of images recovered from school servers by forensic computer experts, who were hired after student Blake Robbins filed suit over the tracking practice.

Robbins still doesn't know why the district deployed the software tracking program on his computer, as he had not reported it lost or stolen, his lawyer said.
...
The depositions taken to date have provided contradictory testimony about the reasons for tracking Robbins' laptop. One of the two people authorized to activate the program, technology coordinator Carol Cafiero, invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to answer questions at the deposition, Haltzman said.

About 10 school officials had the right to request an activation, Hockeimer disclosed Monday.

The tracking program helped police identify a suspect not affiliated with the school in the locker room theft, Hockeimer said. The affluent Montgomery County district distributes the Macintosh notebook computers to all 2,300 students at its two high schools, Hockeimer said.'

Yep, the world would be a better place with wymen in charge. Can't wait for it to happen.
/sarcasm

EDIT:
I might add too that this is the kind of stuff wymen like doing: spying and sticking their noses into other peoples lives. As a former property manager, I recall many issues with wymen tenants who had arguments with their wymen landlords, because they (landlords) had a tendency to peek into their drawers, closets, and other personal items. Oh, the little cat fights that would develop! LOL.
