--- Quote ---The suit says Lower Merion School District officials can activate the webcams remotely without students' knowledge. The lawsuit alleges the cameras captured images of Harriton High School students and their families as they undressed and in other compromising situations.

Families learned of the alleged webcam images when an assistant principal spoke to a student about inappropriate behavior at home.

The school is so going to lose this case. What exactly is the point of this program? Because it doesn't even sound like that feature has any kind of purpose unless they're running some kind of undercover sting operation. On everyone. Who might do something illegal in front of the webcam. I didn't even want a webcam installed in my laptop.
