Apparently, it was for helping retrieval if a laptop was lost or stolen. Though the district decided not to tell anyone about this and the webcam was activated on a laptop that wasn't reported missing.

I CAN SEE THE KEYBOARD! THE LAPTOP MUST BE CLOSED AT THE MOMENT!
It's called a GPS tracker... This is BS.

Lol damn, didn't take that into account. Laptops are usually closed and even if. It's pretty unlikely to spot the laptop just with the webcam, if you see a random landscape around. xd

Exactly. Which is why it's pretty obvious someone is lying out their ass.

lol there whole story got destroyed in two pages on a internet forum. I would love to see what happens to them if they go to court. And i would hate to be there lawyer.

This is surprising how?
This probably won't go to court. It will be settled out of court, someone's going to get ganked by the FBI and this issue is going to disappear into obscurity soon.
Havoc10K:
if it did go to the court it would mean the end of the school, they would sooner pay an unimaginable money rather that see this courted out.
Scudworth:
If they still have the files or they can be recovered then they should be charged with possession of child pornography.
Next time maybe they'll keep their mouths shut.

I remember something similar being used to recover stolen goods before. The point is not to find WHERE the laptop is, it is to find out WHO has it. You remotely activate the camera and try to get a picture of the user.
From a quick Google search, I found a story similar to the one I was talking about: http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/mac-thief-caught-on-webcam/2008/05/12/1210444306538.html

spying on students, tough with sexy cheerleaders (if any) could be productive, is illegal.
