Lawyer Looks Into Webcam Spying Lawsuit

Suit Alleges School Violated Privacy Rights

PHILADELPHIA - There are shocking allegations in a federal lawsuit that says the Lower Merion School District spied on its students at home through school-issued laptops' webcams.

A student at Harriton High School filed the lawsuit after he says a picture of him was taken inside his room and later shown to him at school.

The suit alleges this spying violated everything from the Fourth Amendment to wiretapping, electronic communications and computer fraud laws.

Attorney Amy Feldman discusses the legal implications of the lawsuit's claims, such as whether issuing laptops gives a school the right to spy on students off school property?
