Last week, we reported on the shocking events that were happening at Lower Merion High School District in Pennsylvania, PA. The FBI later announced that they will begin a criminal investigation on the issue.

Students that had school-issued laptops were being spied on using the webcam on the computer. This had repordedly been happening for the past 14 months, but was recently discovered when a school punished a student named Blake Robbins for "improper behavior in his home," with the Vice Principal even providing a photo as evidence. A lawsuit on behalf of all students with school-issued laptops has been filed.

The school responded to all of the reports, saying that the feature was installed to find a stolen laptop and to return it to the student. The school apparently remotely activated 42 webcams on student laptops.

The video below shows how the school connects to the webcam, what they do and why. They can see all the applications and webpages the students have open and monitor the student's computer usage. The choice is yours, was this really a way to get back a stolen laptop, or is it a technology that violated students privacy at home?
