This sort of stuff is what makes many people nervous about widespread surveillance cameras in public places. The Register is reporting that two employees entrusted with keeping the streets safe though CCTV have been suspended for using the technology to peep into a woman's apartment:
Council suspends CCTV Peeping Toms | The Register:"Police are investigating a a trio of municipal 'Peeping Toms' from Sefton, Merseyside who reportedly trained a street safety CCTV camera on a woman's flat in Liverpool's Bootle district, UK tabloid the Sun reports.
The three have been suspended 'pending a full internal investigation into alleged breaches of the council's policies and procedures,' as a Sefton council spokesman put it. Police confirmed that they are 'currently investigating allegations under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 and we are talking to a number of people', although no-one has been arrested.
The triumvirate of alleged snoops work in the Sefton council street safety camera centre, which controls 70 CCTV cameras across Merseyside."
