This story is probably fake, else there would be a famous lawsuit in progress. Also, who is so dumb as to tell their boss that they committed a crime against an intern?

By the way, I love how stupid the responses are. They just completely ignore the invasion of privacy and cruel internet slandering. The coworkers in the (fake?) story are creeps, and the f150 users not far from it >_>

Yeah, that totally sounds fake. It just doesn't have that ring of truth to it.

Not that I disagree, but are you sure it's a crime?  I mean can't companies legally do that thing if they inform you it's possible they do it?  I'm pretty sure I've heard of larger corporations having security cameras in cube farms.  I'm not trying to say the kid verbally agreed to be spied upon, but I'm sure there's a contract of some sort he signed before he started.

Regardless, I can see this being fake, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least partly legitimate.

The coworkers initiated the spying without the knowledge of their boss, and revealed the information on the internet. That must have violated any kind of contract he may have signed (keeping in mind this story is probably fake...)

I think it's illegal to surveil specific people (as opposed to locations) without informing them beforehand, but I could be wrong.

We have security cameras in our building, inside and out, near all the keycard-protected doors. Probably half of the cubicles are visible from those cameras. The labs are most certainly under complete surveillance. That's why it's important to get to know the security guys before borrowing company equipment ^^

It might have been the case that the people who installed the camera were his managers or superiors.  I'm not convinced that what they did is illegal.  I don't think it's ethical, but whether or not it's illegal is questionable, imo.
