minus-squareStopthatgirl7@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up40·4 months agoWhy on earth would they put cameras in locker rooms?! That vague “safety and security” Is not going to cut it as an acceptable reason. This wouldn’t fly as a reason to put cameras in women’s locker room, and it shouldn’t fly as a reason to put on in men’s, either.
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·4 months agoI’m assuming there’s either stealing issues, or some form of harassment happening. Doesn’t matter, the camera is passive and not going to correct whatever liability concern have; while introducing entirely new liability concerns…

I’m assuming they also can’t admit they have an issue with thieves because it could make them look bad?
