Lower Merion School District employees activated the Web cameras and Internet address tracking software on IBM thinkpad r60e battery laptops they gave to high school students about 146 times during the last two school years, snapping nearly 56,000 images, district investigators have concluded.
Those computers - programmed to snap a photo and capture a screenshot every 15 minutes when the machine was on - fired nearly 13,000 images back to the school-district servers.Hockeimer declined to describe in detail any of the recovered Web-cam photos inspiron 1521 battery , or identify the people in them or their surroundings.
Hockeimer said that the district's internal investigation was ongoing and that the numbers could change IBM thinkpad t42 battery . He said the board authorized him to release the information in response to a court motion filed last week by Harriton High School sophomore Blake Robbins, whose lawsuit contends the program invaded his privacy.
In the motion, Robbins' attorney, Mark Haltzman, argued that the now-disabled system surreptitiously collected more than 400 photos of his client - including shots of him when he was shirtless and while he slept in his bed last fall on thinkpad x60 battery - as well as thousands of images from other students' computers.
The system was designed to automatically purge all the images after the tracking was deactivated. The tracking system continued to store images from those computers for nearly six months, until police recovered them and charged a suspect with theft in March 2009.In a few other cases, Hockeimer said, the team has been unable to recover IBM thinkpad X60S battery images or photos stored by the tracking system.
Only two employees - thinkpad t43 battery information systems coordinator Carol Cafiero and network technician Mike Perbix - could actually turn on and off the tracking. Hockeimer said the district investigators have no evidence to suggest either Perbix or Cafiero activated the system without being asked.
But the requests were loose and disorganized, he said, sometimes amounting to just a brief e-mail to Dell inspiron 1525 battery .He said none appeared to be salacious or inappropriate images but said that in no way justified the use of the program.
