Police find 11 hidden cameras in KC woman’s apartment above Freaks Tattoo parlor

[n2doc]

A smoke detector in a 25-year-old Kansas City woman’s apartment above a tattoo parlor apparently was detecting more than just smoke.

A friend visiting her apartment noticed it looked just like one from the box of spy cameras disguised as smoke detectors he had seen in the basement of the business where they both worked: Freaks Tattoo at 4101 Troost Ave.

The woman called police Saturday, unleashing an investigation that revealed her apartment was rigged with 11 cameras, including four in her bathroom, recording her every move.

Officers first examined the detector in the kitchen and realized it would not open to replace a battery like a normal smoke detector. Officers removed the detector from the ceiling and found it was connected to three wires.

Police found three similar detectors in the living room, hallway and the victim’s bedroom. The victim’s roommate’s room had a normal smoke detector.

8. Seems odd to me, too.

The wiring led to her boss's computer.

3. Well, at least the "Freak's Tattoo Parlor" name is accurate

4. Were they all hidden in fake smoke detectors?

If that is a yes, how many smoke detectors does one apartment need? If there was a smoke detector or two in each room, there should have been a red flag.

5. No, there were pinhole cameras as well n/t

9. Two were in the molding on the sink, pointed at the toilet.

The wiring went to her landlord/boss' computer downstairs, with SEVEN computer screens. He'd been propositioning her, and she'd been saying no.

6. I hope he didn't invite his pals over for entertainment!

7. If she has nothing to hide, what's she afraid of?

Isn't that the NSA's usual excuse?


Anyway: fucking creepy!

15. Maybe she works for the NSA ... I guess spying on anyone is no longer against the law.

Can't see getting upset over a neighbor spying when the Government, Private Contractors, are doing it with impunity.
