The spy camera sold on Amazon police want you to know about

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

They look fairly mundane, but police are warning people to look twice at coat hangers found in public bathrooms because they may have hidden cameras inside of them.

At a glance, the devices look like any other clothes hook. However, a closer look reveals a tiny hidden camera embedded inside used for watching people.

The devices are marketed on Amazon as home security surveillance cameras or spy cameras priced as low as $13 per device.

Just less than a year ago, police in Florida reported on three separate instances where police discovered the hidden cameras in different women’s bathrooms throughout Monroe County, Florida.

1. Carry a fold of electrical tape with you.

Block any suspected unauthorized camera or peephole in private spaces, then report it.

I may be paranoid, but I usually keep a post-it note over my own personal built-in computer webcam unless I am using it.

Not coat "hanger". I was trying to figure out where in a hanger they could possibly place a camera. Lol.
