ACLU joins school Webcam spying lawsuit (Lower Merion School Computer Spy Case)

LOWER MERION - As a controversial case involving allegations of webcam spying in Lower Merion Schools heads to court, the ACLU backs a motion to make sure the cameras stay turned off.

A Harriton High School student's attorney will be in court Monday asking a judge for an injunction to prevent the school district from activating the webcams.

The federal lawsuit alleges a Harriton assistant principal used a Webcam photo as evidence to discipline sophomore Blake Robbins for "improper behavior."

The school district claims it only used the webcam to snap still images of a laptop user if the computer had been reported lost or stolen.
