It’s unfortunate that some people inevitably use technology to harass others. Take the selfie stick.
“The Bethesda resident and her friend were just watching a football game in her living room.
Then she saw an object waving back and forth outside the sliding glass doors of her apartment.
It was a camera on a stick — a selfie stick, the gizmo invented to let people take photos of themselves from farther away.
Or, in this case, to take illegal photos of other people. Montgomery County police allege that taking pictures is just what the Bethesda resident’s neighbor had been doing, without her knowledge, for more than a year.
Donald Frazier Beard, 60, has now been charged with using his selfie stick to record at least 16 videos of the 58-year-old woman, including one that showed her naked.”
TERRIBLE. I’m glad he was caught (after a year!!) but it makes me wonder how many other people may use it in this way without their targets realizing it?
