Landlord Allegedly Put Video Cameras In Tenant's Apartment

An East Patchogue, Long Island landlord was arrested when a video camera was found in a tenant's apartment. WCBS 2 reports, "A 16-year-old teen who lives in the apartment with her parents found the camera and called police...[She] told her father she noticed her room on a monitor in her landlord's apartment, and when she looked further, she found the camera in her ceiling." A video camera was also found in the bathroom. Louis Bosco, a "self-employed handyman," was charged with unlawful surveillance. The teen's father said, "It doesn't feel very good. It feels like you want to hurt him. I really would like to go over there and kill him. I know I shouldn't say that but I really want to hurt this guy."

I think we'd be surprised how many landlords have done this in the apartments they let. The dude that lives in front of us has tenants on the floor below him, and I would bet dollars to doughnuts that there's a camera in the bathroom.

Wait...

Now what was she doing in the landlords apartment again?

Earning, I mean, paying the rent?

there are so many better ways to get your jollies than watch a 16-yr old girl take a nap or a pee pee.

like watching those sleepover tickle fights teenage girls are always having.

some people get their jollies off watching a female do the most intimate of intimates. heard that line from an old coal mine case where the boss hid a cam in the womens locker room and shower. and the peephole was used as an work incentive for the male employees.
