You May Be Under Surveillance

There is a law working itself via the German Bundestag that would require all bosses or business operations to warn employees when hidden cameras are employed.

I sat and read it....and thought about this for 60 seconds.

Basically....a permanent camera could be mounted to face the three cash register clerks in the front, and this would be legal....only if the boss had a sign by the cash register to warn the employee about these existing. In a way, it's comical.

Several cases have come up in the past five years....where hidden cameras were used to catch employees, and folks have said that this ought to be illegal. Never mind the fact that employees sometimes do illegal things.

So the German answer here....a long as a stupid sign exists there in front of the employee and says there might be cameras around....that's ok. I get the impression that the US isn't the only country passing dopey laws.
