Why on earth would they put cameras in locker rooms?! That vague “safety and security” Is not going to cut it as an acceptable reason.

This wouldn’t fly as a reason to put cameras in women’s locker room, and it shouldn’t fly as a reason to put on in men’s, either.

I’m assuming there’s either stealing issues, or some form of harassment happening.

Doesn’t matter, the camera is passive and not going to correct whatever liability concern have; while introducing entirely new liability concerns…

Well they are testing it in men's... I am sure women will need safety and security too!

Won’t somebody think of the women?

They probably had some repeated instances of stealing and thought a $2000 security camera setup is cheaper than hiring more staff. I’m assuming they also can’t admit they have an issue with thieves because it could make them look bad?
