"When Heidi Murray moved into the home of a family friend, she was thrilled to find a cheap place to live with someone she trusted. But she began to feel as though she was being watched. Could her friend be using hidden cameras to spy on her? Heidi tells Helen Pidd about her frightening experience and how she discovered the truth, while freelance journalist Anna Moore explains what she discovered when she wrote in the Guardian about the sinister rise of voyeurism and spy cameras."
"They're cameras that are disguised as everyday domestic items, even disposable coffee cups that could be left in a changing room, she says. I write about violence against women and girls, and I've always looked at those cameras and wondered: how can that be legal? She tells Helen how widespread the problem may be, and what campaigners say must be done to stop it. Photograph: Denniro/Getty Images/iStockphoto"
Heidi Murray moved into the home of a family friend and found a cheap place to live with someone she trusted. She began to feel as though she was being watched and suspected hidden cameras. Heidi discovered evidence that someone had installed spying devices in the living space. Freelance journalist Anna Moore highlights a sinister rise in voyeurism and the proliferation of spy cameras disguised as everyday domestic items. Examples include disposable coffee cups that could be left in a changing room to record people without consent. The phenomenon raises legal and safety concerns, especially for women and girls, and campaigners urge reforms to stop covert surveillance.
