ACLU asks Iowa City Public Library to remove bathroom cameras

I fully agree 100% with this:
In the letter, the group asks that the cameras, located in the common areas of the bathrooms, be removed because of violation of patrons' privacy. If that is not possible, the letter said, the group asks the library to post more adequate notice that the cameras are located inside the bathrooms, that the recordings are subject to open records requests, and to make clear what is being recorded and who maintains the recordings.

In 2013, the ACLU of Iowa obtained recordings from the common areas of men's and women's restrooms via a public records request, the letter said. The footage showed patrons changing, getting dressed and "adjusting themselves."

If the cameras have already recorded people changing then yes it would be my guess people are unaware or not quite clear how much the cameras are seeing and recording. Yes they must come out or better and more clear notice given.
 
ACLU is right, as is the case more often than not.
