Isn't it fun all these security camera's? Obvious last summer the staff of Shanghai Metro Line 3 went a bit too far when they had their own reality show, here summerized by Shanghaiist. A classic internet manhunt that has been triggered off by the posting on YouTube has resulted in an investigation by the company and a statement that the four people involved are no longer working for them.
It reminded me of another incident recorded in the second half of the 1990s when a flabbergasted security guard of the Dutch consulate in Shanghai discovered while checking the tapes of its security camera's some close-ups of staff having sex. Dutch have anyway this fling with security camera's: last year a Dutch vice-mayor of the city of Nijmegen got into trouble as security camera's recorded how he got a blow job in the bicycle parking from a member of an opposition party (and the opposite sex). It was then deleted right away by the mayor of the city, citing possibly damaging leaks to YouTube. How right he was.
Update: The BBC reports that the couple involved is now suing the metro company to protect in the future also the privacy of other passengers.
