Geek Takes a Peek
Sarah Vasquez, 22, and her mother, Natalie Fornaciari, 46 are suing Best Buy and their “Geek Squad”, alleging that the computer technician they sent to their house used a cell phone to record Vasquez taking a shower.
The law suit allegess that Hao Kuo Chi, 26, placed the cell phone in the bathroom, and set it to record. The 22 year old woman noticed it after showering and went to tell her sister. The phone then disappeared from the bathroom and subsequently showed up in the 13 year old sister’s bedroom.

It’s definitely the age of technology, even for perverts. The Internet that brought immediacy of communication and information also brought hackers, spyware and spam, combining convenience with annoyance. Cell phone cameras allow people to share important moments of their lives - the birth of a baby, a high-school graduation - with family far away by transmitting photos immediately, phone to phone.
But we’ve also learned to be aware of the possibility of cell phone cams being used to record pin numbers and credit card numbers at checkouts and ATMs. Now there are other reasons to be concerned about privacy.
Still, there’s something almost exculpatory about the name, isn’t there? The Geek Squad. They called for a geek, and so that’s what they got. They probably didn’t imagine they would get the kind of geek who would sneak around to obtain potty shots with his cell phone camera. What kind of world is it when you can’t trust a geek?
