Hidden cameras in coat hooks? Surprising, yet true. Some coat hooks in public places, like restrooms and hotels, are concealing miniature cameras. Recent incidents in Florida have raised concerns, with three cases reported, including Anne’s Beach, Circle K Store, and Harry Harris Park. Lt. Randy Reynolds warns, “They could be in changing rooms anywhere.” The unsettling part is the affordability of these gadgets, available for as low as $20. These covert devices can record up to 2 hours on a 16 GB MicroSD card.
One might argue these could be handy for security, but the reality is darker. Often misused for illicit purposes, these hidden cameras pose a serious threat, especially in private spaces. To identify them, observe for a standard plastic coat hook with a tiny opening at the top, which serves as the lens. Stay vigilant and report any suspicious findings.
