> Oh, really? Steve Stivers, former bank lobbyist and current Republican candidate received a very interesting campaign contribution.

Those computers - programmed to snap a photo and capture a screen shot every 15 minutes when the machine was on - fired nearly 13,000 images back to the school district servers.
The data, given to The Inquirer on Monday by a school district lawyer, represents the most detailed account yet of how and when Lower Merion used the remote tracking system, a practice that has sparked a civil rights lawsuit, an FBI investigation and new federal legislation....
OMG! Sounds like this case will be going on for awhile.
