Remember the Jane Doe case in Toronto? Seems like the message didn't get through. quote: Public used as bait, transit union says Sting operation caught peeping Toms KEVIN MCGRAN TRANSPORTATION REPORTERThree peepholes into the women's public washroom at the Eglinton subway station were kept open for at least six weeks while TTC special constables tried to catch the peeping Tom, the Star has learned. The TTC and its union — Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 113 — are heading to arbitration on the matter in March, with the union accusing the TTC of violating the privacy of the women and children who used the washroom — including female staffers — by leaving the peepholes open for so long.

As I understand it, the holes were left in place and the room monitored to see if anyone came in to look through them. When someone did, they were arrested. If nobody else looked through the holes (if they had, they'd have been arrested too), I'm not sure I understand how it's a privacy violation, or how anyone was used as "bait". It's not like they were left open to one and all for six weeks. What am I missing?

Or better still, put up pictures of landscapes or something! Imagine: "Hey man, come look through this peephole into the women's can." "Uh, I can see the Rocky Mountains. Gee, the women's can is a lot bigger than I thought."
