Camera phone photos pose security risks to schools and workplaces
What do you use your camera phone for? Usually it's to capture a candid moment -- fun with your friends or an interesting event. However, because cell phones have become so ubiquitous in our culture, it's quite easy to take camera phone photos for other purposes. Because of this, it may become difficult to use your mobile phone in certain areas.
A recent Legal Zoom article focuses on the myriad of security breaches that are possible with camera phone pictures. Some may choose to use these phones in the office to take pictures of sensitive company documents. This can be used for personal profit, bribing, and blackmail.
Camera phones can also be used for unethical purposes in schools. Students can use them to take pictures of tests, making cheating more possible. Cell phones don't just present a classroom disruption anymore -- they've become a way to breach security in a fairly easy manner.
How is it so easy to take photos of company documents or a test? We see people with their cell phones all the time. The primary use of a phone is to make a call -- why would you question the intent of someone speaking on their cell phone? In addition, you can take photos quietly and without an attention-grabbing flash.
The ability to violate security -- whether it is of individual, company, or classroom -- is likely to have impact on where cellular phones and camera phones are allowed. Legal Zoom points out that General Motors has already banned such phones in order to prevent security breaches. Making less discreet camera phones may occur as an alternative to banning.
