TL;DR Summary

Spy cameras disguised as clothes hooks are being sold on Amazon, despite the company facing a lawsuit over the devices. The lawsuit was brought by a woman who claims she was filmed in a bathroom using a clothes hook camera purchased on Amazon. The misuse of such devices may violate British laws, according to a privacy expert. Similar cameras were found for sale on Amazon.co.uk, including ones disguised as alarm clocks, USB chargers, and smoke alarms. Experts warn that the misuse of these cameras could potentially break several UK laws, including those related to harassment, voyeurism, and child protection. Campaigners argue that retailers should do more to prevent the sale of hidden cameras.
