Surveillance cameras are located on virtually every street corner and sidewalk in America.
Public bathrooms are one place where Americans should not have to worry about cameras.
But police arrested a Florida man for one reason that will have every woman fearful of gas station bathrooms.
Advancements in technology have alleviated many hardships past generations of Americans dealt with daily.
Air conditioners cool people off during the summer and heaters warm them up in the winter.
Technology has advanced to the point where today’s average smartphone runs 120 million times faster than NASA’s Apollo 11 Guidance Computer for the moon landings.
In terms of ROM, the iPhone is seven million times stronger than the NASA Apollo 11 computer even though it weighed 70 pounds compared to the phone’s five ounces.
But technology does have its downsides.
And one downside is the rise of hidden cameras.
There are roughly one billion surveillance cameras worldwide.
And more predators are placing hidden cameras in bathrooms, dressing rooms, and other private areas in the U.S.
“From alarm clocks to air fresheners, water bottles and toothbrush holders, cameras come embedded in common household items that seamlessly blend with home decor,” CNBC reported. “And rather than having to retrieve the camera to obtain the recording, owners can stream live images straight to their phones,” CNBC continued. “Even worse, voyeurs can sell the footage to porn sites, where it can be viewed thousands of times.”
A Florida man recently put a camera in one place that will keep women from using public bathrooms.
Deputies in Polk County, Florida recently responded to a call from a woman at a Circle K gas station who felt someone poke her on her lower back while using a self-checkout.
A man was walking away when she turned around and she told authorities she believed he was trying to take a photo of her.
Using surveillance video, deputies saw 23-year-old employee Christopher Kilpatrick expose himself before poking the woman.
They later discovered he did this to another woman as well.
But that was not all.
“He was also seen taking videos and photos up the skirt of two women on the same day,” the Miami Herald reported.
When questioned by authorities, Kilpatrick confessed to the crime.
Overall, he said he had done the same thing to 300 to 400 different women.
Kids were also targeted by the sick pervert.
He was arrested and charged with exposure of sexual organs and simple battery.
If the woman had not felt him touch her, then he would likely still be violating women and children at the Circle K in Polk County.
But the most terrifying part is that there are probably thousands of other Kilpatrick’s in cities and towns across the country.
And women are more terrified than ever to enter a gas station.
