Woman Found Hidden Camera Disguised As Charger During Airbnb Stay

According to safety.com, more than half (58%) of the 2,000 Americans recently surveyed who have stayed in an Airbnb said they worry about Airbnb hidden cameras. And 11% said they’ve actually discovered at least one.

Airbnb’s policy states: “Our Standards & Expectations require that all members of the Airbnb community respect each other’s privacy. We require hosts to disclose all security cameras and other recording devices in their listings, and we prohibit any security cameras and other recording devices that are in or that observe the interior of certain private spaces (such as bedrooms and bathrooms), regardless of whether they’ve been disclosed.”

However, recently a tweet went viral about hidden cameras being installed in a Airbnb and disguised as a charger.

Under the username @alexundone, she mentioned that she noticed that something was off. She remembered a viral post about hidden cameras. Once she grabbed the charger, she noticed it was actually a hidden camera in the living room.

 

When she contacted the police on October 27th, she was told that officers weren’t able to do anything because it was a “gray area” being that the camera was in a common area. If the camera was in the bathroom or bedroom it would’ve been different. Alexandra exclusively told us that officers told her they couldn’t do anything because she wasn’t on the lease, and it’s not her house.

She also advises anyone especially women who may potentially book through Airbnb should always check their surroundings and be careful.
