Eigentlich komisch, aber der heutige Artikel in der BKK Post besagt, das es aufgrund eines starken Anstieges von Fotos, die in Umkleidekabinen von nackten Thailänderinnen gemacht wurden, nun zu Polizeiaktionen gekommen ist.
Angeblich werden die Fotos im WWW veröffentlicht, oder die ganzen Filme werden auf VCDs verkauft.

Police search for ‘peep’ cameras
The Nation
Published on Aug 24, 2001
Female police officers are being deployed to inspect department stores
in Bangkok for hidden miniature cameras in women’s changing rooms and
powder rooms, the National Police Office spokesman said yesterday.
Police are taking action in response to reports of the growing
appearance of photos of undressed women on the Internet and on VCDs.
Women from everyday life to actresses and models have complained that
embarrassing pictures have been posted on websites or published in
foreign magazines.
The plainclothes female officers will search for microcameras in
dressing rooms in suspected department stores, police spokesman Maj
General Pongsapat Pongcharoen said.
Police will reveal the identities of those responsible and the names
of places where such cameras were found, the spokesman said, adding
that the perverts would face prompt and strict legal proceedings.
Female shoppers should use caution whenever they try on clothes in
department stores or use public lavatories, police warned yesterday.
Metropolitan Police commissioner LtGeneral Anan Piromkaew said
plainclothes officers would randomly patrol department stores. Police
will also ask store management to increase security.
National Police Chief General Pornsak Durongkavibun has instructed
Anan to call an urgent meeting of department store representatives to
discuss measures to prevent surreptitious exploitation of unsuspecting
women, Pongsapat said. Undercover police would also be dispatched to
gather information and make arrests, he added.
Interior Minister Purachai Piumsombun said department stores are
responsible for providing adequate security for their customers
against lascivious undertakings in both changing rooms and restrooms.
Those that do not should be boycotted by shoppers, he said.
Any foreign visitor arrested for lewd activities would be classified
as persona non grata, he said, while admitting that light punishment
in the past could have led to a recent spate of offences.
In recent months, police have arrested several men, mostly Japanese
and Taiwanese, for planting concealed cameras in offices and near
staircases and escalators in stores, Pongsapat said. They were taken
to court and fined Bt1,000 each.
Several years ago in Taiwan, similar underground homemade videos were
exposed when someone noticed himself unwittingly performing during a
tryst at a “love hotel”.
Female shoppers admit that they are afraid of being secretly caught in
front of the lens while trying on clothes in department centres or
relieving themselves in public loos, according to the results of a
Suan Dusit poll released yesterday.
Asked what they were scared of most while in a department store, 26.1
per cent of the female shoppers surveyed said sexual approaches,
followed by pickpocketing and getting drugged (22.6 per cent each);
being filmed while undressing (17.8); and having their necklaces
snatched (10.9). When asked about what were “risky” places in their
opinion, 32.4 per cent picked car parks, followed by WCs (29.4 per
cent), dressing rooms (19.7), store exits (12.7) and escalators (5.8).
The survey questioned 2,114 women at department stores in Bangkok and
surrounding provinces on Wednesday and yesterday.
