Over the years, I have heard a surveillance story repeated about a woman raped in a parking lot. They story explains how the woman noticed a surveillance camera and somehow moved towards it to get an image of the rapist. However, it turns out that it was a dummy camera, and no video was ever recorded. The story concludes that the women successfully sued the business because it had created a false sense of security by deploying dummy cameras. The lesson was never use dummy cameras.
Update - EUREKA, I FOUND IT! - It is a legend.
I am wondering if this actually happened or if there are any other verifiable stories of dummy cameras resulting in legal judgments against dummy camera users. Looking forward to any input.
