Steps
Section 8 of 8:
When You Find A Hidden Camera
-
Document where you found the hidden camera. Take a picture of the camera's location using your smartphone's camera.
-
Cover it up. Cover the camera with a blanket or towel so it can't see you anymore.
- If you can't cover it up, like maybe it's too high up, move your belongings and yourself out of view of the camera.
-
Contact local law enforcement and follow their instructions. Don't call the hotel or vacation rental yourself since they will be alerted that they've been caught doing potentially illegal surveillance and give them time to destroy evidence or cover their tracks. [6] X Research source
