Camera Phone Carrying Student Suspended
"A Class XI student from the Delhi Public School (DPS) here has been suspended on charges of carrying a mobile phone to school. According to school authorities, the student, whose name has been kept confidential, had a camera phone and had allegedly tried to take photographs of female students. "The boy admitted that he was carrying the mobile phone. The mobile, which was seized, had a camera in it. After conducting the inquiry, we decided to suspend him. He has been allowed to appear in the exam," said DPS principal Mahesh Bareja."
Ok, I understand that the school had a bad experience in the past and have now banned cellphones, but don't you think they are over doing things a little? There are plenty of miniature digital cameras on the market today, that can snap better quality pictures than those found in many popular camera phones. Besides, is there anything criminal about taking pictures of people in a public space? Isn't this what the paparazzi are doing? :?
