"An Austrian politician has been caught with his pants down by a hidden camera in a forest. The incident has led to local activists debating privacy violation and data protection after the man got snapped while having sex in the forest.
*The camera was of a type that takes automatic pictures when movement is detected. It belongs to the Carinthia Hunting Society and had been concealed in order to monitor wildlife in the forest in the Austrian region of Carinthia. The equipment is installed in areas considered hunting zones and it is forbidden to walk within the 400-meter radius of land which is monitored, according to the society’s lawyer.
The politician, who has not been named, had no clue that there was “a third party” hidden in the undergrowth as the camera was not marked and there were no warning signs. He may now get up to $25,000 in compensation for a breach of his privacy.
Fortunately for him the pictures have never been leaked on the Internet nor has the footage been released in the Austrian province of Carinthia.
However, the case has sparked heated debates among local activists." (More)
