Dunkin' Donuts employee nabbed for hidden camera in ladies' room

Okay, so this guy likes to watch videos of women peeing and pooping on his laptop. I suppose something's missing in his life that this gives him a thrill, but whatever. 

I have read enough of these stories that I am somewhat uncomfortable using a women's restroom at this point. My mother once told me she is very mindful of these weirdos and does not like to use public bathrooms. Anyway, what kind of weirdo wants to watch a woman urinating or wiping her bottom? There's something really wrong and scary about this. 

At least I always wash my hands. Nobody's ever gonna catch me on film not washing my hands. Nasty, though, eh?

Dunkin' Donuts employee nabbed for hidden bathroom camera

A Kings Park, Suffolk County, New York, Dunkin' Donuts employee was arrested for hiding a wireless surveillance camera in the women's bathroom and watching the images on his laptop computer, police said.

Danish Qureshi, 25, of Hungtington Station, concealed a wireless pinhole camera in a fake smoke detector on the bathroom ceiling, police said.

Qureshi's surveillance system was discovered inadvertently by a neighbor with a similar system in his home, police said.

The neighbor was adjusting his surveillance camera and unplugged it. When he plugged it in again, he intercepted an image of the ladies' room at the Dunkin' Donuts, which is behind his house, said Suffolk police Det. Sgt. Richard Matero.

Apparently the systems operated on the same frequency and anyone within a 150-foot radius could pick up the video feed, Matero said.

The neighbor called police at 10:02 p.m. Police arrived at the store about 20 minutes later and found Qureshi, who was working at the time, sitting in the parking lot in his green 1998 Nissan Pathfinder, with the camera and a laptop in his lap, Matero said. He had removed the camera from the bathroom, Matero said.

Police have not determined when Qureshi installed the camera, Matero said. Police believe he watched the images from his car, he said.

Qureshi was charged with second degree unlawful surveillance, a Class E felony. He was arraigned Sunday at First District Court in Central Islip, and was released on $7,500 bail. He could not be reached Sunday night.

Qureshi was fired immediately, according to a Dunkin' Donuts statement. "This is one aberrant act committed by a store employee using poor judgment," the statement said.
