- Police have seized thousands of images from hidden cameras at Airbnb rentals - including people’s most intimate moments - across North America. A CNN investigation has found Airbnb not only fails to protect its guests from being illegally filmed, it also works to keep these cases quiet. The company told CNN instances of hidden cameras are “exceptionally rare.” In a deposition reviewed by CNN, an Airbnb official said the company had documented 35,000 customer support tickets about “security cameras” or “recording devices” over the past decade. Senior investigative correspondent Kyung Lah has the full report for CNN.
The owner should be jailed, even when you rent there's are expectation of privacy! Jail that person!
Those renting thier properties knew what they were doing and should be held criminally responsible
.... their ....
Disgusting person should be in the jail
You should have called the Police!!!
For what? To waste time talking to imbeciles trying to get out of paperwork?
They did. And then Abinash Samal of London, Ontario in Canada was arrested and charged with one count of voyeurism.
That's why we never recommend Airbnb
No regulations
How do you know hotels don't have them?
We don't..
There could be hidden cameras
Because it’s in Hyatt, IHG, Hilton and Marriotts best interest not to face multimillion dollar lawsuits.
You don't know what you don't know.
That happened at Brasil also, it’s scare to think about someone spying on you
Brazil?
@@madaboutdogs1630 nah, put the S man, Brasil stopped using Z a lot years ago
Ofcourse, this happens all the time. The people just dont find the camera.
They watch everything! They know what is going on from the time you enter until you leave! They have the excuse they are watching over their property!
Frightening 😮 invasion of privacy 💯 and I find it disgusting
Hotels have cameras in them too
Red-light District 'hotels' you're talking? 😎
They are not supposed to
Yes in the hallways and in the lobby, not in bedrooms or bathrooms.
The Airbnb model is insane both from a renter and owner prospective especially if not a property dedicated for Airbnb.
Anyone using an Airbnb needs to go into it assuming there are cameras everywhere, because most likely there are.
Anyone renting out a property needs to assume a repeat renter has planted cameras. Hotels are slightly better but I check them for cameras, bring Clorox wipes, Lysol and my own sheets and pillow cases if possible.
Hotels and any individuals doing this should be held accountable this is horrible and creepy.
The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer once said that all truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
I have never understood why anyone would ever trust the Airbnb model as a customer or as a provider. Yes there are going to be hidden cameras, yes there are going to be people going through your stuff, yes they are filming porn movies in your house.
My wife’s friend would rent out her entire house for the week when her kids were at their father’s including her teenage daughter and son’s room. I said to her “You know they are going through your kids underwear and personal stuff and having sex in your kid’s beds”. She was surprised by this and responded “No they aren’t”. Shocking how naive people can be.
Yup I’ll never stay in an air b&b ever again. Their beds suck, and now there’s way too many cases of being spied on by weirdos. This is why air b&b should also be held liable.
This kind of thing shouldn't come as a surprise regarding today's technology in the 21st century.
He saw you getting your FREAK On.
He DIDDY'd you, ma'am.
Case closed. Lock him up and get a refund.
Well no more air n b from now. Too many creeps out there
Many years ago i noticed at a home too and since it was only a night I was alone didn’t make a big deal out of it just laid my towel on it (was a digital clock hidden cam) and went to sleep, but i agree it has to be an ongoing thing with little repercussions
Tried AB&B once in NOLA, hated it and way too expensive, and now apparently you have to worry about peeping Tom’s and winding up on some porn site without your permission. Hotel here I come!
I don't wanna see you ...:))
People buy homes and never live in them just so they can rent them out. I'm getting a large 4 bedroom for my son's wedding next month. You're going to have weirdos in any situation. This is not going to deter me from staying in the AirBNB next month.
BAN AirBnBs. Nuff said.
You can't ban them but consumers can just choose better options. I have never really understood the Airbnb phenomenon and why so many people are attracted to the prospect in staying in another person's home temporarily. It's like living inside someone else's clothes and driving their car. Why subject yourself to something like this? Just find a hotel and stay away from these types of accommodations.
@@PK1982_Why? AirBnBs & VRBOs, etc. are able to provide accommodations in locations where hotels and motels are not available and/or increase overnight lodging capacity in areas where existing hotel/motel capacity is full. Cost can vary from less than, same, or greater then other options. Also, they can offer away to save money by use of the kitchen.
I scan for illicit devices with my eyes and my phone when I first arrive and periodically through the stay. Similar but less so for bonafide hotels/motels.
Rather than using government to ban them-if that is what you mean-increase public awareness of the concern for privacy then let the market take care of the problem. Maybe there are people who don’t care about being surreptitiously recorded and find value in whatever else the Airbnb or vrbo offer.
Because of this video, I will definitely redouble how I check for such devices where I stay- even some ordinary bathrooms, too.
Can you imagine how many people privacy is violated how long they being doing this
I own and run airbnbs I would think it unconscionable and probably illegal to put cameras inside the premises.
The camera is just to make sure you’re not trashing their place.
That's creepy, though if she didn't initially know it was a camera, why did she take it with her when it did not belong to her?
I would have took it to and broke it , that’s against air Bnb guidelines to record and be a pervert
Probably by accident.
If you watch the full video, she didn’t mean to. When they were packing up, her partner assumed it was hers because it was plugged in next to the bed and grabbed it, thinking he was doing her a favor and packing it so she wouldn’t leave it behind. Very normal thing to do. Had it actually been a charger, she could’ve just sent the guy $5-10 and moved on.
So sorry to hear, not acceptable... we rent our Malibu home to Travellers but there is no way we have hidden cameras!! No Indoor Cams too !! Totally Illegal!
That Host home needs to be removed from Airbnb and you , the lady that is in this video , the traveler on this video you need to get your all your money back and also take the homeowner to small claims court
I couldnt listen to 5 words without her using vulgar language.
Like she couldnt think of something intelligent to say on national television?
But say something stupid within 5 words?
Disgusting! Can’t you go to the police? This can’t be legal! 😡
Never happens in public bathrooms either.
Who steals chargers?
Why did you take something that didn't belong to you? Yes, what happened while you're in that room? Did someone investigate the "charger"? This is totally unclear.
It was an honest mistake. People mistakenly pack things that do not belong to them in hotel room. We sometimes leave behind things that do belong to us as well, this acutally happened to me. In this case according to the full video as somebody pointed out, the charger was on her side of the bed and her boyfriend packed it thinking it was hers.
Forget the charger. When am I getting that vocal fry back!
Underrated comment
That is what happens when you use Airbnb. You think people trust you in their own homes.
Should be jail time 🤬🤬
We have cameras and 50per cent of houses now have cameras in them. Not surprised. I don’t do Airbnb
Where, who ?
Buy an RV and camp! See America in all her splendor. You can customize everything about an RV. It's like taking you home with you! No peepers, no creepers!
I like being watched. Bring it on!
So her crime exposed the hosts crime 😎
So where's the story about the camera. You left that out. Or did you just take it down?
The full story was on CNN
Why do people still use Airbnb’s anyway? They are just as expensive, if not more expensive than a hotel. It also makes it easier for people to pull creepy shit like this
So this lady stole a charger that had a hidden camera. A criminal filming a criminal? I just had a lightbulb moment . 😮
If you find the full video, she wasn’t being a criminal. It was plugged in next to the bed they were sleeping in, so her partner packed it because he assumed it was hers. Super easy mistake and if it had actually been a charger, any AirBnb host would’ve just moved on or requested to be paid back for it. People accidentally take or leave things at rentals all the time, it comes with the territory. You just charge them for it or request it back if it’s not easily replaceable. Calling her a criminal for taking a charger is wild 😂
You provide an excellent example of judging without knowing all the facts. I was thinking the same thing, but I like to read others' comments before commenting myself. These shorts are nice, but don't always provide all facts and context.
Good thing you stole it!!! 😅
Look for the full story. This short doesn't provide all the facts.
🤮🤮🤮
Soo…you did steal the charger?
The point being it wasn't simply a charger. There's a camera in it.

I think its safe to say that that hidden camera wasn't there to showcase her physique. they probably shut it off. LOL
Why people use air bnbs still will elude me, I’d rather not have some bullshit cleaning and todo list to deal with
Holy cow!
