Yeah, but I mean I assume the people selling date rape drugs do a bit of wink, wink, nod, nod, thing too. Do you think literally a single person bought this and used it as a nanny cam? I think I can imagine, maybe it got used outside of a bathroom, or got used by people play acting hidden cameras, aka used with everyone's consent, but I don't think it gets much worse than this, except maybe for this other product amazon still sells https://www.amazon.com/Bathroom-Shower-Security-Cameras-Outd...

There is actually one person who left a review and seems to have bought it with a less nefarious purpose than spying on someone in the bathroom:

> I set this up on my back window to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity in the area behind our house. We share a communal back yard area and people tend to walk through quite often. I love how this camera is disguised and I can place it anywhere!

However, it does appear to be marketed for the nefarious purposes despite the comical "bad guy with ski mask" you need to hide the camera from for some reason.
