I've got the good fortune to be trialing one of these devices!

And what, exactly, did the opinion of a director of public safety bring

few 4-letter words would seem to be the least of his problems...

She should sue the cop on the basis that he must be a pervert to be hanging around outside her bathroom window and invading her privacy in the first place. Was he just listening or was he trying to cop an eyeful? :-)
