U>If you wanted to resolve this ..you would . Enough has been done and at this point sound like you are just trying to stretch matter .
You’re probably thinking that I am constantly calling the cops and Airbnb to harass the host? But that’s not the case. I complained to the cops and Airbnb because this was clearly a violation of privacy and my sister changed in front of the camera. I’ve done nothing more after that. Who are you and I to decide whether the host is innocent or guilty. Can you guarantee that the host has not used these recordings from all the past guests for his personal pleasure? If you can’t guarantee this, then let the cops do their work and quit preaching.
>Karma comes back full circle.
You’re saying that by taking action against someone who compromised the dignity of a woman who happens to be my sister, I have created bad Karma and it’s going to come back to me? That’s absurd. I don’t even know how to respond to that.
>He also allowed you to use the full space.
So I should overlook the fact that he had cameras inside the house and did not think of making it clear because he let me use the full space? Even if guests were just allowed to use the bedroom, it is still important for him to make it explicitly clear that there are cameras in the house. Many people are not comfortable being recorded. I explained in my post that he walked me through the entire apartment explaining every detail, but did not mention anything about the cameras. Do you expect me to believe that being a lawyer, he does not know about this [Airbnb Policy](https://news.airbnb.com/an-update-on-our-policy-on-security-cameras/) and does not understand what [Exterior security cameras](https://imgur.com/a/PfXWNnP) section on Airbnb means? Just because he allowed me to use the full space, I should be okay with my sister changing in front of these cameras?
>Go easy on the owner and you will get good karma from letting go.
I have already let go after I complained to the cops and Airbnb, which was the right thing to do. Now it’s upto them what action needs to be taken. If they contact me, I will tell them the facts and the truth.
UI think you have a serious problem of trying to prove your point despite the facts going against you. Did you even read the Aribnb policy I linked to?For your information, Airbnb called me and agreed that this is a violation of privacy. They have transferred this case to their “safety” team because of violation of terms and conditions.
Airbnb agrees that this is a violation of their policies, but you want to defend them and blame the victim. What I have realized from your comments on other posts on reddit is that you like to draw power from other people’s suffering. You feel powerful by making other’s feel stupid. You need to introspect and hope you get well soon.
U>You’re just DUMB, the hall is Exterior to your rented space, as your rented space per the agreement is limited to the room you paid for.Ok Mr. Smartass. As per this [Airbnb Policy](https://news.airbnb.com/an-update-on-our-policy-on-security-cameras/), indoor cameras are not allowed, regardless of their disclosure. Read this :
>The update to this policy simplifies our approach and makes clear that security cameras are not allowed inside listings, regardless of their location, purpose or prior disclosure
And you’re asking me to learn to read? The host is a lawyer. Airbnb policy does not allow indoor cameras as mentioned above. That is why they have only provided a section to disclose exterior cameras. See [this](https://imgur.com/a/PfXWNnP).
Feeling smart now? It’s because of people like you that our country is not safe. You’ll blame your wife/sister/mother and make her feel like she’s creating a scene for no reason, rather than supporting her because apparently that’s the smart thing to do?
UYou are right! I don’t think these men would care much about being exposed, unless they experience what it means to be violated in the true sense!Thank you for acknowledging the actions! My sister and I are twins and share a very strong bond. It was a no brainer for me to take action, and I would have done this for any other woman! That said, the day of the incident and the next 2-3 days were quite confusing for us. We were doubting ourselves and wondering if we were wrong, and if the host had done nothing wrong! And the replies on this thread added to the confusion. It’s only yesterday that our emotions settled down and we realized that what had happened was not right.
I am disappointed in my fellow men for making me doubt what I had done!
U>Why the drama? The sister probably had her underwear on. It’s no different than going to the beachPerv spotted. You’ve got to be kidding me. There’s a difference between wearing a bikini on a beach and changing in front of a camera. Are you really that immature to understand the difference?
>
The host has clearly stated that there are cameras in the drawing room and the video was deleted and this was confirmed by the police. I don’t see why you keep calling him sleazy. The camera was visible and wasn’t the bedroom or the bathroom.I believe the host is not innocent. We see malice here and want the cops to investigate this as my sister may not be the only victim of this sleaziness. As per [Airbnb policy](https://news.airbnb.com/an-update-on-our-policy-on-security-cameras/), indoor cameras are not allowed even if the host has disclosed this. The host is a lawyer and surely knows how to adhere to policies. The only section where you can disclose cameras on Airbnb is under the “Exterior security cameras on property” section, and the host listed indoor cameras here. Lawyers are supposed to focus on the fine print, aren’t they? Additionally, the host walked me through the entire property explaining how to turn on the AC, geyzer, how to open certain doors, etc but forgot to mention about cameras. How convenient.
No one expects indoor cameras in places that are rented out to guests, so no one goes checking for thes. So the investigation needs to continue. I am not going to do anything to interfere with what the investigation.
UExactly! I am so surprised to see most of the comments calling my sister dumb, asking her to change in the bathroom, stating that I am delusional, blowing things out of proportion etc. All these men must be tied up naked and recorded and their videos released on porn websites for them to understand how traumatic it can be for a women to be recorded in a place she was supposed to feel safe.UThank you for this. I am going to contact Airbnb for this. I couldn’t find consistent info on Airbnb policy when I searched. Infact, Airbnb called me and tried to bully me saying the camera is mentioned in the listing. I have a recording of that call. I am going to pursue this with Airbnb! Thank you so much!UYes agreed. But here the owner has handling this and going to send me the agreement. He has asked me to send him in a concise manner what I want to add to the agreement. He stays in London and thus finding it difficult to coordinate with him. Just want to get this done by sending him the exact points to add.
