Police turn off shop's changing room internet cameras
A clothes shop in Germany broadcast live pictures on the internet of customers in its changing room.
The cameras have just been turned off after a 29-year-old woman trying on skirts complained.
Police are investigating the Kleidermarkt second hand shop in Hamburg. They say a sign warned customers about the cameras.
"I felt humiliated, I wouldn't dream of undressing on the internet," the victim told the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper.
But Lars Panther, who works at the second hand "Kleidermarkt" shop, says the warning sign was impossible to overlook.
It reads: "This room is being shown live on the internet. Customers under 18 years must not change in here. If you want to be alone, you use a different changing room."
Christiane Leven, a police spokeswoman, says the warning sign was only written in German, and staff didn't point out the camera to customers.
