If you attended the EIA presentation “Candid Camera,” you were told that TDHS was going to take the position that if covert monitoring was detected, the facility had no recourse, and the roommate had to sue to stop the monitoring. According to Susan Syler at TDHS, this position generated so much adverse comment that TDHS is now requiring that the person responsible for covert monitoring turn off the device until the proper procedure for authorized monitoring is followed.
We owe appreciation to all those who gave input on this issue. Let’s keep up such efforts.
