Everyone has just been told it’s a fake…I wonder how long until it’s vandalized again!

The public is being extended a courtesy at the stores cost. Since the public can’t appreciate the courtesy, close the bathroom. Problem solved.

who was the STUPID person to allow this on the internet. Now vandals will know it is a fake.

i cant say that i blame him for that . id do it too. someone will probably just steal it though.

If I knew where that place was, I’d go there, steal the fake surveillance camera replace that with a picture of a surveillance camera and then vandalize the bathroom.

LOL. JK

Do you really think vandals read the news here or anywhere?!

I would have wagged my pickle at it! Yeah, you saw it!

MIKE LYON wants his camera back!!!

They say the camera adds about ten pounds, I guess a few of the men are now proud of themselves? LOL

If it bothers you, go somewhere else! Problem solved.

I believe it’s the law. The State of California includes the Uniform Plumbing Code as part of its building code that sets safety and common sense standards that need to be followed by all. Most of the Code’s contents are boring for the layman, as they apply to types of piping and infrastructue that must be followed while installing and maintaining safe and reliable plumbing. However, the same Code also stipulates that all public businesses must provide restroom facilities for its customers.

Summarized by the American Restroom Association:

2003 UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE (UPC) Published by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials

413.2.2 Fixtures accessible only to private offices shall not be counted to determine compliance with this section. establishments with an occupant load of one hundred (100) or more shall be provided with separate facilities for employees and customers. Customer and employee facilities may be combined for occupant loads less than one hundred (100).

413.3 Separate Facilities
Separate toilet facilities shall be provided for each sex.
Exceptions:
(2) In occupancies serving ten (10) or fewer people, one (1) toilet facility, designed for use by no more than one (1) person at a time, shall be permitted for use by both sexes.
(3) In business and mercantile occupancies with a total floor area of fifteen hundred (1500) square feet (139.5 m 2 ) or less, one (1) toilet facility, designed for use by no more than one (1) person at a time, shall satisfy the requirements for serving customers and employees of both sexes.

413.5 Facilities in Mercantile and Business Occupancies Serving Customers
413.5.1 Requirements for customers and employees shall be permitted to be met with a single set of restrooms accessible to both groups. The required number of fixtures shall be the greater of the required number for employees or the required number for customers.
413.5.2 Fixtures for customer use shall be permitted to be met by providing a centrally located facility accessible to several stores. The maximum distance from entry to any store to this facility shall not exceed five hundred (500) feet (152.4 m).

In their attempt to clarify this even further, the Restroom Association sent a message to the board that evaluates the code: “Is it the intent of the 2003 UPC to require a toilet facility for customers, patrons, and visitors of all mercantile and business establishments?” To which they replied:

Yes. The general provisions of Section 413.0 and Table 4-1 have requirements for employee use and public use in a number of occupancies including assembly, institutional, and office or public buildings.

Then I’d make sure the bathroom was perpetually “out of order.”

Morons who vandalize bathrooms probably don’t read the news

Cameras in the bathroom are illegal

There should be a federal law mandating clean, like CLEAN restrooms in gas stations, restaurants, and all public places. They should be forced to be clean, clean, clean. This could be the beginning of a country that might actually get its self respect back.

The good news is that type of ‘fish-eye’ lense makes everything look bigger ! – Hugs Mr Positive

Just close down the restroom if you dont want to risk vandalism.

Leave it to California to make an issue over this .

Cameras in bathrooms, yet another violation of our rights. Add it to the list of gov’t violations of our right:
They violate the 1st Amendment by placing protesters in cages, banning books like “America Deceived II” and censoring the internet.
They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns.
They violate the 4th and 5th Amendment by molesting airline passengers.
They violate the entire Constitution by starting undeclared wars for foreign countries.
Impeach Obama and sweep out the Congress, except Ron Paul.

Well, no. The fish-eye makes things look smaller unless they are right up close to the lens.

The answer will end up being putting prison johns into gas stations.

There is no right to require a private person or business to bear the cost of constant repairs to private property due to the inability of the people and their government to keep human trash off the streets, Hank. It is the gang members who are violating real rights here.

You are such a badass. Not.

You are a genius. Do you comprehend what you read? Apparently not. Go back to 4th grade and learn to read.

There is no law in CA that requires a private business to offer a restroom to it’s customers. The UBC and CBC only codify how those are to be constructed and maintained, should the business choose to have them.

How do you know it’s a decoy…is it just because the manager says so? Has anyone actually checked? Peepers and wierdos are everywhere these days. Persons in my city have gone to jail for things like this.

Just what we need. More nanny state laws. Use your own bathroom, or carry a bucket of cleaning products with you and tidy up before hand.

Wahhh, I need a new law wahhhhhh.

Read the article again. Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Clearly NOT.

Sorry. You are incorrect about the requirement for bathrooms.

Please tell us, just exatly, why you would do this. What joy would you get out of destroying some one elses property and making others who use that restroom suffer the eyesore you left behind? Is it because destruction is the onlything you are capable of accomplishing?

You and people liki you are a blight on this planet. And the reason it is in the mess it is in now, even if you only posted your drivel just to tick others off, because that is a form of vandalism in its own right.

Pathetic.

Backwards boB

If you don’t like it, go to a different store.

And if caught you vandalizing MY property I would beat you within an inch of your very life you peice of slimy dog dung.

Exactly correct Bob, he is a tiny little human being, a blight on society.

No, Jim, if you don’t like it, rip it off the wall. After all, it doesn’t work, and they’d never know who did it, right? LOL!

It is a real camera..you want to buy some footage?

Ron Ernie

Maybe we should demand that a camera be put in the Oval office to see if Barry does ANY work all day long.

@RD What the hell does that have to do with this story?

When men compain it is funny. Just like violence against men is a good laugh.

Install that thing in the woman’s rest room and expect women’s special interests to rise up against it and a congreesional act.

Is this Donaldson guy stupid? He was told the camera is non-functional and does not record anything. He then rattles on about footage being sent to YouTube. Sounds a bit neurotic to me.

Because Obama is driving our country into the toilet.

But we will witness that he has washed his hands, of the middle class…

The phony camera is actually a decoy for the REAL camera that’s concealed in the paper towel dispenser! The footage from that one has already been sent to Homeland Security, where it is being reviewed to determine if any vandals might possibly be gang members or illegal aliens. If that is found to be the case, Big Sis will give them ten years to voluntarily leave the country, under threat of really, really, getting tough with them.

So what do you do when they’re in all bathrooms, and everywhere outside? Go to another planet?

This “I didn’t do anything wrong” and “I’ve got nothing to hide” 1) ignores the laws of nature (everything has an opposite), and 2) is the statement made by those seeking to control movement.

Anything can be made to look “wrong” and out-of-context. Do you want to be the one having to explain the accusation? What about if the one accusing is perceived as more credible because they have a fancy “uniform” on?

Fancy uniform + cameras everywhere + human nature = more corruption and injustice.

boooooooooooooooooooooo!

It’s only in the mens bathroom. And as we know, US men have no special rights. So be quiet and deal with the modern, advanced US you stupid sheeple….

Wow Terri, you get it. Just had to commend you.

If there has been a grafitti problem, I would expect the next one to be a masked person spray painting the camera! Yuk, Yuk.

Is he ever in town long enough to DO any work?

This sort of reminds me of the Virgina State Troopers putting up a sign on I-81 that there would be a random drug surveillance stop several miles ahead – and prepare to be searched. Of course they put the sign up just ahead of a little used local freeway exit with a no-services sign attached to the exit

Naturally the troopers put their stop at the bottom of the exit asking any out of state drivers if they were lost or were they just visiting the few residents the exit served.

When they were answered with confused answers they simply asked if their dogs could have a sniff. They caught dozens of drug traffickers in one day. The court threw all of the cases out – the police used trickery and that wasn’t fair it seems.

If you’re uncomfortable, use the ladies’ room instead.

Those guys are chupa_cacas.

Its Private property, who cares!!!!!!

I think your the stupid one… He was told it didn’t work so that makes it so… Believe what someone tells you about something like this and your little self will end up on youtube. Get a job fool…
Now you really do sound like a Barry fan with all that hope and change nonsense.

Sounds like a right wing conspiracy to me… Maybe Big Sis wants to know if hers is as big as the average Joe. I still think Bush and the right wing have something to do with it.

What is a chupa caca?

You are an ignorant scheiss gesicht.

I think you’re already on another planet.

No doubt.

LMAO… that’s awesome.

Oooh, poor widdle taggers, afriad their tiny dorks will be on YouTube.

Its sad that there are not that many defenders of private property rights on this comments board.

What a wonderful idea, but only when he got back from his monthly vacation.

It’s James Brown recommended and approved.

The problem is that they setting themselves up for a lawsuit. If someone goes to that bathroom and is mugged , beat up, hurt, whatever. There is a reasonable expectation on the victims part that the camera installed is real and working if not otherwise stated, which gives the victim of any crime in front of that camera a false sense of security. The victim could win litigation against the Circle K for that reason alone. This camera could cause them trouble even though its not real.

Jim Bonnefeld

What is a chupa caca?

It is a mythical turd.

Are you that laoughner guys relative?

Your

You’re
It’s a contraction of you are,stupid

It’s a crime to install cameras in restrooms. People have been convicted of installing fake cameras in restrooms before in California because the supposed victim thought the camera was functional.

There are fake cameras everywhere, used as crime dterrents. No one has successfully sued the owner of these cameras when they failed to record an assault and no owner is under obligation to use real cameras to observe & record a crime.

Unfortunately, perverts abound.

What could be one man’s decent attempt to keep the local hooligans from smashing his toilet in with a crowbar is another man’s attempt to sell urinal photos to Internet fetishists.

The Internet has always been, and always will be, a really, really bad idea.

If the internet is such a bad idea why are you using it?

“The Internet has always been, and always will be, a really, really bad idea.”
That is such a backwards thinking idea only someone educated could say something that stupid. At least that guy is doing something to deter vandalism then just letting it happen.

“That is such a backwards thinking idea only someone educated could say something that stupid.”

Clearly you have no education and yet your stupidity shines through.

“While unpopular, the business manager said they haven’t had any vandalism at all since the camera was put in.”

…until the “vandals” get wind of this story…

Yeah, Norman, and that darn printing press was terrible, too. After they printed the Bible, just think of how much porn has been printed on it!

Shouldn’t make anyone any more uncomfortable than using a public restroom with other strangers in it. I think it’s a great idea – dummy camera that cuts down on behavior that should not be happening in a public restroom. Even if someone were to post pics on the internet of – WHAT? My back as I urinate and me washing my hands? bfd

What’s the big deal??? All you left-coast liberals applaud the TSA for feeling up your children and photographing your women!!!

Welcome to Janet Incompatano’s world! The person responsible for the 9-11 security breakdowns would whole-heartedly approve! And so would EVERY democrat congressman!

So freaking what!!! The miscreants who defaced the restroom are mental and physically corrupt and are mentally deficient, but hey dumb is a dumb does…and these mentally defective xeynific yak plops are what they are…idiots and worthless examples of humanity…

why not just lock the door to the restroom. same results. no vandelism.

Yes, Norman the internet has always been and always will be a bad idea, but go ahead and continue making your comments on these internet sites

Yeah, that is a hillarious comment, Norman. Don’t be looking at that TV or using that cellphone either.

Yeah, Mike lock the door and have a little fun

[...] [...]

yea Mike, lock the door, and no one can get in. good democratic idea,

TSA is a government agency, this is a local private business. Thats a huge difference.

The bathroom is on private property. A simple sign on the door that states something to the effect of “This bathroom is reserved for the paying patrons of this store and its use by them is conditional upon following:
1) Patrons will take reasonable care not to over consume supplies.
2) Patrons will take reasonable care to keep the bathroom clean
3) Patrons will notify management of poor conditions in bathroom
4) Patrons understand that managment reserves the right to monitor usage to ensure compliance with these conditions.

Let’s start to have respect for the businessman who owns the place.

Instead of cameras in our public bathrooms, we need to deport the Mexicans and other foreigners.

What are they doing in our country anyway? Who brought them here?

Plat,

I think one would find you can not legally deny someone bathroom use if you are a business owner. I know this because I’ve been one and not because I agree with it for I DO NOT.

Same for a restaurant. Any restaurant has to provide water to anyone that ask even though they purchase nothing. Water fountain or cup. Again, I do not agree with it but it was the law when I owned some food shops.

wow- you believe that it’s ok for the gov’nmt but not for the private citizen..as if that is better…does the word totalitarian mean anything to you.

I like all of your ideas posted here. That gives good warning and if the patron doesn’t like it they can vote with their feet.

You would rather be felt up by the government than use a different private restroom? Maybe you don’t understand the meaning of “Don’t tread on me.” Or maybe you’re just an idiot.

CAMERA Not hooked up! Now everybody knows! You guys are fools! Now they are gonna trash that Banasker!

Not alot of smart people in California are there.

So, you’re saying providing the foundation of civilization(water) is more than you can provide to the public, when you own a public business and are using public water. Impressive.

I’m all for being selfish, but you start taking away those little things that keep people alive and your business won’t be around long enough to care.

Luckily, most vandals don’t read much.

Nope… there aren’t. The just re-elected Jerry Brown! That says it all!

wow…..

” . . . the camera isn’t functional, but if it were, it would be a violation of privacy laws ‘.

What Privacy laws are we talking about? I wasn’t aware we have any privacy laws here in America. Don’t forget, under our current Justice Department, all US Citizens are now potential terrorists. That means you and me. They publicly grope us at airports; they irradiate us with microwave radiation. (Turn up the voltage a notch and you’ve got x-ray radiation capable of cooking the DNA inside bones). Next thing we know we’ll have the toilet cam, complete with audio, to detect whether or not we’re depositing any ordnance into the toilet from an internally worn suppository. Privacy laws?? What privacy?

Can’t wait to see the YT clip of masked vandals coming in to that can- to ripoff the camera. lmao

It all depends on where the camera is pointed at.as to whether my privacy has been violated. Some people are just no good and they are the ones that we shoulod be angry at, not the person attempting to maintain a facility for the customers conveniance, not the vandals entertainment.

MrMiran….”BINGO”!!!! An ace in the hole!!!! Lets see how much deeper the “Fruit & Nut” state will go!!!!

Especially the CA ones….Unless it’s in Spanish!!!!

Jimbo96….Slow down there Jim – Don’t have a coronary!!….Did those CA wackos do something to ya’lll???

So now all someone needs to do is replace the fake one with a real camera. Wait it will happen.

Doesn’t Ca require equality? If so, only the mens room?

mike…..that takes some thought and “Common Sense”…There aint a lot of that left in CA these days!!!!

The Obummer & Napolitano express, which could NOT make a stop in Arizona – because they all had their guns out!!!!

Henry Thoreau….Maybe he is just “Sick & Tired” of illegals coming in all the time – lets face it there are millions of them in CA – that’s why the State is going to hell in a hand basket!!! Arizona has the right idea….We just need the right guy in the Oval Office – but thats coming in 2012!!! Take that to the bank!!!

@Donkeyface….Now they will have to really hook that thing up and pay big $$ to some security company for 24/7 monitoring!!!

@Sam…….AMEN to that – NO longer land of the FREE!!!!! Your papers plse or you will be “Groped”!!!

Only needs one…

It is a dummy camera ie no camera at all,
but then the vandals are dummies also

Give it a rest. If the vagrants of society weren’t destroying his proiperty, he woul;dn’t have to do this. And there’s a stall in the bathroom. What are you going to come out with your junk hanging out.

Bet the camera is gone/stolen after today:-)

Get over it people.

The TSA now has millions and millions of high resolution nude images of the traveling public. After the U.S. follows the UK in requiring GPS tracking devices on all new vehicles, they’ll probably mandate installing dash-cams to monitor driver behavior.

The old days of an owner just beating the heck out of vandals is long gone. their freedom and rights far outweigh those of us tax paying and law abiding citizens.

Geez, most of you sound like you just woke after a 20 years snooze and are surprised to find yourself a second class citizen.

Time for complainng is over. Just lean back, relax, and try to enjoy it….

I went into the bathroom the other day and there were webcams on the urinals. You could tell someone was watching too because after I stepped back, they flushed the urinal for me.

The flushing was most likely automatic and NOT remotely controlled.

HAHAHAHA now THAT was funny. Thanks for the laugh.

Why did the store reveal this, especially to a newspaper? Unbelievable.

Thank Capt. Obvious!!!

Because odds are the people who did the damage will not be doing things like reading newspapers.

Fred, did you not see what he said? Whoever was using the camera flushed the urinal for him.

Fred, you area a putz – quit trying to rain on a funny post.

Former first lady is that you?

I bet it keeps people from stealing and eating the little pink breath mints out of the urinals, too.

That is a funny post, but Fred’s stupid post is even more so. He couldn’t have done it without you though, he’s too stupid!

P.S. What are you doing in the Men’s bathroom, Hillary?

They can’t be breath mints. They taste terrible and take too long to dissolve.
