Surveillance cameras installed to prevent people from secretly filming schoolgirls

Don’t worry girls, from now on only authorized individuals will be able to record video of you walking to and from school:

Crime prevention associations and a local security equipment company donated five security cameras to a girls’ high school in the Yamate district, following a spate of incidents involving groping and secret filming of students earlier this year.

The cameras were recently installed along the 360-meter-long route between JR Ishikawacho Station and Yokohama Yamate Girls’ Junior and Senior High School.

Quite ironic, to combat secretly using cameras with cameras.
I guess, there won’t be a person on duty to check the camera feeds all the time, so it would most likely make more sense to actually have someone patrol the area, especially since it’s not that much of a distance to cover.
