Despite floor-length partitions being installed to block gaps, gaps remain above and below cubicles, and filming is still possible from benches. The swimmer involved says she feels unsafe and now avoids the facility, advocating for separate male and female changing rooms — especially with kids around — while recognizing the value of gender-neutral spaces. Local Board member Uzra Casuri Balouch is pushing for better physical barriers and clearer signage, exploring fire-safe custom partitions and even considering gendered rooms if the community demands it — though that would mean costly closures. This isn’t an isolated case: another pool saw nearly 400 men secretly filmed over six years. As smart glasses and hidden tech become more common, authorities are scrambling to update laws and set clear device-use expectations — before the next incident happens.
