BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – Eight nurses and nine nursing assistants are being charged with felony and misdemeanor counts for what the New York State Attorney General calls a “pattern of neglect” against a disabled resident at HighPointe on Michigan nursing home. The 17 now-former employees of the HighPointe appeared in Buffalo City Court Friday. The 56-year-old resident, who suffered from Huntington’s chorea, a neurological disease that left him non-ambulatory and bedridden, was completely dependent on nursing home staff. Eric Schneiderman announced Friday that a hidden camera placed in his room revealed the 17 employees routinely ignored their duties and the resident’s documented needs. “Nursing home residents are among our state’s most vulnerable citizens, and the perpetual neglect in this case is shameful,” Schneiderman said. During the month of June 2013, the Attorney General says nurses failed to dispense pain medication and check on the resident. Aides allegedly neglected to check on the resident, provide him with liquids, and failed to perform incontinent care. Schneiderman says the staff then falsified documents to conceal their neglect. “These sheets were filled out, both the medication administration form and the two-hour check sheet, were filled out by staff members indicating that they provided this care, when in fact our video surveillance showed they were either not in the room, not present in the room or did not administer the medication or did not administer the care they recorded they did,” said Special Assistant Attorney General Thomas Schleif. Michael Scinta is an attorney with the Brown Chiari firm, which handles nursing home abuse and neglect cases, but was not involved in this case.Scinta says use of a hidden camera is rare. “Oftentimes, there’s proof of neglect, but when there’s a suspicion of neglect, where you’re not sure if some neglect’s going on, that’s where the camera can be very beneficial,” said Scinta. Schleif would not reveal who tipped off the Attorney General’s Office, in this case. The 17 employees are charged with first degree falsifying business records, first degree endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person and willful violation of public health laws Shameful!

Anyone remember Candid Camera? Just to watch people reactions are at times funny. I mean that when someone hidden camera in a good humor though.

I hope to God that it was 17 out of 30-40 employees, and not 17 out of 17. I hope there were at least a FEW decent employees that were caring for him. d**n

When I was a young partner, someone was stealing small amounts of money from the office safe. There was never very much money in the safe, petty cash mainly. One of the senior partners decided to catch the culprit. Accordingly, he hid in his darkened office until late at night. When I found out what was going on, I suggested an approach I had used a number of times with my clients. Specifically, we had cameras hidden near the safe. The cameras were almost impossible to detect, but the cameras had to be reloaded with film. When I discovered that the somewhat less than street-savvy partner was using law clerks to change the film, I never puked. Needless to say, we never caught the thief, but the stealing stopped.

Pretty sure they have a general rule of thumb that you are supposed to maintain line of sight with the drone you are piloting. So you should be within a half mile or so, maybe less in town with all the obstructions. It really is pretty creepy to think some one would buzz by your window with a camera mounted. Isn't that really the same as a 'Peeping Tom'? Only difference is that he has electronic eyeballs and his feet are not actually on your property. Robbers could use it to case your place too. Any Lawyers want to chime in on this? ROMAN?? Anyone else? Those drones could be used against the "cop killers" or to protect the cops when they are at a crime scene. I'm sure those drones would of done some help as far as that Ferguson, Missouri. I'm sure that the law enforcement may use them for their protection. As a citizen, we need to know that with this technology now out, that we could be recorded, without our knowledge at any given time. I would think, it would be consider "Peeping Tom" . But we have to consider, with these drones coming out, that we really don't have any privacy, even on our own property. And these lawyers will take advantage of these drones. Cops have been using robots at crime scenes for a long time now. But, drones now let them get an aerial view. If drones would stop a cop from getting killed (or anyone else) by being able to see someone with a gun around the corner, then I'm all for that. But, like you say, privacy is an issue as well....

I wasn't worried about the law students ripping us off. I knew that the law clerks were buddy-buddy with the secretaries and some of them would end up "sharing" their little secret. I knew, that in a few days, most of the office would know about the cameras.
I used a detective in a number of cases who looked like something out of the movies. A former FBI agent, he even had a foxy secretary. I could not believe how much he could find out about people. He helped us set up a "black light" trap for a principal who was ripping off a school district. In another case, the cameras he set up caught two different employees who were stealing. Today, of course, there are websites which have detailed backgrounds on people.
