Landlord sentenced for spying on tenants

NY - A central New York man was sentenced yesterday for spying on his tenants with hidden cameras.

Patrick Kaiser of Oneida was sentenced to two to six years in state prison. ... 49-year-old Kaiser told the judge he was sorry for installing cameras in an upstairs apartment so he could spy on his tenants having sex.

...he told investigators he'd installed small cameras in a bedroom alarm clock, the bathroom, and living room of the upstairs apartment of his Oneida building. The cameras provided a live video feed to two televisions in Kaiser's downstairs apartment.

Kaiser retired as a lieutenant with the Oneida City Fire Department in 2005. (more)
