South Korea is in the grip of a "spycam" epidemic with covert footage of sex, nudity, and urination posted online in what amounts to a "social death penalty" for thousands of female victims.
The footage may be taken surreptitiously by boyfriends or captured on covert devices as small as car keys. Daily camera checks are now part of life for cleaners in many public toilets.
The spy camera phenomenon has reached such epidemic proportions in tech-savvy South Korea that tens of thousands of women have taken to the streets to march for action.
Srsly?

No, I'm not paranoid, they just program me that way.

If it makes you mad you mod troll
If you think it makes others mad you mod flamebait
If its about raping women/kids you mod Spam
If you disagree with it you mod redundant
If you think its wrong you mod disagree
If you can't decide you mod overrated
Or so I assume based on how I get modded, IANADownmodder.

It's not hard to imagine complacency creeping in. You check the toilets one thousand times for cameras, are you going to catch the one spycammed toilet?
Or they could just say that they check but not do it whatsoever.
The "50 government employees" could refer to a police task force giving directions to janitorial staff, and they might not even handle the issue full time. They may just eat doughnuts while talking about the issue in a conference room once per quarter.
The toilets could be checked by janitors only after a building closes. So the perpetrator just needs to install them sometime after opening time and uninstall before closing time.
