Piscataway, New Jersey-AP -- A college student in New Jersey has been arrested for allegedly hiding a camera in a dorm room in an attempt to spy on his roommate and the roommate's girlfriend having sex. Officials at Livingston College say the student linked the camera to the Internet and planned to watch with some friends from another room.

But his plan was foiled when the couple spotted the camera and called police.

The student was charged with intercepting an oral communication.

A spokeswoman for Rutgers University -- which oversees Livingston -- says the school may also take disciplinary action.

The New Jersey police weren't called in because of the camera, but because the ho wasn't from New Jersey. Charges are pending against the girl for moving into a commercial services market that is legally a closed shop, according to New Jersey's strictly legislated union requirements.

From what graduates have told me (and people who have talked to the housing staff has also told me), there actually were enough hookers working Livingston in the late 1960s and early 1970s -- enough that it was a problem that everyone talks about.
