PLATTE CITY, Neb., Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A Platte City, Neb., woman said police inappropriately aimed a surveillance camera at her back yard and bedroom window.

Stephanie Santos, who lives in an apartment with her two children, said her father, who lives in an adjacent apartment, noticed the camera Friday, camouflaged in a nearby tree. A policewoman acknowledged the camera was installed by police to monitor activity in nearby woods and was mounted on city property, but Santos said the land is privately owned.
