Eavesdropping on others is normal when in close proximity to others, but it’s quite another thing when listening devices are found in city offices. In Charlotte, Vermont, two eavesdropping devices were found in Charlotte Town Hall, “spying” on town clerk and private town hall meetings.
While both of the audio “bugging” devices weren’t in operation, town officials don’t know why anyone would have installed bugging equipment nor do they have any clue as to who perpetrated the crime. The bugs were found when workers opened a drop ceiling.
