Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:

EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should've looked into posting this in a different community.. It's closer to a silly "innovation".. soo.. is this considered FUD? I also don't support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had "privacy-violating" before the "solution".

• Not an invasion of privacy.

• Activating a sprinkler would be a better deterrent than sending an alert to Simon.

Yes it is an invasion of privacy if it recognizes which student it is (not entirely clear based off of the post). The sprinkler idea is fabulous though.
