Man Tapes Himself Installing Perv-Cam at His Eatery

Bail set for Long Island restaurant owner

A judget set bail at $50,000 Monday for a Long Island man accused of installing a video camera in the women's room of the restaurant he owns.

Another camera in the restaurant actually recorded Omar Romero installing the device at the Poloros restaurant in Mineola.

Police said Scotch tape held the matchbook-sized camera in place in a ceiling tile in the restroom.

"Nowadays you have to be careful even going to the bathroom, apparently," one patron said.

Romero would go to his office at the restaurant and watch on a television monitor as women -- customers and employees -- used the restroom, police said.

A female customer spotted the camera on Sunday, just a day after Romero allegedly installed it, police said.

Romero, a married father of three who admits he has a "behavioral problem," police said, pleaded not guilty to a charge of unlawful surveillance.
