So in his case, the camera came on because the District legitimately thought the laptop was stolen? What about all the other kids with the "green light problem"? My high school kept track of all the classroom-use laptops, it sounds like quite a few students would have to be able to sneak them out illicitly for the district to justify enabling the cameras on all of them.

Maybe not duct, as that would leave gross residue. Perhaps painter's tape?

Right, I forgot that the adhesive changes over time and can be tough to remove sometimes

Have you tried removing the adhesive with rubbing alcohol?
