In a communist country, efforts to keep tabs on everyone knows no bounds as exemplified by the Oral-B electric toothbrush spy camera. The Chinese manufacturers of this particular piece of spy gear have placed a tiny pinhole camera with a built-in 8GB flash memory and 4-5 hours of battery life just in case your fillings are doing drug deals or pimping hoes.
The site claims that this toothbrush spy camera is, “Ideal for CIA agents, police, detector, and spy agency.” The toothbrush spy camera retails for $243. We hope that our tax dollars are going towards buying equipment that is a little more advanced (and useful).
