Funny this should come up now.

I'm on holiday at the moment and have been having geek fun by SSHing into a raspberryPi back at my home [in a different country], taking photos with its camera and uploading them to Google Drive where i can view them from here.

It did idly cross my mind that this kind of setup had the potential for "remote control" crime. I expect we'll start seeing more of this sort of thing, in future.
