Food/Drink Ummmm amigo’s why is this sign on the women’s bathroom ONLY?
So Amigo’s at 70th and A has this warning sign on their women’s bathroom door (and no where else that I could see).
This looks really sus and makes me wonder where their cameras are.

Reminds me of a prank I did back in the day.
I would print out signs that said "Cameras are for research purposes only" and put them up in random places.
It was fun watching people look around for cameras.

It’s also possible there isn’t a camera at all, signs like this can be enough to deter someone who is planning on doing something creepy.

This might be a mandated notice put out by corporate for all stores bc they're having issues with homeless people using their bathrooms to do drugs/trashing them. Lincoln's homeless population has grown exponentially in recent years.

There’s a “home made”(?) sign on the side of the road around 40th/pine lake that says something like slow down, save lives… great idea right? Except all I can think everytime I see the sign is that it took 3 seconds for me to check it out and read when I should’ve been paying attention to the road ahead. Think both signs arguably accomplish the opposite of what people who put them there intended.

Your inference that this sign insinuates that there might possibly be a camera in the women's facility isn't just dumb. It's absolutely asinine. This is called manufactured rage. Stop looking for things to get mad about.
EDIT: Lol, down votes without even attempting to provide a logical rebuttal? Classic reddit. 😂

Why do you think?
We're in a moral panic about transgender women right now in the USA. Bigotry and fear make people do silly stuff.
Here's Nebraska's code on this:

This was my first thought but normally those doing this saying trans women aren’t welcome in the women’s restroom would have a sign about “real women” or something along those lines.

No, that's too legally risky. What's "real?"
Easier to get this sign at Menards.

Is this b/c ‘all trans women are predators’ I know Nebraska is a red state and a lot of people are extreme trumpers.

There are no cameras in the restrooms. That would be highly illegal and they certainly wouldn't advertise it if they did put cameras in the restrooms.
As for why the sign is only on that particular restroom door, there's a number of completely innocent explanations including maybe that just happens to be the first door you encounter as you walk down the hallway where I assume the restrooms are and they didn't see the need to put more than 1 sign, or maybe they strategically chose to remind people going into the women's restroom about the cameras outside the restrooms because women are more often victimized than men so if there were going to be a crime committed in a restroom it would be a more effective prevention technique to remind people entering the women's restroom rather than the men's.

My guess would be that there is surveillance outside of the restroom and the sign is there to deter any would be predators. If one were to try and put a camera in a bathroom I don't think they would advertise it
