公安部規範攝像頭使用 可能泄露隱私場所禁安裝

China is mulling over a ban on the installation of security cameras in public places where they could infringe on the public's privacy, such as hotel rooms, dormitories, public bathrooms, locker rooms and toilets, according to a draft regulation released by the Ministry of Public Security.

根據公安部日前公佈的一份條例草案，我國正在考慮禁止在旅館客房、集體宿舍、公共浴室、更衣室、衛生間等可能侵犯公衆隱私的公共場所安裝監控錄像頭。

The draft ordinance requires a reasonable distance between a camera or video equipment and a household residence, and signs be put up to make the public aware of the presence of cameras in public places.

條例草案要求攝像頭或錄像設備與居民住宅保持合理距離，應設置標識提醒公衆注意公共場所存在的攝像頭。

Organizations or people are not allowed to use cameras to illegally obtain state and business secrets or infringe on the public's right to privacy, the document added.

條例還稱，任何單位和個人不得利用攝像頭非法獲取國家祕密、商業祕密或侵犯公衆隱私權。

When security surveillance footage is disclosed for public use, personal information, such as individual body features and plate numbers, should be obscured, unless otherwise stipulated by law.

安全監控錄像用於公共傳播時，除法律另有規定外，應當對個體特徵、車牌號等個人信息進行遮擋。

Those who illegally install surveillance cameras in public places will be fined up to RMB100,000, according to the document.

根據條例，在公共場所非法安裝監控攝像頭的，將面臨最高10萬元的罰款。
