January 29, 2024

If neighbors install two cameras at your door, are you willing? Will you feel that privacy has been violated? The citizen Mr. Gao encountered such a thing. Since the appearance of these two cameras a month ago, Mr. Gao has been tangled: "Awkward, too awkward!" He protested to his neighbor, Mr. Peng, but it did not work. The other party explained: "The monitoring is only aimed at the common area of the aisle. It is completely anti-theft. Can this be considered privacy infringement?"

There are two cameras at the door of the house, Mr. Gao, who rents an old flat near Mo Ke Road. He must go through a one-meter-wide aisle. The two cameras installed by Mr. Peng next door are at the opposite ends of the back wall of the house facing the street.

Mr. Gao said that every day he enters the house and sees the two monitors, there is always an awkward feeling in his heart. One day, he spoke courageously to question Mr. Peng. “He took me back and said, 'I want to hold it, it doesn't matter to you!' It’s okay with me. In my house, for this matter, my wife told me Several times."

Mr. Gao did not play any role in negotiating with him. In the past month, the family had lived under “monitoring.” “It's too depressing.”

In the evening, when the toilet was raised, the bungalow rented by Mr. Gao was less than ten square meters. There was no kitchen and no bathroom. During the day, he could go to nearby public toilets. He could not go far at night and could only carry the potty to the outside.

"Eating and sleeping in the house is all it takes. It's not always convenient and it's inside the house, too." Mr. Gao said that since he had two more monitors, the family was nervous when they went to the toilet at night and stared nervously at the camera and had to speed up The movements of the trousers panicked. It was very sad. "The prostitute was eleven and two years old.

Once Mr. Gao went outside to wash vegetables, he pointed out that the door of Mr. Peng’s house was not closed. “He is watching the computer. The screen is the monitor screen. People come and go and see clearly.” He also saw Mr. Peng often Look back and forth to monitor. "What the hell is he doing?"

A few days ago, Mr. Gao made a report to the police. The civilian police came to see him soon after he left. He did not understand why the police did not manage this matter.

Neighbors: burglars and deterring thieves On the 24th, the reporter went to Mr. Gao's home. Two cameras were facing opposite the wall, which was about three meters high. The two aisles were aligned.

Why install a camera? Mr. Peng said that recently many neighbors have said that they have lost something at home, and even the neighbors have lost more than 2,000 yuan. In order to prevent theft, even more shocking thieves kept the evidence before installing surveillance. “Actually, there was monitoring, but the effect was not good, and two more advanced ones were changed a month ago.” And the monitoring range was only in the aisles. After Mr. Shigao’s alarm, the police also came over to check that the camera did not capture Mr. Gao’s home.

"This is not infringement of his privacy!" Mr. Peng said, otherwise the police will certainly make it dismantle, and the two cameras are at least a great psychological shock to the petty people.

The two aunts living nearby also said that they have been more comfortable since monitoring. Before the car was stolen, they didn't know when they were. Now people around them know that they have monitoring on their side. “Not to mention, really. The usefulness of our hearts is also pragmatic." Aunt mumbled, "I didn't care for anyone's home anyway. As long as I don't violate the law, I will support you."

Lawyer: It does not infringe privacy. According to lawyer of Jiangsu Gaoqi Law Firm Yin Changsong, from the perspective of this case, the consequences of infringement of privacy did not happen and could not be foreseen. The camera was photographed in the public area and Mr. Gao was not involved, so it was not infringed. personal privacy.

Yin lawyer said that whether to allow private installation of surveillance cameras, the location of the installation, the scope of shooting, etc., the current law is not yet clearly defined, so it produces similar conflicts between Mr. Gao and Mr. Peng.
