The Use Of Video Surveillance System In Public Places And The Protection Of Privacy

As an important means of social management,the use of video surveillance system in public places has played an important role in the maintenance of public safety and the optimization of public governance.Together with technological advances,largescale use of video surveillance systems in public places has become possible.The scope and density of its monitoring are gradually increasing.However,based on "privacy stratification theory" and "contextual integrity theory",citizens have the right to privacy in public places,and the existence of the right to privacy in public places is of great significance to the realization of personal dignity and personal freedom.Therefore,the contradiction between the use of video surveillance systems in public places and the protection of citizens 'privacy has become an unavoidable problem in reality.The legal conflicts between the use of video surveillance systems in public places and the privacy rights in public places are mainly conflicts between privacy rights in public places and public powers,conflicts between privacy rights in public places and the right to know,conflicts between privacy rights in public places and freedom of expressions.There are many reasons behind the conflict between the two.The inevitability of the conflict between the public interest and personal private interest is the most fundamental reason.Secondly,the development and abuse of surveillance technology have increased infringement and expanded the use of video surveillance systems in public places.Contradictions with citizens 'privacy rights,and finally there are consciousness-level reasons,the public power subjects using the monitoring system are not very aware of the boundaries,but citizens' personal privacy awareness has been improved.The article summarizes the specific forms of infringement of citizen's privacy by improper use of video surveillance system in public places by analyzing and sorting cases in practice.Infringements run through every link of the video surveillance system application.Unreasonable installation areas in the system installation phase and irregular monitoring behaviors in the system use phase infringe upon citizen's right to private life and the improper use of data information in the data management use phase What violates the illegal disclosure is the privacy and control of the privacy of citizens.In addition,through the analysis and sorting of infringements in practice,the characteristics of privacy infringements caused by improper use of video surveillance systems in public places are summarized: first,citizen's infringements of surveillance systems are difficult to detect;With the development of technology,the breadth and extent of privacy infringement have deepened.Third,privacy infringements caused by video surveillance systems in public places rarely enter the judicial field.In view of the conflict between the use of video surveillance systems in public places and the protection of privacy,we can alleviate the conflict from the level of improving relevant laws,clarifying technical use regulations,and strengthening the ethical awareness of all parties.The first step is to get the law first,improve the legal protection of citizens 'privacy,and unify legislation to regulate the use of video surveillance systems in public places.Secondly,it is necessary to clarify the specific rules for the use of monitoring technology.According to the different stages of the application of the monitoring system,the specific rules can be divided into "process regulation" and "result regulation" for the use of monitoring technology.Finally,all parties involved in the use of video surveillance systems in public places should establish a sense of parallelism between the use of technology and the protection of rights,and jointly build a balanced ecology of the use of video surveillance system in public places and the protection of privacy.
