Net users raise doubts about invasion of privacy
A netizen from Zhejiang said: I doubt about the exposure behavior: chatting with a f traffic police friend he learns that on Jiaxing highway, there are also a lot of “indecent photos”, but considering such a picture will cause other family’s turmoil, police just stop to do more about this. After human flesh, how will this little girl face others?
Zhang Haifeng, a lawyer from Anzhe Law Firm considered that such act was suspected of invading privacy: even if during law enforcement, the law enforcement authorities should also protect the privacy of the parties. The photo shows the interior scene of the vehicle, Zhang Haifeng said that the car is a private place, even if need exposure, the picture should also be processed.
A well-known writer Lan Jiang thought it had nothing to do with privacy: “What is privacy? On one side it is could not be viewed by others, the other side it should not be involved with the public interest and security, only the intersection of the two can be considered privacy. Making love in the car of home garage is personal privacy, but the dangerous driving behavior which threats traffic safety is definitely not privacy.
August 22 morning, reporter contacted with the local traffic police office department in Santai County, the head Mr. Liang was surprised by spreading of the photo captured by electronic eye, “We have only inner network, even if public security departments extract illegal information, we should get approval of higher authorities.”
Mr Liang said: he was not clear who spread it out, in addition to the traffic management department in Santai County, other traffic control departments in Sichuan could also log onto the system to extract the photo. Mr Liang also said: If individual needs to check traffic violation, he should bring related driving license, otherwise, the traffic police would not provide violation information.
