"A blogger was beaten by many people after discovering a camera in a B&B." On September 24, the Xinhua Branch of the Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau issued a police report stating that three suspects were arrested for illegally using special equipment for eavesdropping and photographing. All were arrested and criminal enforcement measures were taken in accordance with the law. The three people took advantage of their stay to secretly install online shopping monitoring equipment in the guest room to make illegal profits. They were not acquainted with the owner of the B&B. At the same time, when the video poster left the police station, some B&B owners present used illegal means to stop him. Xinhua Branch has imposed security penalties on three illegal actors suspected of disrupting public order in accordance with the law.

It can be found from the large number of anti-candid filming videos on the Internet that the public has always been worried about candid filming cameras. Some hotels have hidden candid filming cameras. However, the reason why this incident still attracted attention is that B&Bs The owner is arrogant and arrogant.

According to media reports, on September 15, the blogger involved discovered that there were hidden cameras in two hotels and B&Bs. When he was confirming and dismantling the cameras on the spot, he was surrounded and even beaten by dozens of B&B owners. According to the police report, the owner of the B&B believed that the behavior of the video poster affected the business, which led to the conflict. However, the dozens of owners are obviously not only from the two B&Bs involved. They can quickly gather the owners of multiple B&Bs and jointly carry out containment. It is difficult to explain it simply as "worrying about affecting operations". Is there a deeper common interest behind it? ? This needs further explanation.

After all, the blogger said in a statement afterwards that he had dismantled cameras in another location in Shijiazhuang. "The rule of law there is very civilized. (The owners) also asked us if we have any batch testing methods that can help them." If the B&B owners With a clear conscience, even if a secret camera was found hidden in the room, for the sake of the management and reputation of the B&B, they would cooperate to remove it. Why did they gather dozens of people to take such an extreme and illegal act?

In addition, the blogger involved stated that he found a camera in another hotel and B&B in the same location at the end of July and was subsequently surrounded. After calling the police, the blogger and his team signed a paper statement "not to publish this video" at the police station. From the time the police were called in July to the time it attracted public attention in September, did the local public security organs launch targeted cleaning operations, or did they rely on the paper statement to maintain "peace" on the surface?

Although the places and forms of secretly filmed cameras appear in "constantly", the response attitudes of many responsible parties involved are exactly the same. Recently, a camera was found in the toilet of the Hohai University library. When asked by reporters, the school asked: "Why are you calling the police?" This sentence reveals the school's lack of understanding of the illegal behavior of secretly filming, and also reflects the way it treats scandals. , the supervisor’s subconscious “cover your mouth” attitude.

In order to avoid being secretly photographed, many consumers will learn camera detection techniques through online videos before traveling, and even purchase professional equipment at their own expense. It is not a bad thing for the public to have more knowledge about preventing sneak shots, but the time and economic cost of this should not be passed on to consumers.

Stealth photography, eavesdropping and other behaviors seriously infringe on personal privacy, and will be subject to public security penalties at least, and criminal liability at worst. The public security organs also have the professional equipment and information technology means to trace the candid camera team to the source and find out the real culprit. From all aspects, the police should assume the role of investigation and law enforcement.

Therefore, the public security organs cannot have the mentality of "covering up the ugly" or "treating the head when it hurts, and the foot when it hurts" and turn a blind eye to candid photography. Instead, they should actively intervene in the investigation in advance and organize camera cleaning operations from time to time. , find the culprit and cut off the profit chain of candid photography. Hotels should also fulfill their management responsibilities. Not only should they not get involved with the candid camera gangs, but they should also list camera inspections as a daily management requirement that is as important as health and safety. This is also a reflection of the hotel's competitiveness.

Summer and autumn are the peak tourist seasons. It is obviously not enough to rely solely on cultural and tourism promotion for a city's image. A good public security environment is a key part of travel decisions.
