Naju-si Provides Free Rental of 'Illegal Camera Detection Equipment' for Sexual Crime Prevention

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Han-hyuk] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 16th that it will implement a "Free Rental Service for Illegal Filming Camera Detection Equipment" to prevent digital sex crimes.

This service was prepared to alleviate social anxiety caused by the recent increase in illegal camera filming crimes, known as "molka," occurring in various places including public restrooms.

The illegal filming camera detection equipment consists of a set of two types: a "frequency detector" and a "lens detector," making it easy to detect hidden cameras that are not easily visible.

Anyone who owns or manages privately owned restrooms in commercial buildings, restaurants, hospitals, lodging facilities, etc., can apply for the service.

Applicants should bring their ID and apply by phone or visit the Environmental Management Division (3rd floor) of City Hall.

Since rentals are made in order of application, it is recommended to check availability by phone before visiting.

The rental period is within 3 days including the day of receipt, and extensions are possible through prior consultation.

The city plans to distribute "Women’s Safety Stickers" to restroom owners who wish to participate, targeting restrooms that are regularly inspected through periodic equipment rentals.

A city official said, "We will do our best to operate and promote this illegal filming camera detection equipment rental service so that citizens can use restrooms with peace of mind," adding, "We will continue to strive to develop social safety policies to provide a safe environment for citizens, including women."
