Gwangyang Police Conduct Intensive Inspection of 'Illegal Hidden Cameras' in Public Restrooms at Vacation Spots

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Gwangyang Police Station in Jeonnam announced on the 21st that following the first inspection of illegally installed cameras in May and June, they have begun the second inspection of public restrooms at vacation spots in July and August to prepare for the peak vacation season.

This inspection involved checking for the installation of illegal filming cameras, as well as verifying the presence of camera installation traces, provocative graffiti, and the lack of separation between male and female spaces, among other potential safety concerns.

The Gwangyang police operate a special digital sex crime investigation unit to promptly initiate investigations if any criminal suspicions are found. Additionally, a victim protection team has been formed to actively support victims.

Although no illegally installed cameras were found during the first inspection, continuous inspection activities have contributed to alleviating the anxiety of Gwangyang citizens and preventing crimes.

The second inspection goes beyond a simple check by using posters to inform citizens about amendments to digital sex crime laws to raise awareness, and also conducts promotional activities for sex crime prevention through untact methods (COVID-19 social distancing).

Chief Kim Hyunsik stated, “We will strive to ensure that the citizens of Gwangyang, already exhausted from the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, do not suffer from additional crime damage,” and added, “We will make Gwangyang a happy city free of crime during this summer vacation period.”
