2022-07-18
Social groups with hundreds or even thousands of members are "quiet" in the group, because the group owner has turned on the all forbidden mode, but many people in the group show "online". From time to time, the group administrator sends some video pictures to the group, and the content is unattractive - involving women's private parts or private places such as bedrooms and toilets, and shouted, "if you want to see more wonderful content, you can chat with the group owner in private.". This is the scene seen by the undercover group of reporters from the rule of law Daily recently. After entering the summer, sneak photography increased. According to public reports, recently, subway sites in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places have been caught illegally photographing. The reporter's investigation found that the sale of secretly photographed equipment and videos is more active on the Internet, and a black industry chain for secretly photographed has been formed. Social groups sell sneak videos, set themes, and update daily "No charge, just screenshots. Download an application in the application mall, scan the QR code in the screenshot, watch the video for one minute and add friends. After chatting with the screenshot with the user ID interface, you can enter the sneak group for free, and watch all kinds of original videos for free." On July 12, after the reporter joined a social group, the group leader immediately sent this message. After the above operations, the reporter was pulled into a group called "bargain hunting sharing group", in which a small number of videos and pictures were secretly taken. At this time, a message of @ all members pops out: "the preview group only shows a few videos for everyone to experience. If you want to see more wonderful content, you can directly chat with the group owner and join the paid SVIP group." In order to conduct an in-depth investigation, the reporter joined the SVIP group and found that, unlike the previous "bottom reading sharing group" with thousands of members, the SVIP group had only more than 300 people, but more than 200 people showed that they had recently been online or online, and the group uploaded more than 1000 sneak videos, which were updated with a frequency of 20 or 30 per day. "There is also the content of the sneak shooting on that day, which will never be the resource of that kind of rotten street." The SVIP group owner claimed. The reporter saw that these videos were mostly short videos of women's skirt bottoms in places such as subways, supermarkets and auto shows. From the perspective of photography, most of the sneak photographers follow the victims and wait for opportunities behind them. At the same time, there are some sneak videos from hotel rooms and private bedrooms. The time in the lower right corner of the video shows that most of them were taken in the past two years. An online shop owner who specially modified the mobile camera told reporters that in public places, the success rate of sneak photography is high during commuting hours or when there are many people, and people's attention is distracted; If you use a mobile phone with a modified camera or a sneak shooting device, the success rate of sneak shooting is much higher than that of ordinary mobile phones. In the investigation, the reporter found that some sneak photography groups also classified "special hobbies", with "toilet photography", "Hotel photography" and "bath photography" as the theme. The group owner will also offer discounts to those who have purchased the qualification of "sneak shooting member". For example, after the reporter joined the SVIP group, an administrator sent a private letter saying that they can enter the "toilet shooting" group with a 60% discount. Pay two or three hundred yuan to enter a timely update group that claims to be all about the content of the day. Where did these sneak videos come from? It is understood that there are criminals who specialize in secretly shooting and selling videos, others who specialize in purchasing and collecting secretly photographed videos, and others who exchange by uploading their own secretly photographed "works". An "insider" told reporters that his picture package resources were purchased from a "industry leader" who specializes in secretly photographing models and online celebrities. A set of resources can be sold for more than 6000 yuan; There are also people who have been in existence for many years, especially shooting skirt bottoms in the streets and public places. Online shop sells sneak shooting equipment, mobile phone refits camera for sneak shooting If there is a sneak video, there must be a sneak camera. Where do these camera equipment come from? On an e-commerce platform, the reporter searched with "micro", "needle head" and "camouflage head", and found dozens of online stores selling pinhole cameras, which sell a wide variety of pinhole cameras. According to these online stores, pinhole cameras can be camouflaged in various items, such as patch panels, thermos bottles, car keys, humidifiers, shampoo, etc. The reporter contacted the customer service of one of the online stores, and the other party soon sent a physical picture of a pinhole camera, which is 3.8cm in diameter, 1cm thick, similar in shape to buttons, and only a little larger than coins. Customer service told reporters: these pinhole cameras can be monitored in real time when there is a network, and can also be recorded and replayed when there is no network; Some need to return to the place where they are placed to receive videos, while others can be downloaded directly through the corresponding software. In order to avoid the supervision of the platform, the content on the cover of some online stores is "contact customer service to see the picture", without physical display. Some online stores "sell dog meat by hanging sheep's heads" and use other goods instead of pinhole cameras. Only when you consult customer service can you get the information of the items that are actually sold. In addition, some stores said that the camera of mobile phones could be refitted, costing 1200 to 3000 yuan. Most brands of mobile phones in the market can refit the front camera to the top, which is convenient for sneak photography. The reporter's investigation found that there are also cases of purchasing the use right of secretly photographing equipment on the Internet. A peddler told reporters that their candid videos are updated in real time, and the cameras are placed facing beds, massage chairs and other places. "After purchasing the right to use the pinhole camera, you can watch the recent videos or even live broadcasts. As for what you see, it depends on your luck. It may be daily at home, and there are some fragrant pictures, you know.". After the investigation, the reporter immediately reported through the platform system. Customer service told reporters that the platform will generally close stores and other penalties for businesses selling contraband. Within 24 hours after the report, the platform sent the reporter a notice of the completion of the processing. The reporter found that the previously reported product link was clicked again, and the product had been taken off the shelf, indicating that "the product has been sold out", but the store was still open normally, and other pinhole camera products in the store can still be browsed and purchased normally. Some businesses told reporters that they are not afraid to be reported at all. Anyway, they are registered with a small number; Even if you are reported to be off the shelves and closed down, you can open another online store with another account. In fact, the sale and use of pinhole cameras have been suspected of crimes. China's criminal law clearly stipulates that those who illegally produce or sell special espionage equipment or special equipment for eavesdropping or stealing photos shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance and shall also, or shall only, be fined; Whoever illegally uses special equipment for eavesdropping or stealing photos, causing serious consequences, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than two years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Strengthen supervision, control at the source, and form a deterrent against criminal attacks To crack down on and rectify the black industrial chain, the relevant departments made a strong attack. In the "100 day action" of the summer public security crackdown and rectification deployed by the Ministry of public security, the network security department of the national public security organs cracked down on the illegal production, installation and control of eavesdropping, photographing and peeping devices, such as webcams, and more than 140 cases have been detected, more than 40 dens for the illegal production of eavesdropping and photographing special devices have been destroyed, more than 380 suspect have been arrested, and more than 100000 pieces of eavesdropping, photographing special devices and parts have been seized. Huyunyun, a lawyer at Beijing Yinghe law firm, believes that, on the one hand, it is necessary to effectively strengthen the source control, strengthen the supervision of the production and sales of special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos, strengthen the qualification management of manufacturers, and major e-commerce platforms should audit sensitive goods sold by merchants, urge merchants to register consumers' purchasing behavior with their real names, so that the source and whereabouts of relevant equipment can be traced; On the other hand, we need to constantly improve relevant laws and regulations, strengthen the punishment of relevant illegal acts, and increase illegal costs. Hu yunyun noted that in recent years, many people who "secretly photographed the bottom of women's skirts" have been punished by administrative detention. He believes that compared with the physical and mental harm caused to the victims and the high amount of illegal income, such punishment is difficult to resist some people's profit impulse. "In addition to administrative punishment, the infringer can also be required to bear civil liability in accordance with the relevant provisions of the personality rights and tort liability parts of the civil code. If the suspect spreads the secretly photographed video on the Internet, and the secretly photographed content conforms to the definition of the scope of obscene articles in Chinese law, it may be suspected of constituting the crime of spreading obscene articles." Hu yunyun said that the criminal law should also play a mandatory and deterrent role in secretly photographing illegal production and sales in the black industry chain. Xie Shu, an associate professor at the school of criminal justice of China University of political science and law, said that if the act of sneak shooting involves the production, reproduction, publication, trafficking and dissemination of "for profit", it may constitute the crime of making, reproduction, publication, trafficking and dissemination of pornographic materials for profit; If the video or picture obtained by secretly photographing is spread, and the circumstances are serious, it may constitute the crime of spreading pornographic materials. Even if there is no "profit-making purpose" and the communication is not involved, if the circumstances are serious, the act of secretly photographing may still constitute the crime of compulsory indecency. Previously, cases against children have been handled in judicial practice. "At present, some people who steal photos are mostly punished by administrative detention, mainly because in the past, the criminal justice practice 'for the purpose of making profits' or the' threshold 'of serious dissemination is high, which requires the judicial organ to further clarify the standards of law application through judicial interpretation, guiding cases and typical cases." Xie Shu said. Hu yunyun called on the victims to have the courage to defend their rights and interests with legal weapons after discovering that they have been infringed. "Cases involving personal privacy are not heard in public according to the law, so the infringed need not have concerns when defending their rights through civil or criminal means. It is suggested to fix the evidence before prosecution and resolutely say 'no' to illegal acts." (trainee reporter zhangshoukun, reporter zhoubin) (outlook new era)
