Women argue that the current law is not enough to stop the non-consensual shooting and distribution of videos. The person who started the petition wrote, “The number of criminals taking illegal videos with subminiature cameras everywhere like bathrooms, hotels, the subway and homes is surging,” and added, “They can easily purchase them with a few clicks, and they are openly sold because there are no adequate regulations.” This petition received the support of over 77,000 people by this afternoon, just two days since the petition was first posted. On June 18, a petition was posted on the Cheongwadae petition website asking the government to ban the sale of subminiature cameras. Seo Hye-jin, an attorney at The Lighthouse Law Office said, “The ultra-compact cameras used in the illegal shooting of videos are developing more creatively than a normal mind can think of.” The international human rights group, Human Rights Watch released the report, “My Life Is Not Your Porn: Digital Sex Crimes in South Korea” on June 16 and described that the perpetrators illegally capturing pictures and videos in South Korea used tiny cameras disguised as ordinary household items, such as clocks, calculators, clothing hooks, and coffee cups to shoot body parts of women in bathrooms, changing rooms, and hotels.
#SPY CAM VIDEOS DRIVERS#
The suspect was a driving instructor who mainly taught female drivers and had installed a subminiature camera in the vehicle he used for his lessons. On June 17, the Gwanak Police Station in Seoul requested an arrest warrant for a man in his thirties who was suspected of shooting illegal pictures of women and distributing them. The company promoted the camera in question as a product that would not be detected with a spy-cam detector and claimed that it was not illegal. The picture of a vase attached to this post was a picture-frame camcorder sold by a company that specializes in subminiature cameras, and it is difficult to identify the camera with the naked eye. Recently, people have been sharing a post claiming, “If you see this picture frame in a motel room, you must get out immediately,” on social media. But the fear has grown after finding out that a teacher, who was well respected by his colleagues, installed a spy cam.” A said, “Before, when a camera was found inside a school, I thought it was the work of an outsider.
A, a teacher, recently heard that a male teacher in a nearby school was being investigated for installing a camera in the bathroom for female teachers. They hear about people they know falling victim to spycams aside from what they hear on the news. What women feel when they think of illegally captured videos of an unspecified number of the public in subways or public bathrooms is close to abandonment or helplessness. I sometimes look at the printer in my room and think, ‘What if there is a camera hidden inside?’” She continued and said, “I know that I’m being paranoid, but I can’t not be worried since there are women who have actually fallen victim.” She said, “All the women I know are this much sensitive to the issue. Yi spoke with the reporter over the phone on June 20 and said, “I recently bought a used printer from a man. She feels at risk even in her home, not to mention public bathrooms, the subway and hotels.
Yi (28), an employee, is worried about spy cams all the time. I don’t have to wear any makeup and my face isn’t exposed to illegal spy cams when I go to the bathroom.”
