This move aims to standardize the management of public safety video image information systems, maintain public safety, and protect personal privacy and individual information rights. The State Council's website published the "Regulations on the Management of Public Safety Video Image Information Systems," which stipulates that public safety video systems in public places such as major urban and rural roads, administrative area road boundaries, bridges, tunnels, underground passages, squares, and areas surrounding key public security units should be organized by local governments at or above the county level according to construction plans, included in public infrastructure management, and the construction and maintenance costs should be included in the budget of the respective government. The regulations require that public safety video systems in areas involving public safety, including "commercial centers, exhibition centers, tourist attractions, cultural and sports entertainment venues, educational institutions, medical institutions, government service halls, parks, public parking lots, and other crowded places," must be necessary for maintaining public safety. Other units or individuals, apart from relevant government departments and units responsible for operational management, are prohibited from installing such systems. The regulations also prohibit the installation of image collection equipment and related facilities in public areas such as guest rooms or private rooms in hotels, inns, guesthouses, hostels, and homestays, as well as in student dormitory rooms or rooms provided for internal personnel by units for accommodation and rest services. At the same time, the installation of image collection equipment and related facilities in accordance with these regulations, located near military restricted areas, military management areas, and sensitive units such as national agencies, must obtain prior consent from the relevant sensitive units. The regulations state that video image information collected by public safety video systems must be retained for no less than 30 days; after 30 days, video image information that has fulfilled its processing purpose must be deleted. For entities that violate the installation of image collection equipment and related facilities, individuals who violate the law will be fined between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan (RMB), while violating units will be fined between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan. Engaging in voyeurism, secretly filming, or eavesdropping on others' privacy, constituting a violation of public security management, will be subject to public security management penalties; if it constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility will be pursued according to law. Illegally obtaining state secrets or military secrets will be punished according to relevant laws; if it constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility will be pursued according to law ### Related Stocks - [600640.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600640.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [Trump’s Bond Buyback Push Puts Kevin Warsh in a Tough Spot — Peter Schiff Says Treasury ‘Pulled the Rug Out From Under’](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296615127.md) - [Scott Bessent Brings His Hedge Fund Playbook To Treasury.
