CCTV설치·운영의 법률적 한계와 개선방안

The demand for CCTV is continuously increasing due to the prevention of crime and the increase of expectation for it. The police are establishing and operating CCTV for the purpose of crime prevention and investigation, and the central government and municipalities are installing and operating CCTV for the purpose of increasing security and public service. However, unlike expectations, some empirical studies suggest that research is less effective than anticipated in crime prevention and the use of criminal investigations. addition, the increase of CCTV for crime prevention always implies the risk of infringement of privacy, self-determination and privacy because the image is taken indiscriminately regardless of their intention to the person entering the specific place. In this regard, it is necessary to seek ways to increase the satisfaction of crime prevention and security service and to minimize the side effects rather than the increase of CCTV indiscriminately.Furthermore, the perception of CCTV is favorable as an effective and effective way to prevent crime. CCTV by the public and private sectors is governed by the Personal Information Protection Act and the relevant rules of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security but continues to be controversial with respect to privacy freedom and the infringement of information self - determination rights. In addition, the efforts of the related organizations should be followed for the strict legal use in order to establish institutional devices to guarantee effectiveness. In this regard, the solution should be sought through the principle of proportionality in the constitution. In other words, the two benefits of protection of public interest and privacy should be considered harmoniously.
