Kameraövervakning
En juridisk analys
Camera surveillance can provide good protection against certain types of crime, but it can also invade our privacy. The County Administrative Board monitors compliance with the rules by visiting those places to which the general public has access. They have to issue permits before general camera surveillance to those places which the general public has access. In certain cases, in stores for example, general camera surveillance is permitted only if the Country Administrative Board is notified in advance. The Data Inspection Board is a public authority and responsible for the camera surveillance for those places to which the public not has access. You do not require a permit to monitor enclosed areas within a company, industrial processes, rooms in a home, schools etc. The deciding factor is whether or not the general public has access. In new cases from the Data Inspection Board exclusive demanded that seven schools change their use of surveillance cameras in a decision. The authority hopes to set a precedent for schools across the country. The task for the Country Administrative Boards and the Data Inspection Board is to protect the individual's privacy in the information society without unnecessarily preventing or complicating the use of new technology.
