Uiwang City Conducts Special Inspection on Illegal Hidden Cameras in Public Restrooms

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 5th that it conducted a special inspection of public restrooms in the city last month to alleviate concerns caused by illegal hidden cameras in restroom surveillance.

From the 13th to the 30th of last month, the city conducted precision inspections using lens and radio frequency detection equipment on 36 public restrooms and 10 open restrooms in areas including traditional markets, parks, and tourist attractions that are frequently used by the public.

According to the inspection results, no illegal hidden cameras were found installed in any of the 46 restrooms checked.

The city attached promotional stickers labeled 'Women Safety Restroom and Hidden Camera Inspection Zone' and replaced damaged stickers discovered during the inspection.

Bang Kyung-mi, director of the city's sanitation department, said, "We plan to continue conducting regular inspections and attaching promotional stickers in inspection zones to raise public awareness."

The city also stated that it is reviewing plans to provide inspection equipment and support for inspecting restrooms installed in private facilities, not public facilities, when requested to check for illegal hidden cameras.
