Video surveillance device has been widely installed in public places at present. How should the right of privacy under video surveillance in public space be considered and protected effectively? There is no enough attention in the existing legislation of China, which results in a relatively conservative attitude in the judicial system of China. In fact, it is supposed to have privacy interests in public space. Privacy is not simply an absence of information about people in the minds of others. Moreover, it is the control over information about ourselves. Unlike casual glimpse by passers-by, the continuous, intentional and intensive focus of video cameras make individuals lose control of their information, which consequently leads to lose their privacy interests in public space. Thus, in order to protect personal privacy interests and defend personal justice in public space, it is necessary to regulate video surveillance in public space in legislation and judicature.%目前,在公共空间实施摄像监视已日益普遍.如何看待公共空间摄像头"注视"之下的个人隐私权并予以相应保护,中国现有的立法尚未予以足够关注,司法上亦采取较为保守的态度.事实上,个人身处公共空间,亦有其隐私利益存在.因为隐私并不仅仅是他人头脑中关于人们自身信息的某种缺失,而更多的是,人们对于自身信息的控制.摄像头长时间地有计划地有目的地注视,不同于路人偶然无意识地一瞥,它将使人们因此而丧失对自身信息的选择暴露权和控制权,从而导致个人在公共空间的某些隐私利益的丧失.鉴于此,我们认为有必要从立法上和司法上规范公共摄像监视行为,捍卫人们在公共空间中的必要隐私利益,维护人们在公共空间中的个性正义.
