Legal responsibility for candid camera shooting?

Detention for five to ten days and a fine of not more than 500 yuan.

According to Item 6 of Article 42 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment, anyone who peeks, takes candid photos, eavesdrops or spreads others' privacy shall be detained for less than five days or fined less than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may also be fined not more than 500 yuan. When specifically determining whether the act of stealing pictures and records violates the right to privacy, we should examine this act from the following aspects:

1. Investigate whether the lawful rights and interests of others are harmed when taking pictures or stealing records;

2. Investigate whether it violated the prohibitive provisions of the law when taking candid photos, such as using illegal means such as violence, coercion and deception;

3. Investigate whether the candid camera records violate social morality.
