Jinan taxi installed some camera passengers said to be suspicious

In order to standardize taxi operations and upgrade taxi service levels, according to the relevant requirements of the Ministry of Communications, the Jinan City Transportation Bureau recently selected 15 brands of 14 companies from among 38 taxi companies in the city. "Big Brother" and "Sister" create "City Spring Taxi" municipal brand car team. The number of vehicles in the first batch of brand vehicles is 150 vehicles. Each vehicle in the vehicle fleet has a smart roof system with a uniform logo, camera, microphone, danger alarm device, and GPS navigation device. In addition to cash, passengers can also pay by swiping cards such as bus cards, bank cards, etc. Up to now, more than 50 vehicles that have been installed on the road are being debugged, and the remaining vehicles will be installed at the end of the month.

Some of the passengers reported that when they were riding in the "Quancheng Taxi", the camera was installed at an obliquely upper position in the taxi. There was a sense of being monitored and it felt uncomfortable.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Jinan City Public Passenger Transport Service Center, the camera mounted on the taxi will not record the entire process of passengers riding on the vehicle, but will adopt a photographing method. When passengers get on the train, they will take a picture. Take a picture off the bus, the driver can not control the camera to take pictures of passengers.

Only when the driver is in danger, has a dispute with the passenger, or finds wanted criminals or suspects, in order to preserve the on-site evidence, the driver can press the button on the left side of the cab to turn the camera from a photograph to a video. The microphone also turns on the recording function and is networked with the 110 to report the emergency to the 110 alarm platform. At the same time, the smart dome light displays the SOS distress signal. Whether it is photos, video or audio recordings, the services uploaded to the Jinan City Public Passenger Transport Service Center will be kept in the background and deleted regularly, and will not flow into other channels. Only when the public prosecutor's law department needs to provide relevant evidence for handling cases, can relevant documents be extracted at the service background as required.

Some members of the public believe that this may infringe on their privacy and that there is a risk of being photographed. Some citizens think that adding a camera to a taxi can help retrieve items that were lost in the car...

The need to improve service levels

To build a “Spring City Taxi” convoy, it is necessary to enhance the level of service in all aspects. The installation of cameras is for the safety of drivers, the resolution of disputes between drivers and passengers, and the provision of more thoughtful and attentive services for passengers. The measures we take can ensure the safety of the shooting data. Passengers do not have to worry about it.

Yu Chao, Deputy Director of Jinan City Public Passenger Transport Service Center

Is a deterrent to criminals

The taxi industry is a high-risk industry. Taxi drivers driving at night are more vulnerable to accidental injuries. Installing a camera in a taxi is an intangible deterrent to criminals, which is conducive to protecting the safety of the driver's personal and property. Even if there is a robbery, the camera data can provide clues and evidence for the public security agency to solve the case.

Help correct bad passenger behavior

Taxi installation of cameras is not only conducive to regulating the behavior of drivers, supervising and improving service levels, but also correcting some bad behaviors of passengers. For example, some passengers ignore the driver's presence in the taxi and do something inappropriate. This is a disrespect to us.

Public space will not invade privacy

Whether the infringement of citizens’ right to privacy or not is a key issue in determining whether or not the interior space is a public place. Although the interior space has a certain degree of closure, the scene posed by drivers and passengers is still a stranger environment. In particular, a taxi can allow anyone to ride freely. It is a relatively open public space.

Therefore, merely installing a camera in a taxi does not constitute an infringement of citizens’ right to privacy. Taxi as a public place should be included in the scope of public safety supervision. However, if a taxi company leaks personal information to others, it should be punished by law.

Inside the car should be posted

The original intention of installing a camera in a taxi is good, but some personal measures should be taken to reduce the passengers' psychological burden. If there is a warning in the taxi, there is a “prompt for a camera in the car” to prevent passengers from being guilty of ignorance.
