In this regard, the Ministry of Public Security attaches great importance to it and continues to organize strike-hard actions. Since September 2021, 253 related cases have been detected, 1,309 criminal suspects have been arrested, 93 dens for illegally producing special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos have been destroyed, and 134,000 special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos have been seized. During the "Hundred Days Action", the public security organs took cracking down on illegal production and sale of special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos as one of the key tasks of the "Hundred Days Action", set up special work classes, carried out special battles and cluster battles, cracked a number of cases of illegal production and sale of special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos, punished a number of criminal suspects according to law, smashed a number of illegal production and sales dens, and seized a large number of special equipment and parts for eavesdropping and stealing photos, which effectively cracked down on this kind of crime.
The public security organs will continue to crack down on the illegal production and sale of eavesdropping and stealing special equipment, resolutely safeguard social order and effectively ensure the safety of people’s home trips. The public security organ hereby reminds that the illegal production and sale of special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos is suspected of violating the law and crime, and the illegal use of special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos is prohibited by laws and regulations, and those who cause serious consequences will bear criminal responsibility according to law. Please use legal means to protect their rights and interests, do not buy, transfer or use special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos, and pay attention to personal privacy protection in work and life. If personal privacy is found to be spread by sneak shots, it is necessary to report to the police at the first time, and at the same time report to the public security organs the illegal and criminal activities of illegally producing and selling special equipment for eavesdropping and stealing photos in time to jointly safeguard good social order.
