The Chinese city of Shenzhen is considering a law to regulate the installation of surveillance cameras in public spaces, South China Morning Post reports. The legislation lists the different areas where surveillance cameras would be permitted. Places such as airports, subway stations and banks are considered “important public spaces and facilities that involve public safety,” while spaces such as hospital wards and fitting rooms are considered spots where a camera "could breach the privacy of citizens.”
