Recently, a closed circuit television (CCTV) video of a man in his 30s and a woman in his 20s assaulting each other in an underground shopping center in Busan circulated on the Internet and the police launched an investigation. The police explained that the act of distributing the video by a third party without their consent recorded on the video can be sanctioned as a violation of the Personal Information Protection Act.

On the 10th, an official from the Busan Police Agency said: “It is illegal to distribute a video that can identify a person without the consent of the person. In addition, a man in his 30s in the video complains of the damage caused by the broadcast of the video. ”

On the 10th, the Busan Police Agency and the North Busan Police Department organized three teams, including gangsters, to search for video distributors. The incident took place at the Deokcheon Underground Mall in Deokcheon-dong, Buk-gu, Busan on the morning of the 7th, and the video was quickly released on YouTube on the morning of the 10th.

An official from the Busan Police Agency said: “The day after the incident, the head of the administration office of the Deokcheon Underground Mall shared CCTV footage for employee training. This is not subject to punishment, “he said.” But he is subject to punishment for dissemination on social media by a third party that has nothing to do with the administration office. ”

According to the police, punishment for assault is impossible unless a man and a woman in the video sue the police. The crime of aggression is due to the fact that it is a crime against intention that cannot be prosecuted against the intention of the victim. However, the police explained that it is possible to punish the crime of injury. Since the crime of injury does not correspond to the crime of involuntary punishment, the perpetrator can be punished even if the victim withdraws the complaint by agreement.

A police official said: “The man in the video searches the Internet and voluntarily attends the Northern Police Station and is currently being investigated.” “The woman is calculating her whereabouts. He said: “If there is an assault on the body of a man and a woman, or if there is a history of medical treatment, it is possible to punish them for injuries, and this is a measure to protect both men and women.” According to the police, the man in the video showed the controversy as the video was distributed and voluntarily attended the police, stating that it was “caused by mobile phones” and recounting the details of the incident.

According to the police, the incident took place on the 7th at 1:13 am at the Deokcheon underground shopping center in Busan. Men and women in a romantic relationship fought fiercely about not showing their mobile phones. An employee of the administration office of an underground shopping center who worked at night confirmed this through CCTV images. A shocked employee is said to have turned up in the Deokcheon district and ran to the site. When he reached the place, the man had already left, and the woman who had collapsed immediately got up.

When the employee said to the woman, “I reported it to the police,” the woman said, “Okay.” Please cancel the report. “So the employee immediately called the police and canceled the report. After that , the woman left the scene and the police en route immediately returned to Earth.
