Article 42 of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Public Security Administration Punishment Law stipulates that:

One of the following acts shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than five hundred yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for more than five days and less than ten days, and may be fined up to five hundred yuan:

(1) writing threatening letters or threatening the personal safety of others by other means;

(2) publicly insulting others or fabricating facts to slander others;

(3) fabricating facts, falsely accusing and framing others, and attempting to subject others to criminal investigation or public security administration punishment;

(4) Threatening, insulting, beating or retaliating against witnesses and their close relatives;

(5) sending obscene, insulting, intimidating or other information for many times to interfere with the normal life of others;

(six) voyeurism, sneak shots, eavesdropping, spreading the privacy of others.

If the public sneak shot involves infringement, the victim may file a civil lawsuit:

On various websites and clients, there are not a few people who publish candid videos and photos in the name of street shooting. Most of the protagonists in candid shots are young women, and the shooting focuses on the sensitive parts of women. Most comments contain sexual hints. Because most of the shooting locations are located in public places such as subways and streets, many people who are photographed are not sure whether the other party's sneak shots are illegal, so they often fall into the dilemma of safeguarding rights.

Stealing photos of others in public places and posting them on the Internet has been suspected of infringing on the right to portrait of others; If it is accompanied by insulting words, it is also suspected of infringing on the reputation of others. The victim can file a civil lawsuit according to law, asking the publisher to delete the photos, apologize, and even compensate for economic losses. If the network platform fails to fulfill its censorship obligations or is not deleted in time, it also needs to bear joint and several liability.

After the victim encounters the photographer, if he thinks that the other party's behavior has involved a criminal offence, he can report the case to the public security organ. If it does not constitute a criminal offence, you can choose civil litigation to safeguard your rights and interests. She suggested that victims can keep the infringing content and information on the Internet through notarization before prosecution, so as to avoid losing evidence because the other party deletes it or is personally visible.
