Anti-peeping: Tainan completes inspection of 130 market, night market public restrooms and fitting rooms

Tainan City officials have concluded a comprehensive inspection of public facilities aimed at preventing illegal surveillance. The city's Market Affairs and Development Bureau completed a special project to inspect 130 public and private markets, as well as night markets, focusing on public restrooms and fitting rooms.

During the "anti-peeping" initiative, authorities examined a total of 174 public restrooms and 86 fitting rooms across various market locations. The inspections, conducted in May with the cooperation of market self-governing bodies and night market management committees, found no evidence of hidden cameras or any other surveillance devices.

The inspection results found no surveillance equipment.

"The inspection results found no surveillance equipment," stated Zhang Tingyuan, Director of the Bureau of Economic Development. However, she emphasized that maintaining privacy and safety in public spaces requires ongoing effort beyond single projects. The city government will continue to supervise management units to enhance their self-inspection protocols and will conduct periodic spot checks to ensure continued security and privacy.

Lin Shiqun, acting director of the Market Affairs Office, urged the public to participate in monitoring efforts. Residents who discover suspicious equipment or unusual situations in markets or night markets are encouraged to report them to the Market Affairs Office hotline. The office has pledged to immediately investigate any such reports with the police.

Privacy and safety maintenance work cannot rely solely on one-time projects; it requires continuous implementation through daily management.
