Peru. Public transport vehicles, parks, hospitals, shopping centers and other public property must install mandatory video surveillance cameras by order of the Executive Power.
Through a legislative decree, published a few days ago, it is established that these cameras must be interconnected with the video surveillance platforms of Local and Regional Governments, as well as the National Center for Video Surveillance and Radio Communication and Telecommunications for Citizen Security of the Ministry of the Interior.
Similarly, it is provided that videos or audios containing "reasonable indications of the commission of a crime or misdemeanor" are immediately delivered to the National Police or Public Prosecutor's Office. This measure governs natural or legal persons, private or public, owners or possessors of this equipment.
It should be noted that these cameras will not be able to capture or record images, videos or audios of spaces that violate the privacy or intimacy of people.
The regulation states that the public domain assets that must have video surveillance cameras are beaches, squares, parks, road infrastructure, railways, roads, government and institutional headquarters, schools, hospitals, stadiums, assets affected in use for national defense, prisons, cultural spaces, cemeteries, ports, airports and others.
Also shopping centers, department stores, financial institutions, educational or cultural institutions, higher institutes, universities, health establishments, among others.
Similarly, public passenger transport does not escape this obligation, since those who provide this service must also install video surveillance cameras in their units.
The regulation of this standard will be issued within 90 days to determine the technical standards on the installation of these cameras.
