New Taipei clerk filmed people, faces privacy charges

A court clerk in New Taipei City has been indicted for secretly filming individuals in various locations within the courthouse for at least two years. The indictment follows the discovery of hidden cameras in January. The clerk, a member of the investigation and protection office, used hidden cameras in offices, restrooms, and break rooms to record victims. The court immediately suspended and later terminated the clerk after the discovery. Prosecutors are seeking a heavier sentence due to the clerk's long-term actions, the number of victims, and the lack of compensation. The case has caused public outrage and led to calls for stricter security measures.
