A DAVAO City Councilor clarified that the Amended Closed Circuit Television Ordinance aligns with Republic Act No. 4200, the Anti-Wiretapping Act of 1965.Luna Maria Dominique Acosta, first district councilor, said in a radio interview on Davao City Disaster Radio on Monday morning, May 13, 2024, that the ordinance doesn't violate the Anti-Wiretapping Act as long as establishments visibly display signage indicating CCTV surveillance.
She explained that once people see the CCTV cameras, they should understand that privacy expectations change; unlike wiretapping, where parties believe they're having a private conversation but are secretly recorded without consent.Acosta added that as long as the public is well-informed of the CCTV system and the CCTV is in a conspicuous place inside and outside the establishment, it would not be considered disturbing one's privacy.
