中英对照:防止犯罪 中区唐人街需要更多和更先进的视频监控系统

To prevent crimes, downtown Chinatown needs more upgraded video surveillance systems

像任何美国大城市一样,多伦多市也有许多暴力犯罪和入门盗窃事件。位于市中心的多伦多中区唐人街也时有发生这类案件。最近在中区唐人街发生的枪击事件让人们更加小心,消费者在餐馆和商店办完事后赶紧离开唐人街。
 
Like any big American city, the City of Toronto has many violent crimes and break-ins as well. Chinatown is located in the Downtown core and has its share of these criminal activities. A recent shooting there heightens the awareness of such incidents and causes customers to hasten their departures from visits to restaurants and shops once their mission is accomplished.

监控摄像和录像可以帮助警方破案。可悲的是,许多唐人街的商家仍在使用分辨率非常低的磁带录像机 (VCR) ,而不是最先进的数字视频录像机 (DVR)。警方早些时候曾尝试在 Dundas Street 夹 Spadina Avenue 的十字路口安装监控摄像头,但由于唐人街的一个社会活动组织的反对,此事不了了之。
 
Surveillance cameras and captured footage can help the police to identify criminals at the crime scenes. Sadly, many of the Chinatown businesses are still running old cameras off their Video Camera Recorders (VCR's) with very low resolutions instead of the state of the art Digital Video Recorders (DVR's). An earlier attempt by the police to install surveillance cameras at the Dundas Street and Spadina Avenue intersection was squashed when a local advocacy group mustered enough support to block its implementation.



唐人街没有足够的监控摄像头,至少警方认定的经常会出事的地方没有。部分原因是唐人街的许多商家都是小本经营,监控摄像头及其安装费用很贵。除此之外,许多商家认为隐私法的规定太繁琐。这两个因素是安装和运行监控摄像头的主要障碍。监控摄像头有两个功能——既可以威慑犯罪分子,也可以作为犯罪识别工具,有助于警方破获暴力犯罪和入门偷盗案件。
 
Chinatown does not have enough surveillance cameras, at least not at many of the crime “hotspots” identified by the police. Part of the reason is obvious – surveillance cameras and their installations are expensive for many of the small businesses. In addition to that, many business owners feel uncomfortable with the requirement of the Privacy Act. These two factors are major obstacles toward getting surveillance cameras installed and operational. Surveillance cameras have two functions – both as a deterrent for criminal activities and a criminal identifying tool to help the police solve any break-ins or assaults when they take place in the proximity of the surveillance system.
 
2008年3月,加拿大隐私专员办公室发布了《私营部门视频监控公共场所指南》。 2015 年 10 月,安大略省信息和隐私专员发布了“视频监控使用指南”。 2016 年 11 月,这位一位专员发布了另一份文件,“视频监控技术真相”。这些文件成了今天视频监控系统安装规定的蓝本。
 
In March 2008, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada issued the “Guidelines for overt video surveillance systems in the private sector”. In October 2015, the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario published the “Guidelines for the use of Video Surveillance”. In November 2016, the same commissioner published another item named - “Technology Fact Sheet – Video Surveillance”. All of these form the basis for privacy compliance requirements for today's surveillance systems.
 
在计划安装视频监控系统时,你必须考虑以下几点:
 
When planning for the use of video surveillance, one must consider the following:

 
除了安装监控系统外,你有没有其他选择?你要确定使用视频监控纯属商业原因,制定视频监控使用政策,尽可能限制镜头的监控范围,要贴告示,提醒公众所在的地方正在进行视频监控。所录的视频要安全保存,且只有专人才能看所录的视频,并定期销毁那些不需要保存的视频。
 
Are there any alternatives? Identify the business reason for use of video surveillance and focus on that purpose. Develop a policy for the use of video surveillance. Limit the use and range of the cameras as much as possible. Inform the public that video surveillance is taking place – typically using signage that is easily understood. Store any recorded images in a secure location, with limited access and destroy them when they are not longer required.
 
回答公众提出的视频监控问题。允许有人要求看自己被监控而录下的视频。对摄像头操作员进行保护隐私的培训。定期审查视频监控是否还有必要。
 
Furthermore, be prepared to answer questions from the public on video surveillance. Give individuals access to information about themselves – including video images. Educate camera operators on the obligation to protect the privacy of individuals. Perform periodic review on the need for video surveillance.
 
使用视频监控的规定都有哪些呢?它们包括:你必须阐明监视系统的基本理由和目的。你必须确定监控的地点和区域。你必须阐明是对哪些东西监控,例如声音、图像清晰程度、是否带面部识别和夜视功能。明确谁有权操作系统,哪些人有权查看录下的内容。
 
What is needed in a policy for the use of video surveillance then? It must set out the rationale and purpose of the surveillance system. It should identify the location and field of vision of the equipment. It must specify the specific capacity of the system such as sound, zoom, facial recognition, and night vision features. Identify the personnel authorized to operate the system and access the information it contains.

 
同样重要的是,你必须明确监控生效的时间以及是否会记录图像。你要制定如何管理录得的内容,包括确保内容不被盗窃、内容的使用、披露和保存。创建安全处理内容的程序。明确如果内容被盗后应遵循的处理程序。明确对未能遵守政策的员工和承包商的制裁措施。确定专人负责隐私的问题。
 
Just as important, the policy must show the times that the surveillance will be in effect and whether images will be recorded. Develop guidelines for the managing of recordings, including security, use, disclosure and retention. Create procedures for the secure disposal of recordings. Show the procedure to follow when dealing with unauthorized disclosure of images. Include sanctions to employees and contractors for failing to adhere to policy. 
 
多伦多华埠商业促进会已经成立了一个专门委员会,以帮助商家遵守这些规定,并以经销商的价格帮助商家选择和购买所需的监控设备。对商家的培训和如何设监控告示也会很快进行。我将在下一篇文章中介绍细节。
 
The Chinatown Business Improvement Area (CBIA) Organization has established a special committee to help its members to overcome these regulations and to select and purchase proper surveillance equipment at dealer's pricing. Training and signage will also be provided under a special project to begin very shortly. We will elaborate further on the details of this program next time.
