Question 39745 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Alain Perea draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the necessary modernization and updating of the decree of August 3, 2007 defining the technical standards for video surveillance systems as well as certain provisions relating to the declaration and authorization procedure defined by Decree No. 2015-489. In fact, a growing number of communities are deploying a video surveillance system, particularly within rural communities. Innovation in this sector now allows these municipalities to deploy new technologies more adapted to their needs and more responsive, for example the “nomadic camera” device. However, the inadequacy of the regulatory texts written before the appearance of these technologies makes the use and deployment of the latter often complex in a legal framework subject to fluctuating interpretations. function of the prefectural authorities and the departmental video protection commissions. This is for example the case of the notion of “video protection perimeter”, which consists of defining a surveillance zone without specifying the exact location of the camera. The use of this concept, more flexible and allowing reactive adaptation of the system, is authorized in certain departments but refused in others which require, at least On the contrary, a predefined location of the camera. This is also the case for “image trap” type devices which are not covered by current regulations and are subject to different assessments between departments. These territorial differences in the assessment of the legal standard by the commissions are also coupled with a large difference in the processing times for requests from one department to the other. Regularly, these deadlines are much longer than the 4-month deadline set out in article R. 252-9 of the public security code. Better responsiveness of the system through the introduction of the principle of “silence equals authorization” would also seem to be a relevant modification. Also, he asks him if, in addition to the latest laws relating to global security currently being examined by Parliament, an adaptation of the regulatory measures in this area are being considered.
