Statute overview

About this statute

If there is no criminal liability, violations of this law are sanctioned under the relevant disciplinary regime, or otherwise under the general sanctions regime for automated processing of personal data. Resolutions made under this Law may be challenged through ordinary administrative appeals, contentious-administrative appeals, and the appeals provided in Article 53.2 of the Constitution, as legally established. This article says the law covers how security forces may use cameras to record images and sounds in public places and then process those recordings, and it sets safeguards for citizens’ fundamental rights. This article says certain image and sound capture, reproduction, processing, and preparatory activities are not treated as unlawful intrusions when done under this law. The installation of fixed video cameras needs authorization and that authorization is revocable.
