Hot allowed to develop public can not protect privacy

Openly selling mobile phone listening devices, so ordinary people can be purchased easily, and the proliferation of such equipment brought to the public is a heavy psychological burden

The face of the proliferation of cell phone listening devices, many mobile phone users and the public expressed concern about the hope that relevant departments pay close attention to management.

Experts called for the adoption of legislation be held criminally responsible

Investigated in recent years, many times, but each basically confiscation of equipment, criticism and education of the seller, can not further processing

Guangdong Hua Geng Shuang joint law firm, said listening equipment owned by the state exclusive control products, unauthorized use of eavesdropping equipment transactions are illegal.
