Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen grass Luo Yuzi for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, September 18, according to CCTV News last night, there is a modified mobile phone on the market that is advertised as a "secret photo artifact" by lawbreakers, and sellers selling the phone online also say that if you want to buy, you need to bypass the platform for private contact. (CTOnews.com Note: directly search for "pinhole camera" and other key words pop up to remind consumers not to touch the legal red line).
According to reports, lawbreakers removed the front camera of the phone, modified it to the headphone Jack at the top of the phone, and installed a video recording App to turn off the screen, so that the phone could be filmed even when the phone was turned off. The seller even claimed that "it is not a question of concealment, but whether it is natural for you to hold it."
The comprehensive CCTV network reported earlier this month that these secretly photographed mobile phones on the market are basically a second mobile phone of the same brand and the same model. Online merchants said that "not all mobile phones can be changed," while the model, which usually sells for several hundred yuan, has been modified, and the asking price is as high as two or three thousand yuan.
At the beginning of this month, the people's Court of Tancheng County, Shandong Province, tried a case of producing secretly photographing equipment, in which the suspect illegally modified the front camera of his mobile phone to a location such as a headphone Jack, so that the device could be filmed secretly. In the end, two people involved in the case were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment and fined.
