近年來,監視器被廣泛地運用到治安維護的工作上,公共場所隨處可見到監視器的設置。然而,將監視器用來維護治安的同時,亦可能造成人權侵害的隱憂。因此,如何從規範上加以規制,以防止其濫用,已成為當前的一大課題。本文的研究範圍係針對警察運用監視器的情形,因此在進入監視器主題的討論之前,本文亦將先以相當的篇幅來介紹警察法上的一些傳統爭議問題。而關於監視器運用的憲法爭議,本文認為監視器的運用,即便只是最輕微的單純影像觀看行為,亦構成基本權的侵害。其主要侵害了資訊自主權、資訊隱私權、公共隱私權及行為自由等利益。而在法制建構的管控部分,則以個人資訊保護的概念為基礎,依序就影像資訊的蒐集、保管與利用等階段,提出理想的限制要件,再回過頭來檢討現行警察職權行使法對警察運用監視器相關規定的良窳。除了指出現行規定的缺失外,並將對日後的修法提出具體的建議。
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) has been used more and more common to safeguard the public security in recent years so that you can see it everywhere in the public sphere.

Part Ⅱ deals with some typical issues in police law which can probably affect CCTV’s use on some level. Part Ⅲ then goes on to explore some constitution issues caused by the use of CCTV. Part Ⅳ sets up CCTV regulations from data protection principles and then goes back to refine the current Police duties enforcement act.
