The reporter went to his repair store to check the scene and found that as soon as the electric gate of the repair store was broken, the camera on the capture pole stopped flashing; after the electric gate was closed, as soon as a vehicle passed by, the camera started flashing again.
After the media intervention, the Public Security Bureau helped the reporter contact the repair unit of the capture camera, to determine that the camera did steal the electricity of the repair store. The maintenance staff said they would remove the cable and promised to settle the electricity bill that had been stolen for four or five years. However, the maintenance staff still did not give an answer as to who would pay for this electricity bill.
On social media, some netizens angrily pointed out, “This is theft, but no one filed a case, no one cares!” Other netizens ridiculed, “Do you give commission for the fines collected for taking pictures?”
When reporting on the incident, some mainland media avoided the topic of surveillance cameras, admitting only that many of the traffic lights on the road were “black”, some connected to street light circuits and others to nearby businesses.
The Wall Street Journal has cited a report that by 2021, there will be more than 500 million surveillance cameras in mainland China. The Epoch Times recently cited an expert’s analysis that the Communist Party’s massive surveillance projects consume huge amounts of electricity, which may also be one of the main reasons for China’s current power shortage.
