Aden Authorities Warn Against Unauthorized Sharing of Surveillance Footage

Security Warning Issued by Aden’s Temporary Capital Police

The Aden Temporary Capital Police Department has released a crucial directive aimed at shop owners, surveillance camera operators, activists, and journalists. This warning explicitly prohibits the unauthorized sharing or circulation of surveillance footage on social media platforms. Such actions are believed to significantly disrupt the operations of security agencies and impede their efforts to apprehend criminals.

Regulations on Accessing Surveillance Footage

The police department has underscored that surveillance recordings are sensitive and critical to public safety. Access, sharing, or publication of this footage is restricted solely to authorized security personnel. The relevant local security agency holds the exclusive authority to determine who may access these recordings. No individual or entity is permitted to obtain access without an official memorandum issued by the Aden Security Department or the Criminal Investigation Department.

Additionally, the department has prohibited the transfer or duplication of any recordings without official guidance. It is imperative that the owner of the surveillance camera receives a certified copy of the memorandum and is allowed to view the original recording for verification purposes.

Legal Consequences for Violations

The directive imposes a strict ban on publishing any clips or footage without official consent, regardless of the rationale behind such actions. Violators may face legal repercussions, including imprisonment, in accordance with existing regulations. The directive emphasizes the necessity of adhering to these guidelines to protect public security.

In light of these regulations, the Aden Security Department calls upon all citizens, including activists and journalists, to uphold their national responsibilities by refraining from circulating unauthorized materials. Supporting the endeavors of security agencies is paramount, as sharing content that could obstruct their work poses a risk to the safety and stability of the city.
