Abstract:Covert videotaping, a manifestation of such three rights as the right to know, the supervision of public opinion, the freedom of the press, is the embodiment of individual freedom value, and to some extent, it includes the demands of the public interest. Although covert videotaping is legitimate to a certain extent, it is likely to lead to conflicts of rights by violating citizens' privacy. Covert videotaping would probably induce right conflicts in Constitution, administrative laws, criminal laws and civil laws. Although the relevant laws of our country have set some rules and regulations to regulate covert videotaping, the regulation is modest, and our country does not have prohibitive laws to govern covert videotaping. Therefore, it is suggested that the constitutional principle should serve as the guide for all the legal norms, and superiority should be given to the Constitution for the overall coordination of the various departments. Meanwhile, we should seek constitutional interpretation so as to resolve the conflicts of rights triggered by covert videotaping.
