\u2019n Fietsryer wat deur die gemeenskap daarvan verdink word dat hy die berugte BMX-selfoongrypdief in Vredenburg is, se foto word op sosiale media versprei. Dit is maar \u2019n enkele voorbeeld waar gemeenskapslede geregverdig voel om dit te doen in \u2019n poging om \u2019n moontlike skelm vas te trap, in hegtenis te laat neem en te vervolg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Langebaan-polisie waarsku egter dat dit onwettig is om foto\u2019s en\/of videomateriaal van gesoekte mense of iemand wat vermoedelik \u2019n misdaad gepleeg het, te versprei. Die plaaslike polisie s\u00ea in \u2019n persverklaring dit word \u201cmet kommer\u201d opgemerk dat hierdie soort materiaal wyd versprei word. Hulle versoek dat lede van die publiek hulle daarvan weerhou om sulke foto\u2019s of videomateriaal te sirkuleer aangesien dit ondersoeke ernstig kan belemmer, die verhoor onbillik kan maak en tot vryspraak of terugtrekking van die saak kan lei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Crime Watch neem lede van buurtwagte, sekuriteitsmaatskappye sowel as gemeenskapspolisi\u00ebringsforums dikwels foto\u2019s van verdagtes op misdaadtonele, wat jy mag doen, maar die oomblik as jy die foto aan iemand anders stuur of dit op sosiale media-platforms plaas, word dit as \u201cgepubliseer\u201d beskou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit kan die plaser en mense wat dit aanstuur hewige boetes, tot 12 maande gevangenisstraf of \u2019n massiewe siviele geding op die hals haal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn gevalle waar die persoon wat gearresteer is onskuldig is, maar as gevolg van die gepubliseerde foto as \u2019n misdadiger uitgebeeld word, het die gemeenskap eie reg gebruik, wat tot vigilante-optredes kan lei. Wanneer so \u2019n foto gepubliseer word, kan die plaser hom- of haarself ook aan die ontvangkant van \u2019n lastergeding laat beland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artikel 69 van die Wet op die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens 68 van 1995, soos gewysig in 1997, bepaal onder meer dat niemand sonder die skriftelike toestemming van die nasionale of provinsiale kommissaris \u2019n foto of skets van iemand wat daarvan verdink word dat hy \u2019n misdryf gepleeg het, mag publiseer nie. Volgens Artikel 35(3) van die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika, 1996, het \u201celke beskuldigde die reg op \u2019n regverdige verhoor\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die publikasie of sirkulasie van sulke foto\u2019s en videomateriaal is dus onwettig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n The Conversation <\/i>verduidelik in \u2019n artikel dit is \u2019n strafregtelike oortreding van die Strafproseswet om beweerde oortreders te identifiseer voordat hulle gepleit het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs die persoon wat onregmatig ge\u00efdentifiseer is jonger as 18 jaar is, kan die tronkstraf tot vyf jaar wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Langebaan-polisie doen dus \u2019n beroep om samewerking van die publiek, veral die bystand en samewerking van die \u201cadmins\u201d op sosiale mediagroepe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Weslander<\/span>-leser, Andries Brand, skryf op Facebook dat dit die rede is waarom die misdadigers \u201cso lekker lewe, want hulle word wetlik beskerm\u201d. Adri K\u00f6ltzow Lategan vra weer hoe hulle dan anders gevang gaan word \u201cas \u2019n mens nie hul foto\u2019s of video van hulle op Facebook of waar ook al mag share<\/i> nie\u201d? Ene Williams Repairs meen dat die wette die oortreders beskerm en die slagoffer van misdaad word misken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy meen dit is waarom mense deelneem aan \u201cbundu justice<\/span>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mense met inligting oor misdaad wat gepleeg word of reeds gepleeg is, insluitend foto\u2019s en videomateriaal van mense wat moontlik by die pleeg van die misdade betrokke is, word versoek om hul naaste polisiekantoor te kontak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u2019n Fietsryer wat deur die gemeenskap daarvan verdink word dat hy die berugte BMX-selfoongrypdief in Vredenburg is, se foto word op sosiale media versprei.
