President Moon Jae-in has presented his public detective system as a pledge at the time of the presidential election. It is pointed out that the illegal bill is concerned about infringement of personal information.

According to the National Assembly bill information system, 10 lawmakers including Lee Wan-young, a member of the Free Korean Democratic Party, last month launched the `Bill on Public Investigations and Public Investigations`. The public detective system is to raise private sector business by attracting private errand makers who are in the dark.

The United States, Britain, France and Japan have legalized a private detective and numerous Sherlock Homes are working. It is pointed out that the details of the personal information protection measures are insufficient if the legislation is examined despite the government is pushing for the adoption of the system.

In the actual bill, personal information is leaked and illegal acts such as illegal wiretapping are carried out indiscriminately in the errand center. "The public investigator will take necessary measures to prevent the theft, loss, It should be taken, not to reveal secrets or provide it to others."

"The contents of this bill conflict with the Personal Information Protection Act, the Credit Information Protection Act, and the Location Information Act," stated a representative from the Korea Private Information Protection Association. "The detectives from the investigation team are collecting personal information indiscriminately There is a concern.”

A government representative said, "If it works well within the framework of the Personal Information Protection Act, there will be no problem. However, if the market grows and competition intensifies, we will have to deal with personal information such as fingerprints and communication records." An information officer of the Information Human Rights Research Institute said, "There is a concern that personal information on Nam-Yong will be expanded through the detective business.” He also said, "We must have a device that allows the system to operate under the principle of personal information protection law."

However, Representative Lee Wan-young, who made the initiative of the bill, did not give a position to do so. Lee Wan-young, a representative of the office, pointed out, "Representative Lee Wan-young has been acting as a secretary for future jobs, and he has been making a proposal for the bill.

Meanwhile, academic specialists emphasize that the purpose and necessity of the system should be agreed. However, the device should be provided to minimize the role and protect the personal information properly. Lee Chang-bum, an adjunct professor at Dongguk University Police Law School, said, "If the system is applied only to malicious people, it is desirable for social justification, but the personal information of the suspect`s friends and family is likely to be collected through the tracking process. If we leave only Joe`s interpretation, a clear standard should be given first, such as developing personal information guidelines for private contracts as dangerous situations above the water level can occur."
