The Swedish DPA has fined the Stockholm School Board EUR 70,000 for excessive video surveillance in a school. A school had installed extensive video surveillance due to past problems with incendiary crimes. During its investigation, the DPA found that there were about 50 fixed cameras in the school monitoring hallways, stairwells and corridors in conjunction with doors, toilets and student lockers. Surveillance was taking place 24/7 with image recording. The DPA concluded that video surveillance for the purpose of preventing incendiary crimes is generally permissible, but that the area covered by the cameras must be limited to the absolute necessary areas. According to the DPA, the video surveillance in the school was too wide and not all cameras were necessary to monitor potential fire hazards.
