SINGAPORE, Aug 8 — A couple was arrested after they allegedly made video recordings of a police station along New Bridge Road and posted them on social media.
In a press statement yesterday (August 7), the police said they have arrested a 41-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman who are believed to have committed the offence, after receiving a police report on Friday.
The man was charged on Saturday with making a video recording of a protected area without the permission of the authority, which allegedly took place on August 1.
The woman will receive two charges today for offences that allegedly took place on July 13 and August 1.
If convicted, they may be jailed for up to two years, fined up to S$20,000 (RM67,991), or both.
“As a police station is declared a protected area under the Infrastructure Protection Act 2017, it is an offence to take photographs, make any film or video recording of a police station without the permission of the authority of that protected area,” said the police. ― TODAY
