The Kingdom’s Law of the Use of Security Surveillance Cameras stipulates that those who break its rules would face severe punishment, the Ministry of Interior stressed. Anyone found guilty of illegally transferring or publishing recordings, or of damaging or destroying surveillance equipment or recordings, faces a maximum sentence of SR20,000.
Any anyone who violates the technical requirements for any security surveillance camera or device shall be fined SR 500. Each security surveillance camera or device that is not placed in accordance with the requirements specified in the Request for Proposal (RFP) will be subject to a punishment of SR1,000. Failing to keep records might result in fines of up to SR5,000.
Private residential units and complexes are exempt from the Law on the Use of Security Surveillance Cameras, which went into force on October 3, 2022.
According to the law, security surveillance camera recordings cannot be transferred or published unless authorized by the Ministry of Interior or the Presidency of State Security, or if a court order or the appropriate investigative body requests it.
The legislation requires that recordings be kept until the conclusion of the inquiry process, guaranteeing that they are not changed in the case that a report on a particular incident is made. Upon request, the recordings must be turned over to the Presidency of State Security or the Ministry of Interior.
