Man in women's restroom at Nangang Exhibition Center sparks hidden-camera scare

Aug 22, 2026

A false alarm about a hidden camera in a women's restroom at Taipei's Nangang Exhibition Center caused panic among visitors, though police found no recording device.

  • A warning post on Threads claimed a man dressed as a woman had installed a pinhole camera in a women's restroom at the exhibition hall.
  • Police and forensic staff searched the restroom and the man and found no camera or any evidence of filming.
  • Officers stopped a 62-year-old man matching the description — red shirt and jeans — at the scene.
  • He is still being sent to the Shilin District Court under public order law for disturbing a public place by entering the women's restroom.

Outlook: The court will decide on a penalty for the public order violation, with no criminal filming charges expected.
