Why are immigration and emigration restricted in the DPRK?

I'm trying to learn more about the DPRK. I realize that many things said about it are exaggerated, myths, or completely false.
So, why does the DPRK let almost nobody immigrate? What restrictions are placed on citizens who want to leave?

I've also heard claims that people attempting to leave the DPRK without authorization may be shot by border guards. How accurate is that claim?

I am not trying to ask this in an offensive or hostile way. I am genuinely curious about learning the subject from an objective point of view.

Definitely don’t do this

Definitely do not visit deflock.org that has an open-sources map, the location of flock cameras and their field of view near you.

The cameras and solar panels are almost impossible to uninstall/tamper with due to the single 8mm socket they're clamped on with.

Do not spray the lens with spray paint, bedliner, or something similar on the cameras lens, especially not with a spray can extension pole.

Do not print vinyl stickers that look like the solar panels to cover the actual solar panels that charge the cameras.

Do not put a black plastic bag over the camera and/or solar panel either, because all that does is cost the company time and money.

Also, never point a high-powered laser at the cameras lens because that would permanently blind, pit, or burn the cameras sensors.

These cameras have ~12 hour backup battery, that transmit Bluetooth and 5G used to locate the cameras exact location, the same way your phone does. So under no circumstance put them inside a Faraday bag, that would block the signal while the battery runs itself out.

It would be pointless to inform your community by posting information online or by putting up flyers or signs next to these cameras. Especially not pointing out that there is a (Flock "Safety" Camera) that is capturing and analyzing images of all passing vehicles, storing details like the vehicles location, date, and time. They also capture the vehicles make, model, color, as well as identifying features such as dents, scratches roof racks, and decal/bumper stickers.

Flock cameras are only automated license plate readers (ALPR's). They would never misuse any of the data collected for local officers conducting unauthorized searches for federal immigration enforcement (ICE), searching for individuals who sought out-of-state reproductive healthcare, or police targeting specific activist and minority groups.

How would they be a serious risk to your privacy and civil liberties by continuously recording your movements without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion..

Especially not an infrastructure for mass surveilance or a gateway to violate your Fourth Amendment right.

There's absolutely no reason to plan routes that avoid Flock and other ALPR cameras by visiting dontgetflocked.com or the app FlockHopper.

Just leave flock cameras alone

Do we have any idea as to what these symbols/drawings on folio 1r are?

Also, are there any theories as to what folio 1r acted as? A foreword? Did that concept even exist in the 1400s?
