Chinese New Year's Eve night, in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, a couple left their wife's 80-year-old mother at the door of the debtor in order to ask for a debt. The old man sat in front of someone else's house, curled up on his hands and feet in the cold.
Someone called the police to say that there was an old lady suspected of getting lost. When the police arrived, they talked to the old lady and learned what had happened. The old lady was ashamed and reluctant to give her name. The police can only find the identity of the elderly through face recognition.
After the police sent the old man home, they did not expect that the old man's daughter and son-in-law would not only not accept it. His son-in-law also sat in a police car, prevented the police from leaving, and even scratched the police.

It's a bit of black humor! Who would have thought that this would be the end! However, in this matter, the old man's daughter and son-in-law cannot blame others, in addition to not understanding the law, they do not understand the basic human feelings.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with asking for debts, and it is natural to pay off debts. When encountering some debtors, it is normal to be angry when they have money and do not pay it back. You know, at this year's Spring Festival Gala, a special sketch was put on the scene - "Not Yet Returned", specifically to criticize Lao Lai.
However, the debt must also be carried out according to law, let alone involve the elderly in their 80s. The 80-year-old man, Chinese New Year's Eve night, when other people were reunited with their families, they were thrown by a person at the door of the person who owed his daughter a debt, freezing and shivering. Is this looking for someone to ask for a debt, or is it to punish the elderly?
Can normal people do such a thing? Once the old man has three long and two short, can the daughter and son-in-law be at ease?
Moreover, legally speaking, the elderly in their 80s have lost the ability to work and need the support of their children, who also have the obligation to support them. Once an accident occurs under the condition of freezing and starvation, the daughter who puts her in the door of others in the winter may also need to bear legal responsibility, and may even constitute a crime of inaction.
One might ask? If the debtors don't pay back the money, doesn't the police care?
I really can't care. Because normal economic disputes, such as private lending, business arrears, etc., do not involve crimes, they do not fall within the scope of the police, but the jurisdiction of the court. If the police intervene, it is instead of exceeding their authority and handling cases illegally. As early as 1995, the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Notice on Strictly Prohibiting Unauthorized Intervention in Economic Disputes", emphasizing that the police should not interfere in economic disputes beyond their authority. Since then, various localities have also issued similar notices and requirements.
For this situation, the police can only consider the safety of the elderly and send the elderly home, which is both to ensure the safety of the elderly and the normal work process. It is no longer right for the daughter and son-in-law not to accept the elderly, and it also hinders the police from leaving, and it is even more an obstacle to the police from performing their official duties.
As for the scratching and injuring of the police, they have committed the crime of attacking the police, which was newly introduced last year.
Article 277 of the Criminal Law stipulates: "Whoever violently attacks a people's policeman who is lawfully performing his duties shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance; ”
According to this provision, the crime of assault on the police belongs to the perpetrator, that is, it does not need to cause serious harmful consequences, only the act of violence is committed, and the circumstances are serious enough to harm the police, which can be constituted. If firearms and other tools are used to carry out the crime, seriously endangering the personal safety of the police, it is even more necessary to increase the punishment.
In this incident, the son-in-law of the old man simply scratched the police, which may consider the circumstances minor, and will not be considered a crime, but only a public security punishment. However, being able to scratch and injure the police shows that the degree of violence is still relatively high, which inevitably violates the criminal law.
Of course, it is simply a scratch, without causing more than minor injuries, even if it is really prosecuted for criminal responsibility in the future, it should not be too heavy, it may only be a few months, or even a month or two of detention. However, the feeling of being criminally detained on the first day of the Chinese New Year is probably also difficult for a year!
I hope that the old man's son-in-law can reflect on his own behavior, and once again remind everyone that the law enforcement authority of the police cannot be provoked!
