Preface
On this highway, where traffic flows, everything suddenly reverses - a "domineering" police car, bursting out, shows its crazy "violent" side to an innocent car owner! The ferocity of the abnormal beast is terrifying! And the side that is "bullied" is by no means a master to be bullied. Next, let's explore the cause of the madness of the incident and start this ultimate discussion of power!
01. What happened
An ordinary private car moves smoothly in the traffic, and the music flows gently in the car. The owner of the car did not notice at all that a police car marked with a public security sign behind him had gradually approached. The sound of its horn was drowned out by the sound waves, and the driver was unaware.
At this moment, the police car suddenly accelerated, trying to overtake the private car from the left side! The driver was startled and quickly cheered up. But the movement of the police car was too abrupt, and he had to keep the original line.
Who knew that the police car actually began to change lines and squeeze, intending to forcibly merge in! Private car owners wondered, why was this particular vehicle so hasty? There are no obstacles ahead, why are you so arrogant?
Just when the two sides were facing each other, the police car cut in quickly again, and the siren was excited! The private car was forced to squeeze all the way to the emergency lane and finally stopped to a shrill whistle.
Then the thrilling scene suddenly staged - two plainclothes men rushed out of the police car, one of them was athletic, and he found out a document, it was a plainclothes policeman! He strode to the window of his private car, and without saying a word, he reached out and knocked on the glass, his face full of solemnity.
"Don't you know how to give way when you encounter a vehicle? Hurry up and show your driver's license and ID card!"
The private car owner was taken aback by this aggressive tone, and responded hesitantly: "I... I really didn't see your car...""Now show me immediately, this is the first warning!" The other party's face became more and more ugly, and he interrupted the other party's explanation impatiently.
02. Preliminary official investigation and response
Just when everyone was in an uproar, a voice from the Jingzhou public security gradually came out. They said that after preliminary verification, the police car was indeed from their Songzi City Public Security Bureau, and the two men in plainclothes who were sloppy in clothes turned out to be their local police in Songzi!
The news sparked a new round of uproar online. It turned out that the incident was out of Jingzhou, and the person concerned was really a grassroots policeman, so this matter is interesting.
Soon, the Jingzhou Public Security issued a statement on the official platform, saying that it would seriously verify the matter. They vowed that whether it was for official duty or abuse of private power, they would definitely investigate to the end and give everyone a satisfactory explanation.
This is not a scaring scene. That same night, a person familiar with the matter said that the Songzi City Public Security Bureau had quickly launched an internal investigation process. They have preliminarily identified the two policemen and instructed a special person to fully verify what happened that day.
But at this moment, the official gave everyone a surprise news - they hinted that they did not seem to show the whole picture of the whole incident! Does this mean that perhaps the official will give a "turnaround" result?
Coincidentally, at the same time, someone complained to the supervision department of the Songzi police in real name about the matter, demanding a thorough investigation in accordance with the law. According to a source from the supervisory department, as long as the complainant submits sufficient evidence, they will supervise the fairness of the investigation throughout the process. The collision of two powerful forces makes this already bizarre event more and more confusing, and people are looking forward to what kind of twists and turns will be staged next!
03. Questioning of the whole incident
Plainclothes combined with the practice of forcing vehicles to stop on high-risk roads and checking documents that have nothing to do with their own authority give people the impression of unprofessional and overly casual law enforcement, which will naturally arouse public doubts!
One question is the compliance of plainclothes enforcement. In the video, we see that the two men who got out of the police car were dressed in plainclothes at the beginning and were not wearing uniforms. According to the regulations, the police should wear uniforms when enforcing the law on official duties, not only to identify themselves, but also to respect the work of law enforcement. Plainclothes law enforcement tends to give people a sense of casualness, and it also makes it difficult for the public to identify whether it is a regular law enforcement practice.
Another question focused on whether there are safety hazards in forcing vehicles to stop on highways. Highways are roads where traffic is fast, and any temporary stop can lead to serious traffic accidents such as rear-end collisions. In the video, it can be seen that the police car is blaring its horn while blocking the private car from the front and back, left and right, and finally forcing the private car to stop, which undoubtedly has a certain risk on the highway and also violates the norms of high-speed driving.
The third question is the authority of the police to ask for a driver's license and a driving license during a raid. Generally speaking, ID cards can be viewed by the police, but the inspection of driver's licenses and driving licenses should be enforced by the traffic police. From the point of view of the division of duties, it is debatable whether the two plainclothes police officers exceeded their authority.
04. Lawyer's interpretation
Just as this incident was getting tangled up, a familiar figure flashed into the arena - that is, the ace lawyer who used to shuttle between the courts.
He pointed out that the police car wanted to forcibly overtake and ask for yield without sounding the siren, which was already a violation of the regulations. "The law clearly stipulates that police cars must first pull up the siren of the 'identification mark' before asking other vehicles to yield to the road. However, in the video footage, the police car is not seen taking this step first. "
As for the identities of the two plainclothes men, lawyers questioned their law enforcement compliance. "Law enforcement officers should wear uniforms throughout the investigation, which is not only conducive to showing a professional image, but also a clear requirement of the law. The two were dressed sloppily, which may have violated the relevant regulations. "
What's more, the lawyer pointed out that the practice of forcing vehicles to stop on the highway also has major safety risks. "This highway has a large traffic flow and fast speed, so I hurriedly forced him to stop his car, what if the car behind is too late to react? This in itself is already a dangerous driving behavior. "
As for the legal responsibilities that both parties may face in this incident, the lawyer made a clear analysis: "If the two plainclothes personnel are found to have indeed exceeded their authority and violated the law, they will at least be severely warned, and in serious cases, they may lose their jobs and be demoted from their posts."
05. Social concern and discussion
This incident, which has been dubbed "Highway Rush", seems to have raised society's worries about the operation of public power and placed it in a huge mirror.
As soon as the sound of doubt sounded, it was like pushing open the floodgates of sound and rolling in. The spearhead was pointed at the man-like police officer, and strong doubts were expressed about whether his aggressive and pretentious "road rage" behavior constituted an abuse of power. As a public servant, but in such a roaring appearance, how can it not be questioned?
Some people have even cast a sharp eye on a higher proposition - is the power of the law enforcers in their hands subject to strict checks and balances? I saw a netizen generously stated: "Power is like a tiger, and a lack of cage and taming will hurt others and yourself!" It can be seen from this that it is generally believed that the operation of power needs to be restrained and supervised, and once there is no restraint, this naked power can easily be abused to the point of shock.
At the same time, calls for the official findings to be made public are too loud to ignore. People are hungry for a definitive answer, hoping to remove the clouds and empty the scene of the crash once and for all. Whatever the end result, they want to be able to witness the thrilling scene for themselves.
Nor have people forgotten to give bitter advice to the uniformed enforcers who wield power on their shoulders. The cries from all fronts convey an expectation: please be courteous and follow the rules, and do not dance like that again. This is the most basic quality that a public servant of the people should have.
This incident has undoubtedly aroused widespread scrutiny and concern from all walks of life about the operation of public power. People are both bitter about the status quo and hungry for change; It not only refers to the trapping of arrows, but also calls for hard work. A great social debate around the proper operation of power has begun.
epilogue
The public should be more enlightened and rational, tolerant of the rational operation of power, and help it to achieve steady and long-term success. Only when power and the power of the people are integrated and check and balance each other can a society ruled by man truly move towards a society ruled by law, and can power forever enjoy its sacred and inviolable majesty. We believe that this scene will eventually be visible in the future.
