Recently, a video on the highway has attracted the attention and heated discussions of the majority of netizens, in the video, a police car "forced to stop" a private car in the emergency lane, two police officers who claimed to be on official duty shouted angrily, "Didn't you see the bus?" Why don't you give way? "And still ask to see the relevant documents of the owner of the private car, the attitude is extremely bad.
Is it really what a public official should do if he changes lanes on a highway and forces his car to stop?
Event recap
On May 10, 2024, on the highway in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, a private car was driving on the highway, and a large truck in front of it was preparing to overtake the vehicle in front of him.
I thought this was just a small episode, but I didn't expect the police car to honk, and the private car chose to change lanes in the right direction after seeing the police car whistle, so the police car gave way to the overtaking lane, so the police car overtook smoothly, I thought that the police car would be fine after overtaking, but I didn't expect the next situation to be unexpected.
After changing lanes in the right lane of the private car, the police car did not choose to go straight and continue to drive forward, but chose to continue to drive to the right and continued to drive in the lane where the private car was located, and finally the private car was finally forced to stop in the emergency lane by the police.
The driver of the private car also said that he was confused, he didn't break the law, why did the police car force him to stop, just when he was wondering, two people got off the police car, and the owner of the private car wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't expect the next thing to make him dumbfounded.
I saw two policemen wearing black short sleeves getting off the police car, angrily walking in the direction of the private car, two plainclothes policemen who were not wearing police uniforms came over with their police ID cards and loudly reprimanded the owner of the private car, "When you encounter a bus, you have to take the initiative to give way, don't you know?" ”
The private car also said that it was a little blind, and he did not see the police car honking and thought it was the same as a normal vehicle, and then the two policemen said that they wanted to check the relevant driver's license and driving license of the car owner, and the owner of the private car was forced to helplessly, because of the identity of the two policemen, so he took his relevant documents to the police to check, and the police drove away after reading them.
Sharp-eyed netizens also found that the short sleeves worn by one of the policemen were still famous brands, and the "Gucci" male star had the same short sleeves, and a short sleeve was worth 4,400 yuan. It is hard to imagine that a person who wears a famous brand and has a bad attitude towards the people is still a policeman, which is indeed a bit surprising, after all, the police in the hearts of the people at least treat the people with great respect.
Do police cars have priority when they are not on duty?
According to the relevant provisions of the mainland's "Road Safety Law", police cars can use sirens and iconic lamps when performing emergency tasks, and police cars are not subject to traffic lights and driving restrictions when performing tasks, and should avoid police cars as pedestrians and other vehicles.
It also stipulates that if the police car is not on an emergency mission, it does not have the right to road priority, and if it does not have the right to road priority, it is only available when it is on an emergency mission. In other words, if the police car that forced the private car to stop is on an emergency mission, then it has the right to give priority to the road, and if it is not on an emergency mission, the police car is not in compliance with the regulations.
Can you drive a police car without a police uniform?
According to the relevant provisions of the Police Law of the People's Republic of China, the police must wear uniform clothing when enforcing the law, wear a sign with the appointment of a police officer or hold a certificate. At present, the boundary of this incident is whether the police are performing their official duties.
Official response
With the fermentation of the incident, more and more netizens questioned the matter, on May 14, 2024, Jingzhou responded to the incident of responding to the police car telling to intercept a private car on the highway, the police car involved belonged to the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the two men in black were in-service policemen.
Lawyers speak out
The lawyer said that the police car can only use the method of honking when it is on emergency duty, but the police car in the incident was not on emergency duty, so it did not meet the regulations, and the private car should not be punished.
The two policemen are people's police, not traffic police, and it is a very dangerous behavior for two policemen to stop a car on the highway, and the two policemen are likely to be punished, and may be subject to punishments such as demotion, dismissal, and dismissal.
Netizens' opinions
Once the power falls into the hands of the hooligans, it will surely become a disaster for the people!
Lord it over! Wearing 4400 clothes, I don't know how much I am greedy
Law enforcement violates the law, knowingly!
If the streets are full of such self-righteous public officials, I dare not imagine what this society will become
It seems to be a small matter, but in fact, it is extremely harmful to the country, and it must be dealt with strictly!
If you need to give way to your official duties, why don't you rush to stop your private car? Abandoning the task?
Finally, I would like to say
As a police officer should put the interests of the people first, instead of abusing private rights, unauthorized use of their rights, water can also carry a boat and overturn a boat, the rights of public officials come from the people, if you abuse private power to play official authority, it is to put your own rights before the horse, the right given to you by the state is to be a better people, if you only know the abuse of private rights, you will be severely punished by the law!
