What are you talking about today? As soon as you look at the title of the article, you should know, yes, today I still want to talk about the incident of the police car in Jingzhou, Hubei Province forcing a private car to stop on the highway, this matter continues to ferment, and the impact is getting bigger and bigger, and it has also attracted widespread attention from the society and heated discussions among netizens.
Recently, a dashcam video of "police car stopping private car" on the Internet has attracted widespread attention, which has shocked many people and commented that this behavior is too domineering.
The reason behind this video was later analyzed in detail by netizens. The incident happened on May 10, a small car was driving normally on the highway in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, when suddenly a police car tried to overtake from the right.
The driver of the car did not notice a car overtaking from the right, so he did not slow down to give way, but continued to follow the route he expected to overtake the large truck in front.
Subsequently, when the car switched to the right lane, the police car behind continued to signal with its horn and accelerated to the left lane of the car, trying to stop it by changing the car.
Two men then got out of the police car, one of whom showed his police ID and asked to see the driver's ID and driver's license.
The black-clothed policeman asked, "Didn't you see the official car?" You should take the initiative to get an official car. ”
Netizens responded: "I really didn't see it! ”
When they were suddenly stopped by the police and asked to see their ID cards and driver's licenses, netizens seemed a little overwhelmed. Although the two police officers were wearing civilian clothes but had already shown their police officer IDs, netizens were still skeptical of these strangers.
The black-clothed policeman kept urging, and he said: "This is the first warning! ”
Faced with this situation, netizens had to hand over their ID cards and driver's licenses.
After checking the documents, the two plainclothes policemen didn't say anything and drove away.
The incident that took place on the Jingzhou Expressway did not end so simply. Everyone was expecting a clear explanation that it was not enough to set up an investigation team, and the provincial police inspectorate had already intervened in the investigation.
At first, many may have thought that issuing an apology statement, or conducting a suspension for reflection, would be enough, but the situation has developed more than expected, and the discussion on the Internet has intensified. Netizens not only became online judges, investigating every detail in the video clearly, but also made many sharp comments.
One comment said: "Once power is in the wrong hands, it becomes a public nightmare!" We need to be vigilant about this. The comment quickly garnered more than 200 likes after it was posted, showing that many people felt the same way as the incident.
This incident has attracted great attention from the authorities. The Hubei Provincial Police Inspectorate has stepped in to investigate and promised to give the results within 30 days. This shows that dealing with such incidents is no longer just a simple internal matter, but has become an opportunity to take a comprehensive look at the credibility of the policing system.
At present, the incident of the police car intercepting a private car is under investigation. The two plainclothes officers involved were identified as police officers on duty, but their main duties were not traffic enforcement. As law enforcers, they should be familiar with the relevant laws and regulations, and now they seem to be in trouble for not following the rules.
After the incident was exposed, it quickly caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Many netizens bluntly criticized: "This is obviously not enforcing the law, but abusing power!" At the same time, some netizens asked: "Is this policeman unhappy because of the failure to overtake, and deliberately looking for trouble?" "All kinds of speculation and doubts are coming and going.
In addition, Jingzhou's suggestion of a "dangerous lane change" makes people feel even more confused. Considering that the private car is driving completely normally on the highway, how can it be defined as a "dangerous lane change"? This becomes an incomprehensible question.
Public employees shall represent the authority of the law in the performance of their official duties. And we, ordinary citizens, in the face of a huge power structure, can usually only do our best to cooperate and strictly abide by the rules.
The truth can be clearly seen through the video: even if the private car is driving a little slower, after overtaking, it is indeed back in the slow lane in an orderly manner. And that official car cut into another car at a 45-degree angle on the highway, which is not only a violation of the regulations, but also extremely dangerous, and it is very likely to cause a serious car accident, which is terrible to imagine.
One of the truck drivers at the scene bravely stepped forward and gave his testimony, and it didn't seem to be what we thought......
The truck driver bluntly pointed out that the private car was driving normally at the time, and there was no so-called dangerous driving behavior. He observed that the police car seemed to be looking for an opportunity to overtake, but it was unsuccessful because the conditions did not allow it. As a result, as soon as the private car changed lanes, the police car seized the opportunity to accelerate violently to overtake and eventually force the private car to stop on the side of the road.
Originally, this situation, if handled properly, could have been a simple "suspension check" or "public apology". However, due to the continuous questioning and attention of netizens, this matter has triggered greater social repercussions.
On the afternoon of May 16, the latest development came from the Songzi City Public Security Bureau of Jingzhou City: the two policemen involved in the case have been suspended, and the specific punishment measures are still being discussed, and the results will be announced to everyone in a timely manner.
This brings us to a little question about law enforcement. The public security department and the traffic police have their own responsibilities and powers. The two plainclothes policemen were driving police cars, did they mistakenly think that they had become traffic police? This kind of behavior is obviously a manifestation of ultra vires and non-standard law enforcement!
In addition, they forcibly stopped cars on the highway, which is extremely dangerous and is by no means trivial. Fortunately, this time it did not cause a bigger accident, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, this is a joke with life!
Moreover, some netizens pointed out that the clothes worn by these two plainclothes policemen are extremely expensive, and the price may be equivalent to the monthly salary of an average office worker, which also makes people speculate that their family background may be quite extraordinary.
It's not a big deal to spend 4,400 yuan on clothes, it's normal for people to save up for a year or even a few years to buy a good dress. An expensive dress does not represent a person's income level!
Let me share a little knowledge of safe driving on the highway with all drivers and friends. The key to safely changing lanes at high speeds is to make sure that other vehicles are not affected by your braking, steering, or honking.
According to Article 44 of the Road Traffic Safety Act, if there are two or more motor lanes on a road driving in the same direction, the vehicle must ensure that it does not interfere with the normal operation of vehicles in the other lanes when changing lanes.
Some netizens commented: "It is the most appropriate course of action to dismiss these two police officers who misbehaved and have caused negative impacts. This will help rebuild the good image of Jingzhou traffic police in the eyes of the public! ”
Their behaviour appears arrogant and offensive, with a clear abuse of power. This violation has also been confirmed by officials. The key now is to see how the authorities will deal with the matter, and the worst punishment could be the dismissal of the two officers.
The police's job is to protect the safety of the people, and they should never abuse their power. Remember, power is given by the people and cannot be done arbitrarily. If the police act in a way that is merely a manipulation of official authority and an unscrupulous abuse of power, such behavior is in fact distorting the true meaning of power.
