Recently, the "god operation" of a gas station in Baotou, Inner Mongolia made netizens blow up. This gas station used a mysterious software to "steal oil" under the noses of customers, and in less than a year, it illegally caught more than 8.6 million big fish. The result? was caught, in addition to spitting out all the ill-gotten gains, the fine was only 2,000 oceans!
This thing sounds like a joke, but it is a real story, and people can't help but ask: Does this fine mean a penalty of three glasses of wine?
What happened: the "invisible hand" in the oil gun
The story begins in May this year, when the market supervision staff found a not simple computer hidden in the backyard of a gas station in Baotou during a surprise inspection. The "Behring Gas Station Management System" running on this computer is the "invisible hands" that quietly move their hands and feet on the fuel dispenser.
Through a function in the system, gas stations can freely adjust the amount of fuel, and customers can make more money with less fuel, and even pay a lot less taxes. This trick, from March last year to May this year, made them earn nearly 10 million.
Doubtful fines: 2,000 yuan?
The key is that for such a big matter, the final fine was only 2,000 yuan, and this wave of operations made netizens call it incomprehensible. According to the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Gas Station Measurement, there are more severe penalties for this behavior that destroys the accuracy of the meter. Some speculate that the upper limit of the fine may be 2,000 yuan. But the amount of fines, compared with the illegal gains of more than 8.6 million, is simply a drizzle, and it is inevitable that people will wonder if there are any legal "small loopholes" behind this?
The Libra of Law and Reason: Is the Punishment in Place?
The law is the last line of defense to maintain fairness, but in this matter, netizens obviously feel that this scale is not even. After all, this kind of cheating at gas stations not only infringes on the rights and interests of consumers, but also damages the country's tax revenue, and a fine of 2,000 yuan seems to be difficult to play a deterrent effect. What's more, will such a punishment inadvertently send the wrong signal to others: as long as the means are clever, even if they are caught, they can "get out of the way"?
