On the evening of September 23, Qiu Decheng, a 46-year-old man from Baihe County, Shaanxi Province, was driving home and abandoned his car to escape to avoid inspection. The two auxiliary police officers then chased after him, and Qiu Decheng panicked and accidentally fell into the river and drowned.
On October 8, Zhang Shixin, political commissar of the Baihe County Public Security Bureau, was interviewed by a reporter from Jimu News, and frankly stated that there were flaws in the "law enforcement" this time. At present, Baihe County has set up a joint investigation team with the participation of the Discipline Inspection Commission, the Political and Legal Commission, the Bureau of Letters and Visits, and other units to carry out investigations.
The man was chased into the river by auxiliary police and drowned
At the time of the incident, the deceased's wife, Shang Jianhuan, and neighbor Ren were sitting in the car driven by Qiu Decheng. Shang Jianhuan's mother's family was in Yunyang District, Shiyan City, Hubei Province, and later married into Lengshui Town, Baihe County, Shaanxi Province.
The couple works on a construction site. Shang Jianhuan said that at about 8 p.m. on September 23, when her husband drove a car to the three forks in front of the Qingxiang Oil Mill on Lenghou Road in Lengshui Market Town, he saw a traffic police in front of him signaling to stop for inspection. Qiu Decheng's driver's license has been revoked in 2020, and after seeing the traffic police in front, he parked his car at the three forks of the road and got out of the car and ran along Lenghou Road to the direction of the market town.
The two traffic policemen saw Qiu Decheng running away, shouted "Still running, where to run" while chasing, and shook the flashlight. After running for more than 40 meters, Qiu Decheng chose to run to the side of the road, and because it was dark and he could not see the road conditions clearly, he fell down the steep slope of the roadside and fell into the cold water river in front of the fragrant oil mill.
"The police saw Qiu Decheng fall into the river and continued to shout 'jump into the river, jump into the river', and continued to chase to the river, because they did not see anyone, they returned, and then evacuated the duty station." Shang Jianhuan said that she searched by the river, because it was dark and accompanied by light rain, she could not see the movement of the river, and searched until 12 o'clock in the evening and did not find the whereabouts of her husband.
On the morning of September 24, Shang Jianhuan went to the cold water squadron of the traffic police brigade of the Baihe County Public Security Bureau and the cold water police station for help, and the police searched and rescued and judged that "people must have run." At about 7 a.m. on September 26, Qiu Decheng's body surfaced and was found.
Afterwards, Shang Jianhuan learned that the two traffic policemen who were chasing her husband were only auxiliary police.
Family members questioned the auxiliary police's violation of law enforcement
On the morning of October 8, Jimu News reporters came to the scene to visit. Here is a three-way junction, one leading to the Yangtian River, one to the market town, and one to the back street of the market town. There was a monitoring probe at the intersection, and Qiu Decheng's car was still parked at the scene of the incident.
Cold thick road is not wide, the road is a steep slope, there is no vegetation, very slippery, the slope is the cold water river, due to the recent continuous rainfall in the upper reaches of the Han River, the Han River overflows, resulting in the rise of the water level of the cold river, the depth of more than one person deep.
Qiu Decheng drove from the market town to the yangtian River that night, leaving the market town and walking about 300 meters.
There was an oil mill near the scene of the incident, with cameras installed, directly facing this area. After the incident, the local public security department has transferred the surveillance video.
"The auxiliary police have no law enforcement power, but they are on the road in violation of the law. If they hadn't chased after me, my husband wouldn't have fallen into the river; if they had been active in helping, my husband wouldn't have drowned. Shang Jianhuan told jimu news reporters that it was precisely because of the baihe county public security bureau auxiliary police that violated the law to enforce the law, which caused this serious consequence. After the incident, the Baihe County Public Security Bureau did not give the family a reasonable explanation.
Public Security Bureau Admits Law Enforcement Is "Flawed"
Zhang Shixin, political commissar of the Public Security Bureau of Baihe County, Shaanxi Province, told Jimu News that there were indeed 2 auxiliary police officers here to check drunk driving that night. On the morning of October 8, the Baihe County Public Security Bureau had handed over the investigation report of the bureau's discipline inspection team to the county discipline inspection commission.
Article 42 of the newly revised Administrative Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China this year stipulates that administrative punishment shall be imposed by law enforcement personnel with administrative law enforcement qualifications. There shall be no fewer than two law enforcement personnel, except as otherwise provided by law.
Article 73 of the Code for Road Enforcement Work of Traffic Police stipulates that duty on urban expressways, main roads and highways shall be carried out by two or more traffic policemen or two or more traffic coordinators led by one traffic policeman.
Zhang Dajun, a lawyer at Hubei Haokun Law Firm, said that with reference to the above law, the two auxiliary police officers obviously do not have independent law enforcement powers.
A number of police sources told Jimu News that the auxiliary police are not official policemen and have no law enforcement power, they are auxiliary law enforcement, that is, auxiliary police law enforcement. Generally, when performing law enforcement tasks, there must be a formal police presence and be led by a formal policeman.
