Traffic police in many places in Sichuan try Moments "collect praise and punish" netizens like humanization

  "I parked indiscriminately in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, violating traffic laws, and was seized by the traffic police. Now I have a deep understanding of my mistake, please give me a like…" "I was driving a battery car that did not follow the non-motorized road, and was seized by the traffic police at the intersection of Banana Forest on Checheng Avenue… The traffic police asked to collect all 10 likes, please support my initiative"…

  On April 25, on the road section of Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, taxis parked illegally, and the driver collected praise for 20 and then got back the suspended driver’s license. On April 26, on the road section of Ziyang City, battery cars did not drive according to non-motor vehicle lanes, and cyclists collected praise for 10, experienced duty and accepted fines and were released. On April 16, on the road section of Dazhou City, battery cars were driving in reverse, and cyclists collected praise for 20 and were released.

  Over the past few days, traffic police in many places in Sichuan have taken the "WeChat Moments Collection" approach to deal with some traffic violations of motor vehicles and battery cars. This move has attracted widespread attention in the society. Many people praise this fresh approach, praising it for being "humane" and "advancing with the times". However, some citizens and netizens believe that more attention should be paid to whether there is a legal basis for "collecting praise and punishing".

  Leshan: Taxi illegally parked and waiting for passenger drivers to collect praise for 20 fines

  On April 25, Du Moumou, a taxi driver in Leshan, parked illegally outside the east gate of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area to wait for passengers. "There are a lot of tourists. Although I know I can’t stop, in order to receive business, I still took a chance and parked the car on the side of the road, waiting for the guests to come out." Du told the cover news reporter of the West China Metropolis Daily that he saw the traffic police walking over not long after stopping. "I thought to myself, this time I will be fined and fined, which is really not worth the loss."

  After the police on duty came over, they first informed Du that parking was prohibited on Lingyun Road in Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, and a conspicuous ban sign was specially set up next to the road. According to relevant regulations, drivers who violate the ban sign will be fined 100 yuan and get 3 points on their driver’s license. Subsequently, the police temporarily detained a copy of their driver’s license. But to Du’s surprise, after the police informed him, they said that they could share their illegal behavior with WeChat Moments as required, and the driver’s license could be returned after collecting 20 likes.

  "I parked indiscriminately in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, violating traffic laws, and was caught by the traffic police. Now I have a deep understanding of my mistake, please give me a like. Please follow the traffic rules in the future." Under the guidance of the police, Du posted the illegal act to his Moments and distributed pictures of his illegal scene. Then, Du drove away with suspicion.

  After running for a while, although he was ridiculed by his friends in the circle of friends, he still collected enough likes for 20. Then, Du drove back to Lingyun Road again, and the police gave him a copy of his driver’s license without a fine or points. But the police saved a screenshot of the Moments article, saying that if he committed another offense next time, he would be severely punished.

  The relevant person in charge of the traffic police brigade of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area said that there are many tourists in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, and the traffic flow on Lingyun Road has always been very large. Parking vehicles at will can easily cause congestion. In order to better manage traffic and publicize traffic laws and regulations more widely, the brigade learned from the practices of other cities in China and piloted this new treatment and education method for motor vehicles parked indiscriminately, parked and dropped passengers illegally, etc., starting from April 21.

  Ziyang: Electric carThere are a lot of fines for not driving by the lane

  "Dad, have you had enough likes? I’m going to be late for class." At about 8 am on April 26, at the intersection of Banaolin on Checheng Avenue in Ziyang City, a little boy around 8 years old followed his father’s butt with an anxious look. However, his father was wearing a "yellow vest" and had to go to the intersection to experience the traffic police on duty, collect 10 likes on WeChat Moments, and accept a fine of 20 yuan in order to retrieve the battery car and continue to send his son to school.

  And this is only because the little boy’s father, Mr. Yang, did not follow the prescribed lane on the way to send his son to school. When passing through the intersection of Bajiaolin on Checheng Avenue, he was stopped by the traffic police when he was about to turn right from the right motor vehicle lane. It is in this round of multi-department centralized rectification of non-motor vehicle violations that Ziyang traffic police have adopted the most popular "WeChat collection and praise" method.

  However, unlike the general "collection of praise on behalf of punishment", when the traffic police seize non-motor vehicle violations, the parties can choose to experience the traffic police on duty for half an hour and accept the corresponding fine, or they can choose to send Moments to collect praise, experience the traffic police on duty during the collection of praise, and then accept the corresponding fine. Considering that his son is rushing to school, WeChat collection praise can shorten the time, Mr. Yang decisively sent Moments.

  "I was driving a battery car that did not follow the non-motorized lane, and was seized by the traffic police at the intersection of Bajiaolin on Checheng Avenue… The traffic police asked to collect 10 likes, please support my initiative…" After more than 10 minutes, Mr. Yang collected 10 likes, quickly took off his "yellow vest", and accepted a fine of 20 yuan, and rushed to school with his son.

  On the same day, Ziyang traffic police set up a total of six rectification and education points in the urban area to strictly investigate non-motor vehicles driving in reverse, running red lights and other illegal acts. At the intersection of Bajiaolin on Checheng Avenue alone, within an hour, the traffic police stopped 35 non-motor vehicles driving illegally. Most people chose Moments to collect praise. A woman posted Moments and no one liked it, so she had to call a friend to "tie it up".

  What if you don’t want to collect likes?

  Voluntary choice of punishment

  In addition to the traffic police in Leshan and Ziyang, the traffic police in Dazhou used the method of "WeChat Moments Collection of Likes" as early as April 16 to deal with the illegal drivers of battery cars. The parties exposed their illegal behavior in the circle of friends, and they could be released after collecting 20 likes. In just three days, more than 10 people chose "Collection of Likes on behalf of Punishment".

  Outside of Sichuan, in Handan, Hebei, Jiangyin, Jiangsu and other places, traffic police departments have faced similar penalties for minor traffic violations, which has aroused widespread attention and discussion across the country. "If Moments self-exposes, how can you have the face to meet people in the future?" Among them, some netizens asked, what if the driver is unwilling to self-expose in Moments because of face, or does not want to expose privacy?

  In response, a brigade directly under the traffic police of Dazhou City responded that this kind of gathering praise method is only for the first minor violation of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles, and the parties involved in the violation are deeply aware of their mistakes. At the same time, in addition to choosing the "gathering praise on behalf of punishment" method, offenders can also voluntarily choose other methods such as fines. The relevant person in charge of the traffic police brigade of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area also said that "the method is not single."

  What is the specific effect?

  All the praise collectors said "very profound"

  Du Moumou, a Leshan taxi driver who chose Moments, said the "Moments Collection Like" format was very humane and made him feel "very profound." At the same time, many colleagues in the circle of friends also took screenshots and forwarded the message. "Not only is it a lesson for myself, but it also reminds my colleagues not to park indiscriminately."

  In Ziyang on April 26, while waiting for the collection of praise, Mr. Yang kept apologizing to his son and told the traffic police that he realized his mistake. "My father should not take the motor vehicle lane, and he will be supervised to abide by the rules in the future." Not only that, in this "profound lesson", Mr. Yang’s son also deeply understood. According to the police on duty, many people said after the Moments collection that day that they were "too shameless, and they will never [violate the law] again."

  "Through this form, education and learning can achieve results." The relevant person in charge of the Ziyang City Traffic Police Detachment said that exposing oneself through Moments can also play a role in educating relatives and friends around you, further amplifying the effect of law enforcement. The relevant person in charge of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area Traffic Police Brigade also said that using WeChat Moments to carry out legal publicity and education can be very good, so that more people can abide by traffic laws.

  dissent

  Can Jizan be punished?

  Can’t just look at the effect is more important than the law?

  In the heated discussion between citizens and netizens, in addition to many applause voices, some people also hold different views. "The form and standard of punishment for illegal acts are statutory." Netizen "Kwai Kui" questioned, what right does the traffic police have to create their own form of punishment? Netizen "Still Water Flow Deep" also believes that from the perspective of strict "administration according to law", "no authorization without law" is a basic criterion, and any punishment set outside the law is suspected of "no basis for law", even if the original intention is good and the effect is good, it is debatable.

  According to relevant laws and regulations, if a motor vehicle violates the prohibition sign, the driver’s license will be charged with 3 points and a fine of 20 to 200 yuan, generally a fine of 100 yuan; if a non-motor vehicle is driving in the opposite direction, a fine of 20 yuan; if a non-motor vehicle does not pass in accordance with the traffic light regulations, a fine of 20 yuan will be imposed; if a non-motor vehicle fails to drive in a non-motor vehicle lane, a fine of 50 yuan will be imposed; if there is a crosswalk, a non-motor vehicle does not cross the motor vehicle lane from the crosswalk, a fine of 10 yuan will be imposed.

  Based on the above specific regulations, Ziyang traffic police not only required "collection of praise", but also punished the illegal parties with experience on duty and fines. The relevant person in charge of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area Traffic Police Brigade who implemented "collection of praise on behalf of punishment" said that in the process of handling traffic violations, for minor violations, publicity and education can be the main way to deal with them. The "collection of praise on behalf of punishment" method is also one of the manifestations of the education method. "Punishment is not the goal, and ensuring everyone’s safe travel is the ultimate goal. This is the true meaning of this work."
