standardized law enforcement is not limited to the law enforcement behavior itself. interactive feedback and information communication with the platform are also part of standardized law enforcement.
recently, a ride-hailing driver reported online that a female employee of the hefei municipal transportation bureau showed her work id when she took a taxi and asked to see "two certificates". because she was in plain clothes and was enforcing the law alone, the driver refused to cooperate. the woman said she would report it to the platform and then get off the car and leave. the driver allegedly went to her workplace to argue about the matter. afterwards, the woman complained to the ride-hailing platform and the driver's account was blocked, but in less than half an hour, the account was unblocked.
after the incident, it attracted widespread attention. on september 24, the hefei municipal transportation bureau issued a notice stating that it had discovered that a staff member of the bureau, jiao, had engaged in improper law enforcement. according to relevant laws and regulations, after research and decision, jiao was given a warning and removed from his post.
article 42 of the administrative penalty law stipulates that administrative penalties shall be implemented by law enforcement personnel with administrative law enforcement qualifications. there shall be no less than two law enforcement personnel, except as otherwise provided by law. from this perspective, the fact that this female staff member enforced the law alone was itself extremely irregular.
there is something strange about this matter. a staff member of the hefei municipal transportation comprehensive law enforcement brigade said that the woman in the video circulating online is not a law enforcement officer of the brigade, but a staff member of the hefei municipal transportation bureau, "theoretically she has no law enforcement power."
then her problem is not just that she is not enforcing the law in a standardized manner, but that she has no power to enforce the law. since she has no power to enforce the law, what is her purpose in showing her id card before getting off the bus? to cause a dispute, to use her power to pressure others? to threaten, intimidate, or to "take the bus as a bully"? many netizens have raised similar questions online.
there is no doubt that this is an expansion of power consciousness.without the power to enforce the law, the natural reaction is to confuse public and private affairs, show off evidence and shout, and ignore basic legal norms.if the driver had not had a high level of legal awareness, i am afraid that this staff member would have succeeded and even felt proud of his abuse of power.
it is worth noting that the online taxi driver’s account did go through a process of being blocked and then unblocked, which also raises many questions. is this just a punishment for the platform to deal with disputes, or is there a shadow of power involved behind the scenes?
now that things have come to this, it is necessary to investigate and explain this abnormal situation. if there is indeed a situation where power is used to influence the judgment of the platform, then this is even more worthy of vigilance.standardized law enforcement is not limited to the law enforcement behavior itself. interactive feedback and information communication with the platform are also part of standardized law enforcement.
in addition, because the online car-hailing driver was almost blocked and his livelihood was almost severely affected, as some netizens questioned, is the treatment of merely "warning and transfer from the post" strong enough and can it really serve as a deterrent?
in may this year, the ministry of transport issued the "three-year action plan for improving the quality and efficiency of administrative law enforcement in transportation (2024-2026)", which mentioned "organizing and carrying out projects to improve the image of law enforcement, standardizing dress, appearance and behavior, wearing law enforcement recorders, and improving personal image", "strictly implementing the qualification management and certificate-holding system for law enforcement personnel, and personnel who have not obtained law enforcement certificates are not allowed to engage in law enforcement work independently."
the actions of the staff involved are a typical counterexample, which is contrary to the latest regulations of relevant departments.the relevant departments should not only impose appropriate penalties on the parties involved, but also rectify departmental disciplines, align with the latest policy spirit, control the abuse of power, and ensure that every move of the staff can withstand the test of the law and the scrutiny of the public.
