in recent days, a video of a woman in plain clothes in hefei, anhui, "showing her evidence" to inspect the car while taking an online ride-hailing service has attracted continued attention.

according to reports, mr. shi, an online ride-hailing driver in hefei, recently posted a video saying that on september 20, a woman rode in one of his operating vehicles. after arriving at the destination, she "showed her id" and claimed to be a transportation management staff member, and asked the online ride-hailing driver to show her operating certificate. . mr. shi said that it takes two people to enforce the law, so he refused to show his id. soon after, his ride-hailing account was banned. in this regard, mr. shi questioned the other party's abuse of power.

on september 24, the hefei municipal transportation bureau issued a situation report stating that it found that the woman jiao moumou had engaged in improper law enforcement behavior, and decided to give jiao moumou a warning and transfer her from her post.

the incident was dealt with quickly, but questions remain to be answered. for example, many netizens question how to define "improper law enforcement"? is it that there is law enforcement power but "improper procedures", or does it have no law enforcement power itself and the source is "improper subject"?

on the one hand, netizens’ doubts are based on the fact that power cannot be arbitrary and should be placed under supervision; on the other hand, they hope that the common sense that everyone is equal before the law cannot be broken arbitrarily. every law enforcement dispute that evolves from an individual case into a public event is the best legal teaching material and law-abiding guide. therefore, it is necessary for us to inquire more seriously about it.

law enforcement officers must have a clear legal basis and legitimate law enforcement purposes when enforcing the law, and must also follow due procedures. specific to this case, public official jiao moumou did not abide by these basic rules of law, and the subsequent ban on the account of the online ride-hailing driver was even more shocking. on the other hand, mr. shi, the online ride-hailing driver, raised questions on the spot when faced with what the official report called "improper law enforcement", which just shows that he has a certain awareness of the rule of law, especially the awareness of due process. the so-called respecting the law, abiding by the law, and protecting the law have specific expressions in him.

in addition, while playing the role of regulators, regulatory authorities also bear the responsibility of safeguarding market development and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of practitioners. relevant departments should not only protect the basic rights and interests of online ride-hailing drivers, but also actively solve their urgent, difficult and anxious problems and create a better working environment and a more promising development environment for them. this is both our responsibility and the common expectation of the whole society.
