Chapter fifty-four: the meaning of the existence of law.
When the patrol car arrived at the center of the square, Jia Youqian had already turned on the DV camera, recording the faces full of expectancy. For most of them, this city was just a stopping point in their countless journeys. What was in their hearts was It has always been the place where their souls can rest, and the name of this place is "home".
"Hey, what are you doing? Let her go." The middle-aged police officer turned right in his patrol car, pointed at a sloppily dressed man and shouted.
The man who was so arrogant just now was immediately frightened, let go of his hand, and stood there looking at a loss.
The woman who was pushed to the ground by the man wiped her tears and held the two children in her arms. Judging from the situation, they should be a family, and this was not the first time that this happened.
Han Fei followed the middle-aged policeman out of the patrol car. From a distance, he could smell the strong smell of low-quality liquor on the man's body.
"What's the relationship between you two?" the middle-aged policeman asked.
The man whispered back: "She, she is my wife."
"I didn't ask you." The middle-aged policeman shouted angrily. The man shivered in fright and almost sat down on the ground. The woman who fell on the ground stood up carefully and wiped her tears: "Comrade policeman, he, he is my husband. ."
Both Jia Youqian and Xie Buchen looked at the sloppy man with disdain. He bullied the weak and feared the strong. He looked like a guy who wouldn't dare to fart outside. He would take it out on his wife and children after he drank too much.
The middle-aged policeman said, "Take out all your ID cards." After saying this, he took the ID card but showed no intention of looking at it.
"Come to the police station with me."
After saying that, the man became anxious: "Comrade police, this is all a household matter, so we don't need to trouble the government, right?"
The middle-aged policeman shouted: "Is this a family matter? You are committing domestic violence. According to the public security management and punishment regulations, you will be detained. Lesbians, don't be afraid. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
The woman was also anxious: "Comrade police, is this unnecessary? Our train will arrive at the station soon, and the elderly at home are waiting for us to go home for the New Year."
"Celebrating the New Year? It would be better for this kind of person to spend the New Year in a detention center." Xie Buchen said angrily.
The man suddenly took the woman and knelt in front of the policeman: "Comrade policeman, I know I was wrong. I promise never to beat my wife again. Please be noble and bypass me this time."
The middle-aged policeman helped the woman up: "Does he often drink too much and beat you and the children like crazy?"
The woman cried and nodded, but immediately shook her head and said: "Comrade police, please don't arrest him. In fact, he is usually very good to us and an honest person, but sometimes he gets drunk and gets drunk."
The middle-aged policeman pondered for a moment, turned around and said to the slovenly man: "I can let you go this time, but I will register it on the record. If you dare to hit your wife again in the future and are discovered by the police or the neighborhood committee, you will be punished for multiple crimes. It’s not as simple as a detention center, I have to lock you up for a few years!”
The sloppy man was frightened and trembling. He took the ID card and shook his head repeatedly: "I don't dare anymore. I will never beat my wife again."
At this time, an announcement sounded in the train station square, indicating that the couple's train could enter the station and wait for the train. They also carried large and small bags and disappeared into the crowd with their children.
Xie Buchen seemed to be a little confused about the middle-aged policeman's handling: "Uncle policeman, is it really useful to scare him like this? In my opinion, it is better to lock him up for a few days. This kind of person will become more honest after being locked up for a few days."
The middle-aged policeman smiled and shook his head: "In the end, this matter is still a family matter. If his wife doesn't complain, we have no right to lock him up. Besides, if we lock him up for such a trivial matter, our detention room will no longer be able to accommodate him. "
"Then what if he beats his wife again?" Xie Buchen asked with a curled lips.
But Han Fei said categorically: "He doesn't dare."
"Oh, tell me?" The middle-aged policeman glanced at Han Fei in surprise.
"Because he is legally illiterate, he will never know whether he has a criminal record for domestic violence. Moreover, if you put him in a detention center, he will think that it is nothing more than that after a few days, and he will lose his understanding of the law. Rather than being in awe of him, it is better to let him go. As long as he is in awe, he will not dare to attack his wife again. At the very least, he must consider it when he attacks. If he is too harsh for a moment and his wife cannot bear it, he will be punished. How many years in prison?"
The middle-aged policeman stepped on the brakes, turned to look at Han Fei and exclaimed: "You are really a talent for not going to the police academy or studying law."
Xie Buchen and Jia Youqian also looked at Han Fei in surprise: "Damn it, it's true. If it were me, I would be ashamed."
Soon the patrol car encountered another incident. A homeless man grabbed a young girl's bag and refused to let go. The young girl struggled to open it and was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.
"Hey, it's you again, let go of your hand first." The middle-aged policeman was happy when he saw the homeless man's appearance clearly: "Okay, it used to be a pawn, but this time it's a robbery instead?"
The homeless man smiled and let go of his hand, but the girl's expression seemed very angry. Upon seeing this, the young girl hurriedly hid behind the police.
"Comrade police, you just saw it. He was clearly robbing him. Quick, lock him up and give him a sentence of ten to eight years."
The middle-aged policeman frowned: "Whether he is arrested or not depends on whether he has violated the law. Whether he is sentenced or not is a matter for the court. Comrade, please show me your ID card."
"What?" The girl's voice suddenly became sharp: "It was obviously him who robbed my bag, but you actually asked me for my ID card."
The middle-aged policeman replied calmly: "Looking at him like this, does he look like he has an ID card?"
"Pfft!" Han Fei and the other three couldn't help laughing.
The girl angrily took out her ID card. The middle-aged policeman took a look at it, then turned to the bachelor and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The homeless man trembled and told the whole story. It turned out that he was begging according to the "customary", but the girl was very mean and cursed "Madman."
The tramp argued with her. The girl also had a fierce personality and would scold her all the time. The tramp got anxious and then grabbed her bag.
"Is that so?" the middle-aged policeman asked.
The girl nodded, but still said angrily: "Then he can't steal my bag. This already constitutes robbery. You are a policeman, why do you always side with him? I am the victim, okay, let's They are the builders of this city. They have been idle all day long, and they have already reached out for food. How can they talk about dignity?"
Xie Buchen and Jia Youqian looked at each other. Although they didn't agree with the girl's point of view, they couldn't find any arguments to refute it. In fact, this was also the point of view of most people. Since they were already begging for food, dignity? It seemed that it had already been done. He was thrown to the ground and trampled underfoot.
The middle-aged policeman shook his head and said: "The purpose of the law is not to protect the rights and interests of a certain category of people, but to protect the rights and interests of everyone. Even criminals who have been deprived of political rights for life still enjoy the protection of the law."
"Yes, he lives by begging and does not create value for society, but can you guarantee that you will have a smooth life and can always create value for society? If I don't protect his rights today, then one day you will think that you have not done anything for society.
When society creates value, can I not protect your rights and interests?"
The girl was speechless, but she still felt that she was losing face and never let go.
At this time, Han Fei smiled and said: "In fact, he has no subjective intention to rob. Otherwise, based on your strength comparison, would you still be able to keep your bag in your hands?"
The girl stomped her feet and walked away with a groan.
"Thank you, thank you." The homeless man's eyes turned red, he silently bowed to Han Fei and the middle-aged policeman, and left unsteadily.
