Is it all done by forcing the woman to get in the car and write a letter of guarantee?

　　If it hadn't been for a surveillance video to be made public, people would probably not believe that under the circumstances, someone would dare to make such a brazen act of taking others.

According to JiMu News, in the early morning of July 9th, in Lingshan County, Qinzhou, Guangxi, a white car suddenly turned and stopped in front of a woman in white. Later, the male driver got out of the car and wanted to drag the woman into the car.

The woman struggled and shouted for help. Fortunately, the enthusiastic citizens rescued her, and the violent man left immediately.

Afterwards, the reporter learned from the Lingshan County Public Security Bureau that the relationship between the woman and the man was a former boyfriend and girlfriend.

After the incident, after mediation by the police, the woman said that she would not hold the other party responsible.

According to Sichuan Observatory's report, the woman in question issued a response to the matter, saying that her ex-boyfriend had written a pledge at the police station to stop harassment and thanked the stranger who helped her.

　　A raging news about the rule of law should not end with just a "guarantee".

From a legal point of view, forcibly taking others into the car and infringing on the personal freedom of others has already touched the "high-voltage line" of the legal system.

Citizens’ personal freedom is a fundamental right protected by the law. my country’s Constitution clearly stipulates: "Citizens’ personal freedom shall not be violated", "Illegal detention and illegal deprivation or restriction of citizens’ personal freedom by other means are prohibited."

The basic rights stipulated in black and white in the Constitution are not furnishings on the wall.

　　Looking back at the surveillance video, the woman has been fighting fiercely during the violent hijacking that lasted for more than 1 minute, and she has left obvious scars. If it were not for the intervention of other citizens, the person concerned would have been squeezed into the car and taken away. Unimaginable.

According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, if a crime has already been committed and fails due to reasons other than the will of the criminal element, it is considered an attempted crime and may be given a lighter or mitigated punishment as compared to an accomplished offender.

Even if the crime is not up to the level of the crime, there is no need to pursue criminal responsibility. According to the Law of Public Security Management Punishment, the personal freedom of others is illegally restricted. Even if the circumstances are minor, they can be detained for not less than 5 days but not more than 10 days, and the penalty is 200 yuan to 500 yuan The following is fine.

　　In a society under the rule of law, some things can be "private" and some things cannot be "private".

According to the law, mediation in police stations does have a certain legal effect, but the scope is mostly limited to the civil field.

Forcibly kidnapping others in public is not a child's play. Whether the perpetrator needs to be held accountable or sanctioned should be determined by the law, not by the aggressor and the victim. Lightly exposed the matter.

　　It is true that the relationship between the man and the woman in white is a former boyfriend and girlfriend, but this does not become a "shield" for the perpetrator to eliminate disasters and exempt responsibility.

my country’s law stipulates that infringement of personal freedom without legal procedures, no matter how special your status is, you should bear legal responsibility, and there is no room for bargaining.

Even parents cannot illegally detain their own children, let alone the so-called ex-boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

　　In modern society, every citizen is free from any violence and illegal infringement, which is freedom under the strict protection of state power.

If such incidents can be easily "privatized", it will inevitably weaken the deterrent effect of the law on criminals.

Only by properly handling such incidents, doing our utmost to support the victims, and making the abusers pay the price, can we give the public a peace of mind and prevent similar incidents from happening again.
