□ Our reporter Zhang Xuehong
On July 15, Zhang Minghan, a student at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who caught the "candid cameraman" on the Beijing subway and turned him over to the police, was named and praised by the Beijing police.
The police station sent a letter to Zhang Minghan's research letter praising him for his courageous behavior, and suggested that the school commend him for his deeds of standing up and daring to fight against illegal acts.
It turned out that on July 4, when Zhang Minghan was taking the subway, he found a man secretly photographing the private parts of a female passenger, but the woman was unaware.
He immediately yelled at the man who took the candid camera, and stepped forward to grab the man's arm to prevent him from deleting the video evidence in the phone.
After taking away the mobile phone, Zhang Minghan and other passengers subdued the man who took the candid photo.
After getting out of the carriage, he asked the platform staff to report to the police, and followed the police back to the police station to make a record.
Due to the solid evidence, the man who secretly photographed was detained by the Beijing Public Transport Police in accordance with the law.
Zhang Minghan, who "overnight" at the police station for the first time, recorded his complicated feelings in the WeChat circle of friends: "It was the first time I took a police car to be a witness, and I was called a brave man... I will always remember that I was once a witness. A soldier, I am not afraid of wolves, tigers and leopards."
It is understood that Zhang Minghan served as a soldier for two years as an undergraduate. This special experience not only gave him a strong physique, but also gave him a sense of justice and responsibility.
Zhang Minghan said that after the incident, the police also reminded him to avoid confrontation and protect himself first when encountering such situations in the future.
But at that time, he didn't have time to think too much, that is, he had the courage and self-confidence to subdue the opponent.
After entering the summer, there has been an increase in indecent nuisance violations on the subway, and many offenders have been dealt with by the police.
The Beijing Public Transport Police advises female passengers that if they encounter indecent harassment, they can summon up the courage to make a bold report. On the premise of ensuring safety, they can take pictures and record them as they can, and hand over the rest to the police for handling.
Ms. Li, who recently encountered "salty pig hands" on the subway, not only cooperated with the public security organs to bring the offenders to justice, but also received a certificate from the Beijing Public Transport Police - because the police and investigations delayed Ms. Li's work, the police also specially Explain the situation to Ms. Li's work unit.
On July 7, Ms. Li posted on Weibo that she encountered "salty pig hands" on Metro Line 15 that day, and immediately called the Beijing Public Transport Police for help.
After more than two hours of investigation and questioning by the police, the offender admitted his indecent and nuisance behavior and was eventually detained for 10 days.
Due to the suddenness of the incident, Ms. Li did not have time to take photos or videos as evidence at the time, but the offenders faced the police's questioning and answered inconsistently, and finally confessed.
Regarding the subway molestation and harassment cases, the Beijing Public Transport Police introduced that the absence of photos and videos does not affect the filing of the case. As long as there are illegal and criminal facts, administrative or criminal legal responsibilities can be investigated.
How can women effectively avoid being harassed when riding in a car, and how can they protect themselves to the greatest extent when encountering "perverts"?
Beijing Public Transport Police advise female passengers to pay attention to the following points:
After getting on the bus, try not to stop near the door, and stand in the middle of the car or in the corner where female passengers are concentrated; in the car, you should pay attention to whether there are people behind you who can secretly photograph, touch, or squeeze or rub yourself too hard, especially if it is not too crowded. If there is still the above situation, then you must be vigilant; don’t be afraid when you encounter a “pervert”, you can block or give the other party a warning look, show your attitude, and call the police in time; when conditions permit and there is no danger , use the mobile phone to take pictures of the appearance, clothing, height and other characteristics of the "pervert", so as to provide clues to the police and assist in solving the case; when encountering indecent assault, you must speak out boldly, shout loudly, attract the attention of surrounding passengers, and actively seek help. Cooperate with the police to carry out follow-up investigation and evidence collection.
