<Anchor> The



traffic lights at the intersection were broken, so the police cracked down on vehicles that passed by carefully for signal violations.

The police did not clear the traffic even though they were aware of the breakdown of the traffic lights, but rather cracked down on vehicles from a distance.

When accusations poured, the police department officially apologized.

An intersection in Eumseong-gun, Chungbuk.

Traffic light The car stops at the red light.



After a while after a pedestrian crosses the crossing, the light suddenly goes out.

Pedestrian traffic lights were also jammed.



The driver, who has been waiting for a while, turns on the emergency light and slowly passes the intersection.



However, the police appearing as if waiting at the next intersection cracked down on a signal violation.



Even if you describe a traffic light breakdown, they say you already know it.



[Driver: The traffic light is off.]



[Police: Oh, the red complaint does not come on, the green light is on.]



Then, when I ask what to do, an absurd answer comes back.



[Driver: Then what should I do?]



[Police: There are three traffic lights, so you should have seen three of them.

But I know this one (breakdown traffic light) doesn't come in.]



What I told you to look at instead of the broken traffic light is that it was the traffic light at the intersection where the police stood, and you had to look at the traffic light at the next intersection, 240m away from the breakdown point.



[Han Moon-cheol/Attorney: If you knew that the traffic light was broken, you should have cleared the traffic at the intersection with the broken traffic light, and it seems inappropriate to crack down on the driver at the next intersection.]



When the video of the black box of the vehicle was released, the website of Chungbuk Eumseong Police Station There were hundreds of criticisms posted on the page.



Eventually, the police department, which admitted to the wrongdoing, posted an official apology and went out to inspect the police.
