Teacher Wang, Po-Chi was interviewed by the Liberty Times Net: Scholars are worried about imitation effect/attacking the legal circles of government agencies: heavy sentences should be stopped Scholars worry about imitation effect/attack on government agencies and legal circles: heavy sentence to curb 2024/03/29 05:30 [Reporter YANG,KUO-WEN, HSU,SHENG-LUN /New Taipei City reports] CHANG,SHENG-TE, a man, fired three shots at the wall and glass door of the Digital Development Department in broad daylight to vent his anger. This move is not only a major evil act of provoking public power by targeting government agencies and carrying out violent attacks, but also seriously undermining social order. People in the legal profession believe that Man surnamed Zhang is lawless and arrogant, and he is dissatisfied with the political demands of the government's actions at the end of his crime, making a footnote for his violent crime. In fact, his harm to social order can not be underestimated, and may even lead to imitation effect. For such major criminal crimes, he should be severely sentenced and severely punished. Publicly provoking public power and seriously undermining social order WENG,WEI-LUN, a practicing lawyer who used to be a prosecutor, pointed out that the man surnamed Man surnamed Zhang to the distribution department with a shotgun yesterday and fired three shots in succession. On the surface, he was venting his dissatisfaction, but whether this is the case or not, I am afraid it remains to be considered. Zhang's bullets are so powerful that they can't be compared with ordinary spray-painted ducks to protest; Zhang's actions have caused serious harm to social order and public security, and his violation of the law is the lightest crime listed in the control of firearms, ammunition and knives with a penalty of more than five years, and he is afraid that he will not escape the fate of heavy sentence. Lawyer SIH,HAN-DE, who used to be the Chief Prosecutor, Taiwan Taipei District Prosecutor's Office, also believes that Zhang Nan's violent protest by shooting to vent his dissatisfaction is very dangerous, and it also causes harm to public safety. It is absolutely impossible to gain social recognition and should be stopped. It also makes him afraid of committing the felony of gun crime. WENG,WEI-LUN and SIH,HAN-DE both said that if there are different opinions on government administration, there are many ways to express them, and it is absolutely not allowed to intimidate the public or shoot out. Government agencies need to strengthen measures to contact a large number of citizens Wang, Po-Chi, an associate professor of the Department of Criminal Justice of Ming Chuan University, is worried that there are many citizens in contact with government agencies, and if innocent people are injured, it will be out of control. The chances of imitation effect caused by several shootings are not low. Similar units and departments must strengthen their measures, and even whether the glass should be upgraded to bulletproof can be included in the discussion. In addition, evacuation drills for personnel must start now. Scholar: Severe punishment can stop unhealthy practices. Wang, Po-Chi also pointed out that the investigation result of this case will become a precedent for similar cases in the future, and the punishment will be one of the means to curb unhealthy practices. To put it simply, if the punishment is severe enough, it will have the effect of setting an example for others. Another senior criminal police officer said that the use of strong means to express dissatisfaction existed in the past, such as the famous rice bomber, but there are hundreds of problems for everyone, so it is very difficult to really prescribe the right medicine. For example, the rice bomber is trying to highlight farmers' problems. However, the Zheng Jie case has also attracted public attention, but it highlights Zheng Jie's own mental illness. The case is different and the prevention is very difficult.
