Xinhua News Agency, Nanning, May 10th: Combating illegal refitting, compacting platform responsibilities and strengthening youth education — — Follow-up investigation on the illegal problem of "street bombing" by special treatment in many places
Xinhua News Agency reporters Chen Yifan, Huang Qinggang and Xu Haitao.
Racing "racing" disrupts traffic order, noise "street bombing" seriously disturbs people, and "cocking" shows off skills and threatens safety … … Since the end of last year, public security organs in Guangxi, Guangdong, Chongqing, Zhejiang and other places have successively launched special actions to deal with the illegal problem of "street bombing" and intensified the crackdown on related illegal and criminal acts.
Xinhua News Agency reporters’ follow-up investigation found that there are deep-seated reasons behind the frequent and intractable problems of "racing cars" in some places: illegally transforming the interest chain of electric vehicles and motorcycles; Some online short video platforms are not strictly reviewed, and they are used by illegal personnel to broadcast live and advertise for profit. What is particularly alarming is that some minors are often easily influenced by "racing" offenders of similar age and go astray.
Racing "blowing up the street" and "tilting the head" and illegally modifying it seriously endanger safety and disturb the people.
Throttle boom, whizzing by, double-lined, holding high the mobile phone … … In Nanning, Guangxi, some illegal people drive illegally modified vehicles on the street from time to time to "blow up the street" while webcasting. The bottom of the viaduct of Qingxiang Expressway in Nanning is one of the gathering places for them to show off their skills. The reporter once saw on the short video platform that there are often people "cocking their heads" and there are still many people watching.
Recently, the Nanning police carried out special rectification in this area, investigated and dealt with 150 suspects who were suspected of "bombing the street" in accordance with the law, and seized 73 electric vehicles suspected of illegal modification and unlicensed, 35 motorcycles illegally modified and illegally restricted, and 4 cars illegally modified and unlicensed. Police in Guilin, Hechi and other places have also carried out special rectification of such problems.
Related illegal acts seriously undermine traffic order and harm others and themselves. On April 5, several people in Nanning "cocked their heads" without helmets and crashed into the fence, and one person died on the spot. Local citizens told reporters that illegal drivers are often accompanied by dangerous behaviors such as changing lanes frequently, chasing racing and even "turning their heads" during speeding, which seriously threatens the safety of other vehicles and drivers.
Relevant illegal acts violate the regulations on vehicle use management, causing serious safety hazards. Su Yanyan, deputy head of the accident handling brigade of the traffic police detachment of Wuzhou Public Security Bureau, told the reporter that many of the vehicles used by the illegal personnel were "black cars" without licenses and procedures, and most of them were illegally modified, which had great security risks. "Modification of wiring damage can easily lead to ignition explosion and short-circuit spontaneous combustion. Dismantling the speed limiting device and refitting the motor, controller, suspension system and other components can easily lead to the loss of control of the vehicle during driving, resulting in sideslip and rollover accidents. "
In addition, due to the pursuit of "street bombing" effect, illegal personnel often illegally remove the muffler device of vehicles, which leads to a loud roar of vehicles during night racing and seriously interferes with the normal life and rest of residents. "Sometimes I am suddenly awakened by the harsh roar at night." Ms. He, a citizen of Nanning said.
The deep-seated reasons for the difficulty in controlling the illegal problem of racing.
The police said that "it is difficult to cut off the roots and easy to relapse" is the key difficulty in controlling the illegal problem of motor racing. The reporter found that the deep-seated reasons for this difficulty are the interest chain of illegally modified vehicles, lax supervision of online platforms, and the difficulty in the education and management of young offenders.
Illegally refitting an electric car can make a profit of several thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, which has become an important means for unscrupulous businessmen to make profits. An illegal person arrested by the police in Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County, Guangxi, said that he could "soar" to nearly 200 km/h after illegally modifying an electric motorcycle, which cost 34,000 yuan. Some maintenance businesses will sell spare parts needed for modification and provide modification services for free. For those who are going to buy parts online for self-assembly, or buy the whole machine and then buy accessories for self-modification, some unscrupulous merchants provide them with venues, tools and technical guidance for a fee. These shops are scattered, and some "sell dog meat by hanging sheep’s heads" and get customers by word of mouth; Others openly advertise on short video platforms such as Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok.
On platforms such as Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok, some accounts are still broadcasting live or uploading videos of illegal acts of racing and showing off their skills for profit. The reporter once watched a live broadcast of "street bombing": at two o’clock in the morning, more than 5,000 people watched it online. The more illegal the driver showed off his skills, the more enthusiastic the cheers on the spot, and the more online rewards. Police investigators revealed that behind such activities, it is not excluded that there are online companies as promoters of marketing to gain eyeballs and make profits.
The reporter saw that some of these short videos were praised more than 100,000 times, and there was a lot of content in the comment area, and some people claimed to imitate learning.
What is particularly alarming is that the participants in such illegal acts tend to be younger. Not long ago, Guilin police found that three unlicensed electric vehicles were "tilted" and the illegal owners were only 17 years old. Hechi police seized six modified cars for drag racing near a middle school in the jurisdiction. The owners were between the ages of 13 and 15, all of them were middle school students.
The police said that the self-proclaimed "ghost-fire teenagers" were mainly teenagers, including junior high school students and other minors. When the relevant departments enforce the law, they often focus on informing parents, relatives or schools for education, which also leads to insufficient deterrence, and relevant personnel repeatedly violate the law.
The reporter saw on the short video platform that a "online celebrity" who had just been punished by the police for illegally racing and showing off his skills recently began to release such videos openly.
Collaborative innovation and law enforcement to ensure the "flameout" of drag racing as soon as possible
Up to now, many places in the country have carried out special rectification activities for illegal activities such as "bombing the street". Since April 29th, the traffic patrol in Kaizhou, Chongqing has continuously carried out the special rectification action of "street bombing", and strictly investigated and dealt with more than 130 illegal acts of "street bombing", noise disturbing people, unlicensed and unlicensed motorcycle assembly and scrapping, including 7 cases of "street bombing", 9 high-powered motorcycles seized, 6 cases of illegal modification and 10 cases in driving without a license. Shenzhen traffic police and multi-police and multi-departments cracked down on 39 "street-bombing" drag racing gangs, investigated and dealt with 2416 suspects of various crimes, imposed administrative penalties on 17 illegally modified stores, and seized 1675 vehicles involved in illegal modification. The police in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang Province have also launched a special rectification campaign and collected clues from the general public.
Zhao Jingwu, an associate professor at the School of Law of Beihang University, suggested that we should strengthen the coordination of various departments, innovate scientific and technological supervision means, strengthen the source management, and carry out the whole chain strike and carry out normalization rectification by improving and perfecting the effective system and mechanism of managing people and vehicles, improving the supervision efficiency of big data, and adjusting the punishment according to law. Not only should we effectively deter the direct participants of motorcycle racing, but we must also effectively control the illegal businesses that provide illegal modification facilities for motorcycle electric vehicles.
Zhao Jingwu also stressed that the problem of illegal racing is directly related to the supervision of short video platforms on the Internet. A large number of illegally modified advertisements and illegal racing videos on the Internet short video platform have obviously touched the current legal bottom line of Internet content management and should bear corresponding legal responsibilities. Relevant platforms should strengthen supervision and audit from the perspective of protecting social public safety, and ensure good access and content. Once relevant illegal acts are found, they should provide clues to relevant departments in time and remove relevant content.
Experts remind that young offenders in related cases often have practical problems, such as lack of family care, misguided friends, and improper education. Wei Wanqing, a professor at the School of Public Administration of Guangxi University, believes that we should focus on the psychological and emotional needs of teenagers, especially minors and just adults, strengthen educational guidance and psychological counseling, and guide them to cultivate reasonable ways to vent their emotions.
The police reminded that families, schools and all walks of life should increase the intensity of legal popularization and safety education warnings to improve the legal awareness and safety awareness of young people.
