The policeman who went into the village to call out the villagers for allegedly soliciting prostitutes was suspended from duty

On April 27, according to media reports, Mr. Li, a native of Honghua Town, Tancheng County, Linyi City, Shandong Province, complained, “On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, people from the police station drove a police car and used a megaphone to our village to announce that I was suspected of soliciting prostitution. The whole village knows."

On April 28, the relevant person in charge of the Publicity Office of the Tancheng County Public Security Bureau responded to the Red Star News reporter on this matter. Xie, a policeman from the Yangji Police Station involved, has been suspended. The police inspection department is conducting an investigation and will conduct it in accordance with the law and disciplines according to the situation. deal with.

The reporter asked whether it is legal and compliant to use a loudspeaker to shout "suspected of prostitution"? The staff member said that the Police Inspectorate will draw conclusions based on the results of the verification. If there is any further progress, we will promptly report it. "Mass supervision and media supervision are a good thing for public security law enforcement." the person in charge said.

According to reports, Mr. Li said that he was a truck driver and usually worked out of town. In late September 2023, he received a call from the police at the police station in the neighboring township of his hometown, saying that he had a transfer record from six months ago and was suspected of soliciting prostitution. A villager named Zuo from the same village contacted Mr. Li and said that his relative, Police Officer Xie, “can help with the matter.” Mr. Li once transferred money to Zuo, but Zuo did not receive it. Mr. Li insisted that he did not solicit prostitution and transferred the money because he did not want to make the matter bigger.

In the report, Mr. Li said that on the evening of February 3, he was summoned to the police station, and he still insisted that he had not solicited prostitution. After being detained for more than 20 hours, Mr. Li was released. An auxiliary police officer told him that he should take the initiative to go to the police station on New Year's Eve. On New Year's Eve, Mr. Li did not go to the police station. "They drove a police car to look for me in the village. They used the police megaphone in the car to call my name and said that I was suspected of soliciting prostitution. This was a great insult to my character." On February 13, two more cars were called to the police station. The police car went to the village to look for him again. It drove up and down the main road of the village with its siren on and called his name, saying that he was suspected of soliciting prostitution.

Mr. Li felt "shameless" and believed that his privacy and reputation rights had been seriously violated, so he reported it to the public security organs and relevant functional departments, hoping to safeguard his legitimate rights and interests.

Why did Zuo from the same village contact Mr. Li indirectly? The person in charge of the Publicity Office of the Tancheng County Public Security Bureau said that the police indeed failed to summon Mr. Li many times at that time. The police inspection department has obtained Zuo's information and is investigating. The specific situation will be announced later, and it is recommended to refer to the announcement.

Mr. Li is from Honghua Town. Why is the case handled by the Yangji Police Station in a neighboring town? In this regard, the above-mentioned person in charge explained that the case was initially discovered by the County Public Security Bureau. Since it was derived and involved multiple case clues, the County Public Security Bureau assigned it to the police station. This approach is not problematic.
