On the morning of September 3, 2014, Heyang County, Anhui Province, held a public arrest conference to publicly approve the arrest of 30 criminal suspects in 13 cases involving organized crime, vice, drugs, gambling, and financial embezzlement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The main leaders of the four major teams of INFO County, the main responsible comrades of various departments, units and town offices, the secretaries of village branches and directors of village committees attended the conference, and more than 10,000 people stopped and watched. Coincidentally, on the morning of September 29, 2014, Hengshan County, Henan Province, held a huge public arrest meeting. The relevant person in charge of the county public security bureau issued a notice on the charges against more than 30 criminal suspects who had recently committed crimes in Hengshan, and announced the arrest decision of the criminal suspects respectively (Langzhong City brought migrant workers to show the public, which is famous throughout the country and is indignant, which is completely different).
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. Some people have said that "public arrests" are in vogue in all parts of our country at present, regardless of whether they are held in the north or south (south to Hainan and north to northeast) and whether the crimes are serious (from robbery and murder to brawls and indecency).
Since the popularization of the concept of the rule of law, there have been more and more doubts about the public arrest conference. Critics argue that from the perspective of the rule of law, there are at least the following problems: First, there is a lack of legal basis, and the Criminal Procedure Law does not give any organ the power to hold a "public arrest meeting" against a criminal suspect, and public power is only legitimate when it is explicitly authorized by law. Furthermore, the practice of the "Public Arrest Congress" is not in keeping with the spirit of the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, which states that convicted and unconvicted prisoners "should be kept as far as possible from the eyes and ears of the public and from any form of insult, curious gaze or propaganda" when they are sent to or removed from places of detention. We are trying to achieve the "rule of law", and the General Assembly of Public Arrests should prohibit it.
Zhu pointed out that the "public arrest meeting" is a very good way to mobilize citizens to fight crime on the premise of not violating the "hardware" of the relevant laws. The purpose of holding a "public arrest meeting" against people who are extremely angry with the people is to win the trust of the people and deter crime. Since this form is not prohibited by law, it can be controlled by the executive organs.
In Singapore, which is highly civilized, there is still a physical punishment that makes criminals fearful - flogging. Flogging is a form of torture used by few countries in the world. During the whipping, reporters from various newspapers went to take pictures, which were published in the newspapers the next day and spread throughout the country. In Singapore, more than 1,000 male offenders are sentenced to flogging every year. For at least 40 crimes, caning is a mandatory sentence (the sentence must be caned, not commuted), and the list of crimes for which caning is applicable is still being extended, including both felony crimes such as xx, robbery, and drug trafficking, as well as lesser crimes such as illegal possession of weapons (long knives, daggers, etc.), graffiti (including spraying paint on the wall or posting advertisements and posters on the wall for repeat offenders), etc.
In 1994, the eighteen-year-old American Michael? Fay was sentenced to flogging in Singapore for violating local laws, and then-US President Bill Clinton personally pleaded with Singaporean President Ong Teng Cheong. It's embarrassing that a president can intercede for a civilian. However, Singaporean President Ong Teng Cheong replied that Singapore is a country with an independent judiciary and that he, as president, can only respect judicial decisions. Singapore's cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, held a discussion and asked the court to consider whether Michael Fay could be deducted two lashes in the presence of US President Clinton. The court finally ruled that Michael Fay's sentence was reduced from six to four lashes. The president's plea for mercy does not exempt him from caning, so why is there so much opposition to the public approval of the arrest? Are they afraid?
In fact, for many criminals, for misdemeanors, extortion, harboring organizations, corruption, fraud, ************, etc., public arrest is really the best policy, because it has a strong deterrent effect. A criminal who was watched by everyone said: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm embarrassed, I won't dare next time -- we want this effect." Some people also say that criminals take risks and are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of publicity? Since we are not even afraid of death, we propose to advocate humanity, think about their recklessness and lack of humanity when committing crimes, are we "hot faces on cold butts". It is no wonder that some people say that the law protects the privacy of criminals because the drafters of the law want to leave a way out for themselves to avoid being paraded into the market in the future.
The public arrest conference should exist, but under the rule of law, not to mention that someone said, "If the law does not prohibit it, it can be done, and if the law does not authorize it, it will be prohibited." I hope that the law will authorize public arrests. Public arrest can let criminals get away with it because of mercy, but it can also save a lot of criminal hearts that are about to be moved because of deterrence.
Law-abiding citizens are least afraid of legal constraints. If Mr. Zhu Zhu also goes to **** one day, drug trafficking, corruption, bribery, extortion, murder and goods, then please drag me to the street.
