A 29-year-old man surnamed Zhang was driving a Maserati luxury car that was parked illegally and was driven away by the police. The police asked him to stop for inspection, but Zhang refused to be inspected and drove into the police, causing injuries to the deputy director of the police station surnamed Zeng. Zhang was dragged out of the car by the supporting police and was restrained and sent to prison. The Pingtung District Court believed that Zhang was contemptuous of public power and sentenced him to 1 year and 2 months in prison for obstructing the execution of official duties by driving a powered vehicle. He was also ordered to compensate the injured deputy director Zeng for more than 500,000 yuan. He can appeal.

In April last year, Zhang Nan drove a luxury car through Donggang Town and was asked to leave by the traffic police for illegally parking. Zhang Nan became dissatisfied and uttered nasty words to the police. The police asked Zhang to stop for inspection, but Zhang Nan ignored him and even reversed and accelerated towards the police. When Deputy Director Zeng, who was also maintaining traffic, saw this, he immediately stepped forward to provide support, but was hit by Zhang Nan on his left calf. The supporting police reportedly arrived at the scene and dragged Zhang Nan out of the car, subdued him, and sent him to custody. However, Zhang Nan was still arrogant and even called the dispatch department to "choke" him.

He also had a bad attitude after committing the crime and showed no regrets. He was sentenced to 1 year and 2 months in prison for the crime of obstructing the execution of official duties by driving a powered vehicle; left Mr. Zeng, whose calf was pinched, asked Mr. Zhang for compensation of 500,000 yuan for moral comfort and 3.5 million yuan for medical expenses. Since Mr. Zhang did not appear on the oral argument date and did not submit any statement or defense in the pleadings, the judge, in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, deemed Mr. Zhang to have confessed, and ruled that Mr. Zeng should be paid 500,350 yuan.
