When Shao Nan was transferred to the Beijing Prosecutor's Office in the afternoon, he shouted, "The judiciary is dead! Administrative abuse of power! The government forces the people to rebel!" (provided by readers)
The 53-year-old taxi driver surnamed Shao was dissatisfied with losing his third consecutive lawsuit. Early this morning, he drove a small yellow painted with the words "Judiciary is Dead" and crashed into the gate of the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office. Fortunately, no casualties were caused. The police transferred him for investigation on suspicion of obstructing official duties and other crimes. After the prosecutor resumed the interrogation, he was ordered to post a bail of 100,000 yuan in the evening for obstructing official duties and intimidating the public.
When Shao Nan was transferred to the Beijing Prosecutor's Office in the afternoon, he shouted, "The judiciary is dead! Administrative abuse of power! Officials are forcing the people to rebel!" When reporters asked if he regretted it, he said that all the procedures that should have been followed were gone, "including the Supervisory Yuan, retrial, retrial, retrial, and then dismissed."
Police investigation revealed that Shao Nan first parked his taxi opposite the Beijing Checkpoint early this morning, got out of the car and moved the guardrail at the driveway entrance, then returned to the driver's seat and drove towards the North Checkpoint gate, causing the door frame to deform and the glass to crack. After receiving the report, the First Branch of the Zhongzheng Branch arrived, arrested him on the spot and seized the vehicle. After testing, he was ruled out of drunk driving and drug driving. The whole case was transferred to the Beijing Municipal Prosecutor's Office for investigation on suspicion of obstructing official duties, intimidating the public, and causing damage.
It is understood that Shao Nan has been involved in 3 criminal cases in recent years. The first case stemmed from the fact that his father died of illness after being hospitalized in Taipei Wing General Hospital in 2017. Shao Nan questioned the medical treatment. In addition to hanging banners outside the hospital such as "Scorn human life" and "Intubation until death", he also posted on social networking sites criticizing the attending physician. Therefore, he was sued for defamation.
The Shilin District Prosecutor's Office originally decided not to prosecute, but changed the decision to prosecution after the defendant requested reconsideration and sent it back. The court found that the remarks exceeded the scope of reasonable comments and was sentenced to 50 days of detention for the crime of spreading defamation, with a fine to be determined by Yi Ke. Shao Nan believed that he was just seeking justice for his father, and he refused to accept the change from non-prosecution to prosecution and the sentence.
The second case occurred in June 2018. Shao Nan was driving a taxi on Tingzhou Road in Taipei City when he collided with a female rider who was about to turn right. The Taipei District Court found him not guilty in the first instance after examining the monitor and other evidence. After the case was appealed, the High Court in the second instance held that Shao Nan had seen the female rider on the left side and failed to pay attention to her driving movements. He was also at fault for the accident. The sentence was reversed and commuted to 20 days' detention, and Yike's fine was determined.
In the third case, in December 2023, Shao Nan was driving on Baoqiao Road in New Taipei City. When changing lanes to the right, he collided with a motorcycle behind him, causing injuries to the rider. The North Court sentenced him to three months in prison for negligent injury and received a fine from Yike. Shao Nan appealed, arguing that there were still doubts about the driving recorder data and accident identification, and requested further investigation. The High Court still rejected the appeal, and the whole case was finalized on the 1st of this month.
Before the verdict was finalized, Shao Nan had painted protest slogans on his taxi and wrote on social networking sites such words as "Everything is ready, all we need is east wind" and "Ready for big things." Yesterday, he drove around the new judicial building. The police stationed at the Judicial Yuan noticed something strange and reported it. The police once called to understand his appeal. Early this morning, he went to Beijing again, first moved the driveway guardrail, and then drove into the gate. Afterwards, he uploaded photos of the scene to social networking sites and wrote "Island skylight" and "Judicial is dead, dawn."
