The Wanhua Branch of the Taipei City Police Department has been reported 13 times this year because of the gay bar "Commander D Red Mansion Commander" within its jurisdiction. The police went to investigate on the 3rd of this month with a search ticket, but it was discovered that the law enforcement officers had inappropriate words and deeds, causing an uproar. Citizen groups even accused the police of discriminatory law enforcement. However, many local residents believed that the bar violated the law first and sent flower baskets to the Ximending police station in the jurisdiction today to support the police's law enforcement.
The police pointed out that this search operation was due to multiple reports. The police collected evidence, reported to the prosecutor for command, and applied to the court for search ticket approval before execution.

The police were later accused of inappropriate remarks made by officers that day. Taipei City Police Chief Lin Yantian also held a press conference to explain the punishment. Four police officers who had inappropriate words and deeds were given two reprimands. The Wanhua Branch Investigation Captain who led the team that day was given one minor demerit. The Wanhua Branch Chief also applied for disciplinary sanctions and two reprimands.
The person in charge of the bar, surnamed Zhong, also held a press conference yesterday. In addition to questioning the many inappropriate remarks made by the police on the day of the investigation, he also accused the police of deliberately shining the headlights of a police motorcycle on employees when they went for an inspection at the end of July.
In this regard, the Wanhua Police Station said that on the evening of July 29 this year, the police went to the bar to inspect the bar. The police did not intentionally shine the motorcycle lights on the clerk. The store said that the flashing light was actually the warning light equipped on the police patrol motorcycle.
After the incident has been going on for many days, many netizens have recently been unable to stand it anymore and have taken photos of past Internet incidents where customers of the store claimed that the bar was "crazy for fun" and there were even many explicit images and pictures related to the incident. Many netizens believe that the inappropriate words and deeds of police officers are one thing, but the police have already punished them, and the inappropriate words and deeds of a small number of police officers do not "exempt" the bar from being reported for a long time, and the police have indeed found out that there are violations of moral standards.
