Caught 433 items and detained 432 cars in 6 days

The new road traffic management penalty regulations went on the road on the 31st of last month. The new law not only increases the amount of fines, but also includes the confiscation of drug-driving vehicles regardless of who owns them. It also requires preventive revocation of the driver's license of drug users and punishes passengers for sitting together. According to statistics from the Traffic Section of the Police Department, during the six days from the enforcement to the 5th of this month, 433 cases of drug-impaired driving were seized, including 40 cases of refusing to be tested. An average of 72 drug-driving cases were seized every day, demonstrating the government's determination to strengthen the crackdown on drug-driving. In addition, 432 cars and motorcycles were confiscated in the past six days, and one vehicle was unable to be confiscated on site because it refused to be inspected and escaped.

Regardless of whether you are the car owner or not, you will not be allowed in.

Among the special cases seized, on the 2nd of this month, the New Taipei City Police Department discovered a Mercedes-Benz parked on the yellow mesh line while performing patrol duties in Banqiao District. An interrogation found that the 45-year-old driver named Huang had a drug record, was in poor mental condition, and did not have a driver's license. In addition, he saw the police officer looking nervous. After interrogation, Huang said that he smelled the smoke of amphetamine drugs smoked by his friend at his friend's house three or four days ago.

At the request of the police, Huang agreed to cooperate with the drug saliva rapid screening test, and the result was positive. He then prepared a ticket, confiscated the vehicle and seized the license plate in accordance with the regulations. He was taken back on the spot to make a record and collect urine for testing. After questioning, he was transferred to the New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office for investigation on the basis of drug and public danger crimes.

On the 4th of this month, the New Taipei City Police Department was on patrol in Sanchong District and found a white rental car that was running against the red line. The police stopped the driver and found that the driver, Xie Nan, was in a trance. The police suspected that Xie Nan was driving dangerously. With Xie Nan's consent, they administered a saliva drug rapid screening test on him. The results showed positive results for the first-level drug etomidate and the second-level drug amphetamine. The police arrested him for public danger crimes and also seized etomidate cartridges and other items. The whole case was transferred to the office and confiscated in the vehicle.
