License plate missing one screw, but Sanmen Gorge traffic police insist on fining 2000 yuan. Which country's traffic law is this?
From Mop:
Everyone pay attention. In the future, it is best to not pass by the Henan Sanmen Gorge when driving, because it is very likely you will be robbed by the local traffic police.
A Beijing driver drove pass the Henan Sanmen Gorge, and probably as a result of his new car’s rear license plate screws having been jolted off, he was incredibly fined 2000 yuan by the local traffic police. What more, no ticket whatsoever was issued. Incredibly, when the driver did not have the cash, the local traffic police violently robbed the car’s onboard GPS and other car electronics.
Because of missing one screw, Sanmen Gorge traffic police fined me 2000 yuan!!
Sanmen Gorge police officer with a cigarette always in his mouth, his uniform untidy.
His cigarette does not leave his mouth.
Henan Sanmen Gorge traffic police, uniform untidy, smell of alcohol, mouth full of foul words like “What is so TMD niubi about you Beijing people, ” extending his arm to hit people!! Also said, “Wherever you complain to, I am not afraid,” even this kind of scum is suitable for being the people’s servant?
Top: After robbing my car, the second car was also robbed, also without a written ticket, license plate number CN6095.
Bottom: Sanmen Gorge traffic police on duty blocking the road robbing the people’s property, forcing entry into the car stealing my 1500 yuan GPS electronic navigation system! For a private citizen to steal 1500 yuan property, it would constitute a crime and be sentenced as robbery, so is it acceptable for a police to steal things?? If the police was enforcing the law by confiscating property, he should still issue a confiscation note, but after the Sanmen Gorge traffic police officer stole from within my car he just said it was confiscated, that it was their’s, and no paperwork was issued, so is this not wearing official’s clothes to steal??!!
This is what China’s Henan Sanmen Gorge traffic police have done. I ask everyone and the media to pay attention to China’s traffic law police officers. This kind of police, are they still the people’s servants? My car documents were all complete, and they were unable to find anything I had done wrong, yet they insisted on saying I broke the law and must pull over, finding me 200 yuan, and docking 6 points! The person who issued the ticket was a Henan Sanmen Gorge traffic officer — Du Xiaofeng. At the time this matter was witnessed by many people with their own eyes, and all of them can testify for me. There were Shanxi people, Henan people, Beijing people, Dongbei people, and if there is news media who wants news, these people can all come testify, testify this matter.
If there is news media who wants to make this news, please contact me

Chinese society, anything and everything is possible.
夹了B海捣:
Aren’t they niubi? Even if your anger forces out your piss, it is still however much they want, not a penny less. You probably usually think you are niubi, but that is because you haven’t met “niu lao er” [someone more niubi than niubi], and once you do, you are fucked like everyone else.
Killaz:
The moment you investigate, that police who took your things because he could not fine you will inevitably be yet another one of those legendary “temporary workers.” [Legendary because many companies and departments blame their mistakes and problems on "temporary workers."]
西門丁:
Yep, already investigated, it was a “temporary worker” who did it.
冲动的小牛:
Even if you human flesh search, it will still be a “temporary worker.”

You even dare to go to Henan? Ni zhuang B zhuang da le! [You were too cocky/were in over your head]!
When I was in college, a Henan schoolmate once said something to me that was enough to completely shock me.
He said: In our Nanyang, even if it is a plane flying over, we will still use a bamboo pole to stab it down to collect 10 kuai toll!!!
Even if half of it is false, it was as if a lightning bolt struck me into a small piece of charcoal!
谎言…:
Even if this post topic were made known to a relevant authority/department, we still would not know when something would be done. Sigh…harmonious Chinese society!!!
波音747手扶拖拉机:
Those in freight transport all know, they most fear going through Henan, with someone to collect a toll every every short distance. However, they are very easy to get rid of, 20 kuai is enough to settle it. If it is ordinary people [not police], it is also impossible to avoid them because some will even put a corpse on the road to ask for money or intentionally cause small traffic accidents. I truly am afraid of Henan.
蓝色雪茄:
I am in transport, and what I know is that every long-distance driver must have a clear driver’s license sheath/cover. After traffic police stop them, they put 200-500 yuan inside the driver’s license sheath/cover to give to them and then they can go. You can all ask long-distance drivers, the Henan area is especially formidable/common.
打你何须用包子【齐鲁豪杰】:
I have been to Henan before and I do not slander different areas of China, because there are many places in China that are very bad.
But you Henan people are the most formidable people I have ever met.
就爱喝红茶:
I am from Henan. Henan peasants, laborers, employees are all good people. It is those police and government officials who are bad people. If you do not believe me, you can come check for yourself. Drive on over here. Those so-called “people’s servant” traffic police, as long as they see your out of town license plate and even if you have all your paperwork in order, will still be able to find a reason to fine you. I detest those so-called civil servants. When I see them on the streets, I really want to run them over.

Have him return the stolen property, then compensate a little for mental distress damages. Then sentence him to prison in accordance with the law, so that he remembers [his crime].
走在祖国的大地上:
You need to capture a clear picture of that person in order to do anything, as well as video of him taking your money and stealing your things.
Only these can be considered evidence! Otherwise, you can talk forever and no one will heed you!
I support you! I hope you can get back your GPS system soon, as well as get back your dignity!!

Why is it that when they tried Yang Jia (the murderer of six police officers in Shanghai) someone shouted: Hero Yang Jia. I finally understand.
荣小而:
I do not believe it, even if you beat me to death! I often drive around alone. I often go to Henan, Sichuan, Chongqing, and other places, and I have never encountered or experienced any similar situation! I myself am also a Beijing person, and non-locals are generally all very good. I have not encountered anything similar to this.
雄风1:
Niubi Beijing people finally meet a bandit police officer, good! Beijing people bullying waidiren, has this been forgotten? I have continuously been in Beijing, over 10 years now, and have seen waidiren been bullied too many times now. One word: Deserved! If I were back in my hometown and I saw you, you would also be screwed.

Running into a Henan person, just consider yourself unlucky!
This post and posts about this were deleted from all of the major big popular BBS forums. It is possible that the government told them to do so or maybe it is to prevent human flesh search. It is also possible the original poster deleted the post himself.

LoL, wtf. I keep my Google Reader up almost all the time and I still get beat to the punch? Aw.
I’m a little confused as to why the guy is singling out just one cop when the pictures seem to indicate there were quite a few of them around, ostensibly allowing this one cop to extort and steal the man’s GPS. Wouldn’t it make sense to finger all of them and get them all in trouble instead of just one guy if they were all complicit?
LoL, the comments really evidence a lot of the regional stereotypes in China. I have to admit that I’m not too keen on visiting Henan anytime soon after reading this, LoL.
The anti-Japanese sentiment was expected from the military forum of China.com but I’m a little surprised about seeing it from Mop. Actually, no, I’m not. They’re a bunch of hooligans usually. The “Japanese car = halved sympathy” was pretty amusing for its simplicity though, LoL.
Why are you ragging on all of mop based on one comment? I guess this is what you’d expect from a Shanghainese…BOOM!
Disclaimer: Disregard if you’re not from Shanghai.
LoL, what the random. I’m not ragging on Mop. Judging by the content I’ve seen from Mop here, they do seem like a bunch of hooligans. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t like them overall, because I actually do. They’re usually really funny. Now, had I said they were a bunch of assholes…
sorry, but what’s “Mop”?
Mop is Mop.com. See the post.
“He drives a foreign car so he doesn’t deserve sympathy,,” pathetic. Reverse the statement and noone in the world deserves any sympathy for anything that might happen to them because they own Chinese products, or American products, or Spanish products, or,,, Get a grip and lose some of this misguided uber nationalistic thinking. The problem here is a case of highway robbery,, not that some people buy foreign cars,, even if it is a (Oh my God) Japanese one.
Never underestimate a Chinese person’s penchant for taking the piss out on the Japanese whenever an opportunity presents itself. That said, many times it’s said more in jest than true rabid nationalism. Some crowds or Chinese forums are worse than others, though.
National hatred is what feeble-minded people cling on to when they have nothing in their own culture worth celebrating.
Regarding the article, I’m glad there’s more exposure of things like this on the internet. But police extortion like this happens in every country and every society, it’s hardly newsworthy.
I’ve never been to Henan but I’ve heard bad things about it. At the mention of that place people will give looks.
This is also a sharp contrast to what I experience in Shanghai. The traffic police pulled us over outside a night club and asks the driver to take a breath-alizer test, however the driver refuses. The police allow the driver to leave the car, take the test an 1.5 hours later after several bottles of water (and possibly puking). I was surprised as most police anywhere would not allow this. The result is that we passed and the roads made safer thanks to these honest cops.
I dunno man. On one hand, they were nice to the driver and, by virtue of keeping the driver off the road for 1.5 hours, they minimized his potential drunk driving threat to himself and others during that time. On the other hand, their leniency wasn’t really “upholding” a law that exists for a very good reason, and their job is indeed to uphold and enforce the law. Drunk driving is common after a night of drinking in Shanghai, and that’s not really a good thing to be lenient on.
Roads were made safer because next time he knows he can get drunk and still pass a breathalyser.
Am I missing some sarcasm here?
what is the average income of a traffic cop in Henan? doesn’t he get more than the average joe?. protection money racket
Chinos robbing Chinos, its a vicious circle!!!! I can’t say I feel sorry for any of them. I had a friend get his property “confiscated” during transport. He had to pay almost 3 G’s US to get it back. Jack Cafferty was right, nothing but a bunch of thieves and hooligans
what is so suprising..I was literally “robbed” in Henan during just before Chinese New year. This happen in Huang He park and ShaoLin Temple. The tricks these henan people use were superb I must say. So those of you who intend to visit Henan…THINK TWICE.
Most of the business scams also come out of Henan so it must be a tradition.
As a foreigner, this is exactly why I don’t drive in China. If they pulled over a foreigner in Henan, they’d probably shit themselves with glee.
No, they’d shit on you with glee =)
I had a feeling that Fuana’s english is really CHIGLISH sometimes! i’m sorry but it’s ture
Well first of all Fauna is Chinese. Actually I must admit that I like the style she’s using in her translations. You really “feel” the Chinese under the English, a bit like the English translation of the “Three Kingdoms” (Sanguo Yanyi).
“His cigarette does not leave his mouth.”
CHINGLISH!
LMAO, how would you translate it, dumbass!
Police in big cities are alright but the remote suburban ones are feral thugs, they run their roads like private club.
My uni-mate was from Harbin, he told me the local police are obsessed with fining non-local vehicles, with reasons as absurd as hygiene.
and I bet 1800 of the 2000 went to the town chief.
This is ultimatly why the current China will fail…..no ability of the people to hold the civil servents accountable.
The fine was too low, there’s far too many driving around (often dangerously) with no plates at all!
Chop off their goolies……..
This looks suspicious and contradictory: at the beginning, the OP said the police fined him 2000RMB because of a missing screw but he mentioned no ticket were given. However, at the end of the article, he said he was only fined 200RMB and the reason was 违章停车(illegal parking, not translated but ChinaSMACK) and a ticket was issued.
He photoshopped his own car’s plate but why gave out that of another car? I believe highway police can’t take cash payment of fine and 2000RMB is not a small amount of money that people usually carry with themselves, so how possible that “when the driver did not have the cash, the local traffic police violently robbed the car’s onboard GPS and other car electronics”?
Considering that Fauna is Chinese, and English is presumably not her first language, her translation is actually not too bad. At least, readers have been able to understand her translations in various posts, enough to post comments…and even fight. I suppose if there is a similar site in America, Britain, Canada, that jerk might well be writing Amerinese, Britnese, Cananese in that order.
It seems that some people don’t like Fauna. I guess it’s because she comes across to not a few people as some Shanghainese woman with a reputation which stinks all over China, and people must be seriously thinking that the girl in “China does not have any suitable bla bla bla” is none other than Fauna herself. hehe.
I think my humble comments will be deleted again…and I am going to get a mouthful from her. 你奈我何。
I’m sorry but it’s true…
You’re one to talk… it’s CHINGLISH, not CHIGLISH.
Billy Joel…
Even though I hate you as an “artist” you are right about the shitting.
“His cigarette does not leave his mouth.”
I thinks it sound very artistic, the cigarette becomes self-aware, it does not want to leave his mouth and there is nothing he can do about it… It’s like a drama on modern age, he became prisoner of his addiction, his addiction has taken control over him and the corrupted part of his mind is projected onto the cigarette…
Ok, Ok, I’ll stop…
Both Chiglish and Chinglish are correct. Chinese English. It depends on whether or not you want to keep the “n”
American Chinese = Anerinese, Amernese
British Chinese = Britnese, Brinese
Canadian Chinese = Cananese, Cannese
Ummm how did we start talking about this? Whoever made this website deserves a day in a spa. Question? Does all reporting on the government get done by internet people? I’ve seen investigative journalism only towards civilians. If the media doesn’t investigate the government wont all criticism be like the above story, possibly untrue and sorta unfocused venting?
That’s a good question. I get the feeling the official, er traditional, media tends to only investigate the government when the people have already complained enough to make it into an unavoidable issue. A lot of that complaining gets traction on the internet.
Now, I’m not saying all journalists or all traditional media consciously avoids investigating and negatively reporting on the government, but I do feel like the internet has been a significant driving force.
You’re right that “citizen journalism” isn’t always reliable. After all, there have been “untrue” things reported by both the people and by the official media. However, when most people in China are already skeptical of “official” and “professional” journalism, citizen journalism is an important alternative to pay attention to. Ultimately, each person needs to evaluate the information for himself and make his own judgments.
Police have been very reasonable and lenient when I’ve had to deal with them. In fact, from what I’ve seen, police only seem to get ‘out of hand’ when someone tries to be all loud and obnoxious to them, or make demands of them, then they really crack the whip and break people down. Since many people with a little cash or friends in ’some kinda position’ feel they’re above the law, they tend to have the most attitude towards cops, and as a result, get the biggest fuckin beatdowns (figuratively, mostly) possible.
I’m quite happy with police in China.
Question here is WHY does a new car have one screw missing and no screw cover cap on the other? Possibly not the plate registered to that car? Trying to avoid road fines by using a fake license number?
Always two sides to a story…
1. Unless the cops have everything on a central database (which they do not) they should STFU. If they had him for something bigger they would have hauled him in and made him sweat for DAYS.
2. 200rmb is the fine for running a red light in SHANGHAI… not the fine for having a screw missing in shitsplat Henan.
3. Innocent till PROVEN guilty.
You ever hear of that you Sinosapsuckingcommieshitturd?
Your appalling lack of logic deserves a giant STFU!!!
4. “WHY does a new car have one screw missing and no screw cover cap on the other?”
MADE IN CHINA. Ring a bell? Assembled in China….etc…
Hmm…
Just give me an opinion here: As a Scandinavian “white” 40′ish westerner, if I decided to roam a little around in China by motorcycle or a car to explore a little. Can I expect as soon I leave the urban areas to get mugged like that by the police or be left alone since I am a foreigner?
Or is it Henan alone or do we have some classic areas to always avoid?
I have recently visited Beijing and Xiamen/Zhangzhou in Fujian a couple of times and felt good so far. Zhangzhou is not exactly crowded with Westerners so you get a look or two but it was mostly curious looks..
So any ideas how it really is?
@Vtraveller
I have travelled to almost all the major cities in China without getting mugged by the police. Like most Chinese, the police (being Chinese themselves) are very polite and hospitable towards foreigners. But call it your unlucky day if you come across one such policeman who tries to extort some money from you, thinking that you are white and therefore you must be rich and a few hundred yuan isn’t going to hurt you. It hardly happens, as far as I know.
Relax and enjoy China as much as I did, mate.
@Vtraveller
Forgot to directly address the gist of your concern. I have also travelled to the small towns/villages. I found lots of either very old people or very young children there. Those in the middle left for the big cities to work. So, I am not sure if you should be the one who’s afraid. (Qualifier: Maybe with the current economic situation, you might see them again, since they are now without a job and have returned)
As for the police, if you want to see them, you got to go to the police station. They are all very busy there, doing nothing. So, count it another of your unlucky day, if you meet one of them along the road.
I will be visiting some friends in Kunshan tomorrow, and I know I am safe, with or without my Chinese friends around.
smickno, Kunshan, eh? I’ve got an uncle working for Foxconn in Kunshan. You should swing by Shanghai (not far) and we can arm-wrestle or something. ;)
BTW, VTraveller, smickno is right. It’s generally pretty safe in most of China as long as you’re aware of your surroundings. I would only caution you to be wary of pickpockets around areas densely crowded by migrant workers such as train stations. Other than that, you’ll want to avoid possible scams by opportunists who, like smickno said, think its okay because you’re a rich foreigner who can spare the cash. Good luck and hope you have fun!
what are you guys talk about, shanghai/china it is one of safest place in the world
i live in South Africa, you will know what is really dangerous
FangYao, what do you mean? Both of us are saying that Shanghai/China is pretty safe.
From reading the original Chinese post, I feel the Beijing guy isn’t telling the full story. It feels like as if he has a fake plate, and police extort him for money rather arrest him for have a fake plate.
@kai
Arm wrestling is for fcuk da lu ren, who claims that he has a black belt, and we know he only arm wrestles when he is not surrounded by Black Americans in Los Angeles or thirty or so Chinese in Chengdu.
I will be taking a train （动车） from Nanjing to Kunshan, and back. From there, I will make my way to Hong Kong by Dragon Air. It’s a pretty tight schedule, so I shan’t be able to stop over in Shanghai. Anyway, thanks for your hand of friendship. As I correctly told Vtraveller, Chinese are quite polite and hospitable people, and I hope he is reading this.
Kai, you are an imbecile! I am a troll and I want to be a troll, a fucking troll. I don’t enjoy exchanging niceties with you or anybody. Don’t think that by straightening you panties and putting a human/humane face to your message, you’re going to change me. I will only disappear and come back in another incarnation. Look out for it, and spot the speech patterns. I think a fake name like Fauna might be good. Fauna vs Kai.
smickno, I wouldn’t say it was a hand of friendship. As with FDLR, I’ve simply progressed to seeing past your antics. It is more fun to imagine you squirming because we’re not responding to your trolling as you expect.
I admit, I don’t know what part of your ego is so starved that you feel compelled to troll on the internet anonymously behind a keyboard in the first place, but I can’t stop it and Fauna can’t either…unless she’s some sort of genius hacker (which I highly doubt) or just turns off commenting entirely (like ESWN). I reckon she’ll go on to ignoring you whenever she doesn’t feel like outwitting and exposing you, despite your attempts to provoke a response. I imagine she trusts most people here to see through you as well.
Of course, it is still unfortunate for everyone to have to put up with your immaturity and your promise to continually harass this website with new sock puppet fake identities. However, I’ve been here long enough to know you’re not the first and you won’t be the last. As before, we’ll just have to manage.
Anyway, have fun in Kunshan and Hong Kong. Enjoy one of those deliciously simple toasts with condensed milk for me. They’re wonderfully fattening. ;)
Sorry, upon review, that response could be interpreted as provoking a response from smickno simply by referring to his trollish behavior. It was unintentional and I promise to avoid doing so again.
