A man in New Taipei City reported a crime to the police station a few days ago, saying that he was kidnapped in a mountainous area, tortured and his bag was thrown away. The police applied for a warrant to find the suspect, but the suspect was at a loss. After reviewing the surveillance cameras, it was found that the victim was talking and laughing with the other party on the road and could move freely. He was suspected of making false reports and may have violated the social security law.

Reporter Su Peiyu: "A man in New Taipei City came to the police station early in the morning to report that he had been abducted. He did not come to seek help until he was released in the early morning. The police expanded their surveillance surveillance because the man claimed that he had been abducted. This is the location where the police followed the lead and finally found the person who took the man away."

When a case of obstruction of freedom was reported, the police did not dare to be careless, because the 19-year-old man named Xie said that after being abducted, he was tortured and his mobile phone was taken away. He was so frightened that he filed a lawsuit against the person for obstruction of freedom and damage, etc. The police immediately After applying for a warrant, the accused suspect was found a few hours later. He emphasized that the victim got into the car on his own that day, and four people were chatting in the car. It turned out that the two had a debt dispute and were discussing how to repay the money.

The two sides gave completely different accounts. The victim also alleged that after being put into a car at his home in Shulin, New Taipei City, he was taken to a grave in Taoyuan and attacked, and then returned to the Three Gorges where he was tortured and then thrown away. The police expanded their surveillance surveillance and found that in the middle of the night The four people were talking and laughing while walking on the road. The man in the dark coat was the one who came to the police station to file a complaint. But looking at the picture, he could move freely and was not coerced into making a false report.

Senior criminal police officer: "Fabricating these untrue matters to the police may violate the Social Welfare Act. Article 67, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 3, may result in a detention of not more than three days, or a fine of not more than NT$12,000." "

The police emphasized that if they report a false case and cause trouble for the other party because of a personal dispute, they will also be punished. In addition, the suspect who is charged can also seek justice for himself.

Lawyer Li Yusheng: "Suppose the prosecutor believes that the complainant and the content of his complaint are a completely fictitious and non-existent fact, it may constitute a false accusation under criminal law."

Overnight, a large number of police officers came to the door. The accused man was confused. After taking the transcript, the police determined that there was no plot mentioned by the victim and they would continue to clarify the case. However, the police went around in a big circle, but finally found out that there was nothing wrong with him. It's voluntary, and I'm afraid it's a waste of social resources.
