A father and daughter in Huangma, Liaoning, were arrested for assaulting a police officer after being stopped for medical treatment. How do you view this from a legal perspective?

From a legal perspective, the incident in which a father and daughter in Dandong, Liaoning Province attacked a police officer after being stopped from seeing a doctor due to a yellow code issue was a collision between judicial authority and public values. The father and daughter saw a doctor and had a run-in with the police. Hao Mouli was sentenced to administrative detention for 10 days because she did not cooperate with the police to stop her. Hao Moucheng was subject to criminal coercive measures on suspicion of assaulting a police officer. From a legal perspective, the pair of women should be administratively detained in accordance with the law because they violated local epidemic prevention regulations. This is the explanation given by the local Public Security Bureau.

But according to information on the Internet, the father and daughter should have been seen taking nucleic acid tests in the community that morning, and the local police should have stopped them after asking about the situation. Instead of being accommodating, they brutally adopted one-size-fits-all anti-epidemic measures. Assaulting a police officer refers to an act of violence against a police officer who is enforcing the law. As can be seen from the video, Hao Moucheng actually hit the police officer on duty in the face. Therefore, from a legal perspective, Hao Moucheng is suspected of assaulting a police officer and should be subject to criminal coercive measures.

However, the epidemic control took too long, causing great trouble to the local people. So after this incident, almost all the local people sided with the father and daughter who were seeing the doctor. From the perspective of judicial authority, the police should indeed discourage those who violate epidemic prevention regulations. This will be conducive to the early disappearance of the epidemic and the stability of society. However, it is difficult to see a doctor during the epidemic, which has become a big problem for everyone. Although the law is ruthless and law enforcement requires selflessness, the law serves people. But it can be seen from the video that after being knocked to the ground, the police quickly asked passers-by if they had taken the video.

Although the law is ruthless and law enforcement requires fairness, the law serves people. When law enforcement is too harsh, local people's anti-law sentiments are understandable. Law enforcement needs to be strict, and measures to implement epidemic prevention regulations need to be based on laws, but the law serves the people. If the epidemic prevention regulations are contrary to the interests of the public, then law enforcement parties need to reflect on their own problems and make appropriate modifications to some of the contents to maximize public interests.
