There is a classic advertising slogan in Bai Piao: Ask the police if you have something. Of course, not everything has to be reported to the police! But what we are talking about today belongs to the category of finding the police.
there are generally two requirements for the police to file a case.
1, criminal facts exist;
2. The criminal facts shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law. If there are criminal facts, but the law stipulates that criminal responsibility shall not be investigated, the case cannot be filed.
let's look at the first point. There are criminal facts. So is it a crime to insult others in the WeChat group?
Let's look at some relevant provisions of Chinese laws:
Article 42 of the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment publicly insults others or fabricates facts to slander others, and shall be detained for not more than five days or fined not more than 5 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may also be fined not more than 5 yuan.
article 246 of the criminal law publicly insults others or fabricates facts to slander others by violence or other means, if the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights. The crimes mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall be dealt with only if they are told, except those that seriously endanger social order and national interests.
Obviously, maliciously insulting others in the WeChat group is an act of publicly insulting others, publicly degrading their personality and damaging their reputation. This is illegal!
