Can I call the police if I am insulted by others?
When someone insults you, if you have a recording, you can usually call the police. The recording can be used as evidence. Generally, this kind of behavior does not constitute a criminal offence, but it violates the Law on Public Security Administration Punishment. The perpetrator needs to bear administrative responsibility according to law, and can be detained for up to five days or fined up to 500 yuan.

1, the suspect was arrested by the police station on the spot;
2. The criminal suspect surrenders to the police station;
3. The masses handed the suspect over to the police station;
4. The police at the police station can directly solve the case by obtaining clues;
5, other simple criminal cases, the police station has the ability to investigate.
