Legal analysis
Transportation is different from buying, selling, smuggling and operating, depending on whether it is knowingly committed. It cannot be punished as the crime of illegal operation, but it can be treated as an accessory to the crime of * * *. Generally, it is mainly based on fine education. The problem is that the principal offender has not been found yet, and the public security must continue reconnaissance until the criminal suspect is found, so it can only cooperate closely with the public security to solve the case and strive for a chance of leniency. Smuggling salt means violating relevant government regulations. The emergence and proliferation of illicit salt is usually closely related to the government's salt policy, especially the salt monopoly policy. Generally speaking, in the period when salt was produced, transported and sold freely by the people, there was no official salt monopolized by the government, so there was no private salt. Therefore, smuggling salt can be said to be a direct product of the salt monopoly system (policy) to some extent, and now smuggling salt is because it is also related to people's health problems. Modern private salt, commonly known as crude salt and pan salt, is unprocessed mine salt, which is characterized by iodine content far below the national standard and more harmful impurities. The appearance is coarse and black (crystal clear, iodized salt is white). Private salt often contains excessive mineral elements, and long-term intake is extremely harmful to health. If the content of barium chloride in unrefined well salt is high, it will cause numbness of limbs and lead to muscle and joint diseases; If the private salt is bitter, it mostly contains too much magnesium and calcium, which will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, abdominal pain and diarrhea after eating. What's more, private salt generally contains no iodine or very little.
