A National People's Congress (NPC) deputy suggested to abolish the criminalization of drunk driving, but there are not many supporters, the comment section of the people are almost all deny this view, because everyone feels that those who are drunk driving is very dangerous, if an accident occurs, their own life will be affected, but in fact, it will also give the threat to the safety of other people's lives, each person's life is only Once, these people drink a lot of alcohol for the sake of the moment, but it will affect the life and property safety of others, and this is not worth being forgiven.
NPC deputy Zhu Leiyu gave the reason that the abolition of the drunken driving type of dangerous driving offenses does not mean that the wrongdoing of drunken driving will not be pursued. On the contrary, while restricting the application of the criminal law, it is recommended to increase the strength and scope of administrative penalties for drunk driving and drunk driving behavior. The abolition of the crime of drunken driving can make the law more humane and warm, but also can greatly reduce the crime rate, and help the construction of a harmonious society.
The NPC deputies' proposal to abolish the criminalization of drunk driving was opposed by netizens.Zhu Leiyu said these reasons, sounds a bit reasonable, from criminal punishment to administrative punishment, can greatly reduce the crime rate, help the construction of a harmonious society. Just, Zhu representative has not thought, more a "drunk driving" case, will be more a risk of traffic accidents, it is possible to make people's lives and property safety more a danger.
Once a traffic accident occurs, it is possible to cause harm to a person, a family, or even more than one person, more than one family. So, is such harm conducive to social harmony or not. Because of a person's greed for alcohol, it brings disaster to one or even more families, such a person "criminalized", is it still wrong?
Obviously, this kind of harmony is the harmony of grass for trees, soil for gold, is the harmony of the loss. If this is the way to build a harmonious society, then all crimes can be abolished and replaced with administrative penalties. In that case, the whole society would be scattered, and there would be no rules, no order, no rules.
What needs to be noted by Mr. Zhu is that the "criminalization of drunk driving" is not proposed by any person or department for its own interests, nor is it a hot-headed, head-shaking, but a major decision made only under the strong public opinion. And from the implementation of the effect is also very obvious. according to statistics, since 2011, drunk driving was first written into the criminal law, to 2020, the national court concluded the "drunk driving" and other dangerous driving crime cases totaled 289,000 cases, accounting for 25.9% of the total number of criminal cases, dangerous driving offense has been high in the number of criminal cases first.
Perhaps, Zhu, as a lawyer, may be more on the side of the case and the perspective of the parties, thinking that too many cases of "drunken driving" have taken up too much judicial resources, and will make many people because of "drunken driving into criminal" and become the most important thing in the world. It will also make many people become "criminals" because of the "criminalization of drunken driving" and lose the opportunity to be recognized by the society. In particular, those who have a certain social status and influence will be "discarded" by the society because they have been convicted of DUI once.
But has it ever occurred to Zhu that if the "DUI penalty" is abolished, the nearly 300,000 "DUI" cases will cause how many traffic accidents, how many people and how many families will be harmed? How much property damage will be caused? More importantly, "drunk driving" has been criminalized, to be held criminally liable, there are still so many people who still dare to take a chance on "drunk driving". If the criminalization of DUI is abolished, the number of DUI cases will increase rapidly. By then, the criminal cases around traffic accidents will increase rapidly, even far more than the "DUI" cases.
As for Zhu's question about being held criminally liable for "drunk driving" and being disliked when he comes out, on the one hand, he can't blame others for not respecting the law. If the fear of the law, should not make "drunk driving" behavior; on the other hand, after being disliked, that is also a reflection of public opinion, the public is such a way to hope that everyone does not commit crimes. In the face of such a result, the only way to do a good job, so that the community to re-recognize their own, is the best choice, rather than begging for sympathy from the public.
DUI criminalization is in the interest of the majority of peopleAnalyzing and judging the right and wrong, right and wrong of a decision cannot only look at the unilateral results, but also at the comprehensive effect. "DUI criminalization", purely from the point of view of the occupation of judicial resources and the rise in crime cases, there are indeed some new contradictions and problems. However, if analyzed comprehensively, these contradictions and problems with the effect and benefits to compare, also on the weight of the time. In particular, the "drunk driving sentence" from the point of view of public opinion, but also fully in line with the interests of the majority of people, in line with the wishes of the majority of people, the abolition of the "drunk driving sentence", is contrary to public opinion, will be strongly opposed by the public and dissatisfaction.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhu's proposal can only be taken as a family's opinion and not as a representative's suggestion. The NPC deputies' suggestions should be made on behalf of the people, not on their own behalf. Obviously, Zhu's proposal to abolish the criminalization of drunken driving is hardly representative, and it is indeed a bit unsuitable for the matter to be raised in the National People's Congress. Submitted to the two sessions of the motion, suggestions, etc., should be more to listen to public opinion, on behalf of public opinion, rather than their own views.
So, "DUI criminal" can not be canceled, not only can not be canceled, but also increase the punishment, so that the law really grow teeth. Once to everyone can fear the law, fear of "drunk driving sentence", "drunk driving" will be less and less, and ultimately everyone can consciously abide by the rules of the road, and ultimately bring a great improvement in traffic safety.
