The Impersonated Car of the Ring County Public Security Bureau
On July 6, a white Toyota 2700 car and a Volkswagen Santana (Pu Sang) car with license plate number "Gan O M0120" were found to be impersonated in the courtyard of the People's Congress of Ring County. Another black Volkswagen Santana with license plate number "Gan O M0112" was also found at the Ring County Public Security Bureau.
According to the report by the Western Business Daily, the recent exposure of multiple impersonated police cars parked in the courtyard of the Ring County Public Security Bureau in Gansu Province has sparked heated online discussions. The Qingyang Municipal Public Security Bureau stated that it had confiscated the improperly used police car license plates and ordered the Ring County Public Security Bureau to make a written self-examination.
According to online posts, there were six police cars within the Ring County Public Security Bureau sharing only three official police car license plates. Citizens reported that these vehicles frequently drove around the streets and sometimes were even seen together. After being exposed online with detailed images and descriptions, the incident drew widespread attention and was widely reprinted on various websites. The Qingyang municipal government required the Municipal Public Security Bureau to quickly investigate the facts.
From July 9 to 10, the Supervision Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau formed a working group to conduct an investigation specifically in Ring County. It was found that the Ring County Public Security Bureau currently has 33 police vehicles, including 10 vehicles with the special Gan O license plate segment. Among them, "Gan O・M0088" is used by the Director of the Ring County Public Security Bureau, Qi Yonghui. In April this year, a company donated a white Toyota sedan to encourage and support the Ring County Public Security Bureau (with complete vehicle purchase procedures). Due to the Provincial Public Security Department halting the issuance of the "Gan O" dedicated license plate segment, and due to financial difficulties within the county bureau, the vehicle has not yet been registered. For work convenience, during major police operations, the "Gan O・M0088" license plate was temporarily transferred for use on the white Toyota car.
Additionally, in August 2007, the Ring County Public Security Bureau registered a black ordinary Santana sedan with the license plate "Gan O・M0112," which was assigned for use by the criminal investigation team. Later, the county finance department allocated a black Santana 3000 sedan that had been confiscated and turned over to the Ring County Public Security Bureau, which then distributed it to the criminal investigation department. To facilitate case handling, the criminal investigation department once temporarily used the license plate from the ordinary Santana car. Jiang Junxiao, the driver of the Ring County Political Consultative Conference, made a fake "Gan O・M0112" license plate based on advertising information during a business trip in Xi'an and used it.
Finally, the investigation revealed that in August 2006, the Ring County Public Security Bureau registered a black ordinary Santana sedan with the license plate "Gan O・M0120," which was assigned for use by the anti-drug team. This year, Shen Tao, the driver of the Toyota car belonging to the Ring County People's Congress, made and used a fake "Gan O・M0120" license plate during a business trip in Ningxia.
Currently, the working group has confiscated the improperly used police car license plates and ordered the Ring County Public Security Bureau to make a written self-examination.
