Zhengzhou anti-prostitution campaign exposes naked photos of prostitutes
Law enforcement methods of police officers have been questioned, with netizens believing that even if they commit a crime, their right to privacy should still be respected.

A successful anti-prostitution and anti-illegal activities operation in Zhengzhou has sparked significant controversy online due to the appearance of a clear photograph showing the face of a naked prostitute in a news report. Netizens believe that even prostitutes deserve respect for their right to privacy.
Undercover officer pulls hair and lifts the face of a prostitute
According to Henan Online, from the evening of October 28th to the early hours of the next morning, the Zhengzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau deployed over 300 police forces to raid venues involved in prostitution and gambling within the city area. This was the second large-scale patrol across the city by the Zhengzhou police and also a concentrated special operation to combat prostitution and gambling. According to the police announcement, nine individuals involved in illegal activities were arrested on the scene that night. Two bathhouses and one arcade were shut down.
However, both in the action scene videos available online and the subsequently published action photographs, an undercover police officer with a shaved head drew considerable attention from many netizens. The reporter observed that in the video, this undercover officer first kicked open the door with both feet and then loudly forced the naked prostitute crouched in a ball to answer, "How many? How many tonight, speak!" When the prostitute lied saying, "No work today," he confidently searched and found receipts, confirming "a total of 26."
Up to this point, everything seemed normal. However, subsequently, this "shaved-head mole" forcefully grabbed the hair of the naked prostitute and lifted her face, fully exposing her features to the camera. It was precisely this image that sparked immense controversy.
Privacy of prostitutes should also be protected
The reporter discovered that yesterday, major forums and websites all reprinted this piece of news along with the video. In the Kadi Community, this post was re-posted multiple times; as of 9 PM last night, the thread titled "The Bewilderment of Prostitutes and the Mightiness of the Shaved-Head Police Officer" had nearly 90,000 views, with replies approaching 1,400.
A netizen from Tianhe, Guangzhou, believed that releasing nude photos was inappropriate! News often shows police putting paper bags on the heads of suspects or covering their faces with something; why here must the face of the prostitute be deliberately exposed? Many netizens expressed that the privacy of prostitutes should also be protected; to a certain extent, prostitutes are also a vulnerable group. "Prostitutes are human beings too; even if they commit crimes, their rights such as the right to privacy should still be respected."
Kadi Community netizen "Tiger's Body Trembles" said that making such a fierce move against a woman shows that the shaved-head police officer's law enforcement is not only inhumane but also very 'brutal.' "In the past, during Guangdong's anti-prostitution campaigns, head covers were used on johns and prostitutes to protect their privacy."
A Suzhou netizen criticized, "Prostitutes are people too! Is it so glorious to lift someone's head up to take a nude photo?" Netizen "Yitian Big Sword" asked, "Is it legal to take nude photos of prostitutes and make them public?"
Netizen "Guangwoniao Shi" believes that in this matter, the police use violent means against non-violent individuals, and publishing nude photos infringes on privacy rights. Netizen "Hao Dada Cotton Candy" also stated that even lawbreakers have basic rights; as enforcers of the law, what does it mean to pull someone's hair? Moreover, they are women, not violent criminals, so there's no need for violence to stop violence—it's just prostitution. From a personal cultivation standpoint, such police officers lack any grace and fundamental humanistic qualities. From the perspective of citizens' rights, even lawbreakers have basic human rights.
