Law enforcers are "protective umbrellas" for black cars and crazy trucks. Harbin dug up 251 cars a year.
On June 28th, CCTV reported that it was supposed to be the law enforcement department of traffic violators, but it acted as an "umbrella" for those who were rectified. Since June last year, Harbin has destroyed 251 "protective umbrellas" hidden in the traffic system in two batches. Hongsheng Wang, the former detachment leader of the municipal traffic administrative comprehensive law enforcement detachment, and Wang Wei, the former deputy detachment leader of the municipal traffic police detachment, have been "double-opened" and transferred to judicial organs for legal treatment.
129 law enforcers act as umbrellas for personal gain.
The phenomenon of "black car" in Harbin has a long history. As early as 2007, some people reported that some people bought scrapped vehicles as taxis and operated in different regions. By 2015 and 2016, the phenomenon of "black car" reached its peak, and even openly competed with regular taxis to grab passengers, asking for exorbitant prices, looting and extortion, and passengers suffered greatly.

As soon as the "black car" is rectified, it will disappear, and if it is not rectified, it will be on the road again. For more than 10 years, the problem of "black cars" has been banned and repeated. The reason is that, in addition to the benefit drive, the "umbrella" within the management department is the direct cause of the proliferation of "black cars".
"We must resolutely guard against and correct what the people oppose and hate", and implement the requirements of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. The main leaders of Heilongjiang Province and Harbin clearly put forward that it is an important task to punish illegally operated vehicles and investigate and deal with "protective umbrellas" to safeguard the interests of the people. On June 26 last year, a task force was formally established in Harbin to crack down on illegal operation of vehicles and strictly investigate the "protective umbrella" behind them.
The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection dispatched more than 30 business backbones of discipline inspection and supervision offices to participate in special rectification actions throughout the process. In the early stage, in order to investigate the problem more thoroughly, the cadres of the Commission for Discipline Inspection disguised themselves as unannounced visits, ventured to take a "black car" many times to understand the situation and mastered a lot of valuable information. After a month’s careful arrangement, starting from the early morning of July 27th, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection organized and coordinated the public security, transportation and other departments to launch the "closing the net" action.
After checking 16,800 related vehicles, seizing 214 illegally operated taxis, knocking out 7 "black car" gangs, and handing over the clues of 174 illegally operated taxis to the public security organs, the "protective umbrellas" hidden behind them were revealed one by one.
On November 13th of that year, the Supervision Bureau of Harbin Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection publicly reported the investigation and punishment of party member cadres and staff acting as "protective umbrellas" for illegally operating taxis, and severely investigated and held 129 party member cadres and staff accountable.
Among the 129 public officials notified, some involved the supervision department’s ineffective performance of the main responsibility, dereliction of duty, some involved the inaction and disorderly actions of law enforcement departments, some party member cadres lost their principles, interceded for illegal operators to ask for cars and mitigated punishment, some party member cadres tipped off illegal operators or tried to cover up the people involved, and even worse, they abused their powers because of accepting benefits and acted as "protective umbrellas" for the illegal operation of "black car" gangs.
Seven cadres, including Hongsheng Wang, the detachment leader of the Municipal Traffic Administrative Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment, and Li Lun, the political commissar, were expelled from the Party and public office for allegedly abusing their powers to commit crimes, harboring crimes or accepting bribes, and were transferred to judicial organs for legal treatment. Other party member cadres were punished by probation, dismissal of their posts in the Party, and severe warnings within the Party, depending on the seriousness of the case, for accepting bribes, informing people, caring for intercession and other violations.
Eight party member cadres, including Tan Hongzhi, former party secretary and director of the Municipal Transportation Bureau, Qi Ming, deputy director, and Liu Wei, leader of the discipline inspection team, were dismissed from their posts in the Party and removed from their posts by the administration for failing to perform their main responsibilities and supervisory responsibilities.
Among the 122 "protective umbrellas", 108 people are involved in the public security system.
It’s only been more than half a year since the last briefing. On June 25th, the Supervision Committee of the Harbin Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection informed 122 leading cadres and public officials about the issue of "protective umbrellas" for the "crazy trucks". Among them, Wang Wei, deputy detachment leader of the municipal traffic police detachment, Ming Changqing, team leader of the municipal traffic police Daoli, and Yu Guangjun, etc. 11 people were transferred to judicial organs for legal treatment.
Wang Daoan, the captain of the city traffic police, Li Renming, the captain of Taiping, Han Ming, the captain of Haxi, and Gao Wenfeng, the political commissar of Acheng Brigade, were dismissed. Zhang Jidong, the former captain of the patrol brigade of the municipal traffic police detachment, and Pan Guangping, the captain of the bungalow, were respectively punished by party discipline and government affairs.
Ma Tengxiang, former deputy director of Nangang Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, intervened in law enforcement and provided protection for illegal acts of trucks. He was punished by staying in the party and determined his retirement benefits according to his non-leadership positions at the official level.
Fourteen public officials from Daoli District, Daowai District, nangang district, Xiangfang District, Songbei District Urban Management Law Enforcement Bureau and Transportation Management Office of the Municipal Transportation Bureau failed to perform their supervisory responsibilities, and were punished by party discipline and government affairs respectively.
These 122 leading cadres and public officials have various ways to violate the law and discipline, some abuse their powers to give the green light, some reveal secrets to sell people’s feelings, some organize groups to violate the rules, some interfere in law enforcement, some interfere in the project for personal gain, and some release water from the source to make changes, which seriously undermines the authority and credibility of law enforcement.
It is worth noting that among the 122 "protective umbrellas", 108 people are involved in the public security system, including 100 public security traffic police.
In order to make the cadres of public security organs deeply learn the painful lessons of this case, earnestly rectify the problems, thoroughly eliminate the negative effects, and reshape the new image of public security traffic police, on the 27th, Harbin public security organs held a warning education conference.
The Harbin Public Security Bureau has studied and promulgated the "six whatevers and six unifications" prohibition iron regulations, thoroughly investigated and sorted out hidden dangers in the overall scope, and comprehensively carried out special rectification in terms of team style, police handling, law enforcement quality, and collusion between traffic police and police stations and police officers.
At the same time, a key work inspector group was set up to station in the traffic police detachment to comprehensively supervise the work of building a clean and honest party style, rectifying work style, and providing four zero services. Solidly promote the strict management of the party and the police in an all-round way, and regard June 27 of each year as the overall "warning education day" to guide the education of the whole police not to forget the shame and alarm bells.
