Domestic and foreign Fact: The "Bermuda Triangle" is located in the southeastern part of the Florida Peninsula in North America. Specifically, it refers to an East Atlantic triangle formed by the three-point connection between Bermuda Islands, Miami in the United States, and San Juan in Puerto Rico. Each side is about 2,000 kilometers long. Because paranormal phenomena that are difficult to explain using existing scientific and technological means or normal thinking, logic and reasoning often occur in this sea area, many passing ships, planes and people will "mysteriously disappear". Therefore, in modern times, it has become Become synonymous with mysterious and incomprehensible disappearances.
On the 15th, a private plane flying from Puerto Rico to Florida in the United States disappeared over the famous "Bermuda Triangle". The life and death of the four people on board were uncertain. On the afternoon of the 16th local time, the U.S. Coast Guard found the wreckage of the plane 15 miles east of Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas.
According to reports, on the morning of the 15th, the crashed plane departed from Puerto Rico and flew to Titusville on the northeastern coast of Florida.

Big legal event: The Supreme Court issued guidance on the sentencing of eight common crimes on the 17th. Among them, there are specific provisions on the sentencing of some drunk driving behaviors: "For a defendant who drives a motor vehicle while drunk, if the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great, he will not be convicted and punished; if the crime is minor and does not require a penalty, he can be exempted from criminal punishment. ." After this news was broadcast, it triggered a debate in public opinion, and the focus of the debate was whether the non-uniform criminalization of drunk driving would lead to selective law enforcement.
In fact, "whether drunk driving should always be punished" has always been controversial.
In 2011, the "Criminal Law Amendment (8)" stipulated that "anyone who drives a motor vehicle while drunk on the road shall be sentenced to criminal detention and shall also be fined." According to the regulations, anyone who drives drunk will be sentenced to prison. In this regard, there are two different views in academic circles: one believes that the crackdown is too broad, and the other insists that drunk driving should be punished. The conflict point between the two views is: whether the different circumstances and circumstances of drunk driving should be comprehensively considered to ensure that the guilt and liability are appropriate.
As early as the implementation of the “criminalization of drunk driving”, when public opinion across the country was applauding “all drunken driving”, the then Vice-President of the Supreme People’s Court once stated that for those whose behavior is significantly harmful to society, Mild and insignificant drunk driving behavior is not considered a crime, and courts at all levels are required to correctly grasp the conditions that constitute the crime of dangerous driving. They should not consider that driving a motor vehicle as long as they meet the drunken standard will constitute a criminal offence.
It is undeniable that the "universal criminal penalty for drunk driving" has played a great deterrent effect, and the proportion of both drunk driving and drunk driving has dropped off a cliff. A set of data released by the Ministry of Public Security in 2016 shows that in the past five years, public security agencies across the country have investigated and dealt with 2.474 million illegal acts of driving a motor vehicle after drinking, a decrease of 34% compared with the five years before the implementation of the law. Among them, 420,000 drunk driving cases were investigated, a decrease of 38% from the previous month.
However, there are various drunk driving behaviors in real life, and their degree of harm and malignancy vary greatly. It is difficult to say that it is fair and just to treat drunk driving of different degrees as the same crime as ordinary drunk driving and to impose the same sentence. It also violates the principle of "criminal responsibility and punishment appropriate" in punishment. The original intention of enacting "universal criminalization of drunk driving" is to curb the harm caused by drunk driving to public safety, but we must also see that "universal criminalization of drunk driving" is a special judicial method adopted for a special period. While demonstrating the punitive effect and huge deterrent effect on drunk driving, it also exposes existing problems.
Recently, a drunk driving case in Guangzhou is a good example. A doctor, Liu, drove him into the community and moved his car by himself. He accidentally scratched his car slightly. After a dispute with the security guard, the police intervened and he was eventually charged with dangerous driving. He was exempted from criminal punishment after the second instance changed the sentence. Problems like this are often heard after drunk driving is sentenced. The guidance issued by the Supreme People’s Court draws on lessons learned from judicial practice.
Ruan Qilin, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law, believes that the guidance issued by the Supreme Court this time is a restatement of existing legal provisions and can also be seen as a correction. "This does not indicate any change in the attitude of the Supreme Court on the crime of dangerous driving. It is just that the new law was promulgated at that time, and the implementation may be stricter in various places. In addition, considering that the criteria for conviction or non-conviction are difficult to grasp, I am afraid that there will be a choice Therefore, for a while there was a situation where people were convicted of drunk driving as long as they were caught.”
According to Professor Ruan Qilin’s point of view, it is not accurate to interpret the standardization of drunk driving sentencing as a loosening of the penalty for drunk driving. There is no guidance. loose. But he is also worried that the provision of no conviction and punishment and exemption from criminal punishment for drunk driving where the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great may lead to the problem of selective justice. "How to judge whether the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great? This requires a standard. Otherwise, it is easy to have unfair justice and undermine judicial fairness. This is what people are worried about, and it is also a test of the wisdom of the judiciary. "
Looking at public opinion, as Ruan Qilin worries, if the standard of "the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great" is not grasped well, the credibility of the judiciary may be undermined. However, this concern is not a reason to stop eating due to choking. Discovering problems but not correcting them; discovering loopholes but not making up for them; discovering problems in the operation of the law but not correcting them will only lead to a cycle of making mistakes after mistakes. At least the issuance of this guidance gives China’s judiciary a chance to Opportunities to keep pace with the times.
It should be noted that drunk driving will not be punished if the circumstances are minor, which does not mean that drunk driving will not be punished, nor does it mean that the law gives a green light to a dangerous behavior that endangers people's lives and safety. Drunk driving still needs to bear corresponding punishments, but those "unconventional" cases where the circumstances are extremely minor but are severely punished will soon disappear.
As for some public opinion’s concerns about selective justice for drunk driving, they are indeed justified. But don’t let the possible problems keep you from moving forward. What's more, solving the problem of selective law enforcement has always been the direction of judicial reform.
It seems that what caused the controversy was not the guidance issued by the highest authority, but the vague confusion about the criteria for judging drunk driving and non-drunk driving. How to clarify the standard of drunkenness more clearly requires the relevant judicial authorities to issue detailed rules. While breaking the limitations of the old provisions and eliminating the space for rent-seeking by the new regulations, only then can the concerns of the people be alleviated.
The above are things that happened in the past 24 hours that you may not know. I sincerely hope that my sharing can give you something.
