A suspected fake police stealth chariot appeared on the road!

Yesterday (25th) two car Cam videos circulated on social platforms. A BMW private car with a license plate prefixed with "FU" suddenly lit up a "red and blue warning light" because of a tangential conflict with the private car in the video. , Like a police stealth chariot, the driver wearing a white shirt and white pants got out of the car and stopped the victim.

Netizens questioned someone pretending to be a police officer on the road to "enforce law", because the driver in the clip did not show a warrant card, and the common rear warning lights of the "stealth chariot" should be "left blue and right red", and they would wear police reflections The pilot in uniform rides.

The police responded that the license plate was not registered by the police force and has nothing to do with the police force.

According to sources, the police found that the vehicle was registered as an engineering company based on the license plate number and arrested a 23-year-old man surnamed Zhong.

He reported that he was a male clerk at a money changer, and the private car involved was in the possession of his father's engineering company.

After preliminary investigation, someone suspected that the line was cut by another vehicle and the red and blue lights at the rear of the car were turned on. However, he only had an international license and a school license. The police temporarily arrested him for driving without a license.

Recently, two CAM videos of two vehicles circulated online. The incident occurred on the southbound lane of Sha Tin Wai Road, Tai Wai, near the Prince of Wales Hospital.

The footage shows that a seven-seater car was driving on the left lane at that time, the BMW RV was on the left second lane, and the private car in the footage was driving on the left third lane.

During the period, the seven-man car wanted to cut into the second line, and BMW immediately slowed down to give way, but the victim also wanted to cut into the second line and climb the BMW head.

Suspecting dissatisfaction, the BMW driver stepped on the gas and accelerated forward and turned left into the slip road of Sha Tin Road. It happened that the victim had to drive to the slip road and followed BMW.

BMW suddenly lights up "left red, right blue" warning lights, the driver gets off the car and stops

When the two cars turned smoothly into the branch road, the rear of the BMW suddenly lit up with a "red and blue warning light" and flashed continuously, just like a warning light on a police car, and stopped at the front left.

Upon seeing the situation, the victim's private car hesitated for a while and slowed down slightly, and then wanted to cross slowly from the right.

However, the BMW driver got out of the car at this time. He wore a white cap and a mask, and was wearing white short-sleeved shirts. He raised his hand to prevent the victim from leaving. He even signaled the victim to stop the car on the roadside, but he did not show the police commission card during the whole process. The fragment is now over.

After the footage was exposed online, it attracted heated discussions among netizens.

Some netizens questioned that the BMW driver involved faked the police stealth chariot to "enforce law" on the road, because the rear warning light of the "stealth chariot" common to drivers should be "left blue, right red", not the "left red right" in the clip blue".

In addition, it was also suggested that the "stealth chariot" is two people in the same car. The front passenger seat is taken by the pilot, and they will wear police uniform reflective clothing, but only one person gets off the car in the clip.

The letter of the license plate is another focus, "FU" mostly refers to registered vehicles in the Mainland
