There is no safe travel program installed in the mobile phone
According to the case, the police officer went to the game center on the same day to check whether the people present were using the "Safe Travel" app. The defendant was present at the time, and he showed the police officer a copy of the "Safe Travel" visit record.
The police found something unusual and found that the defendant's mobile phone did not have the "Safe Travel" program installed, and that the imitation picture was not from the real "Safe Travel" program, so they arrested the defendant and warned him, "Use it first for fear of being followed by others. Travel with peace of mind.”
When the defense lawyer pleaded for mercy, he pointed out that the defendant had remorse and was willing to take responsibility. The probation officer suggested that the defendant make a moderate-hour social service order.
