The taxi driver stopped at the double yellow line and refused to drive away. When the police officer wanted to issue a ticket, he suddenly drove and dragged the police officer for about 10 meters.
The driver, who earlier pleaded guilty to obstructing a public official and dangerous driving, said he did not know the driver was being dragged after his arrest.
Magistrate Luo Quan today (26th) sentenced the Eastern District Court, saying that the police officer was performing his duties at the time, and the defendant ignored it and accelerated and caused danger, and he must be sentenced to imprisonment. Therefore, he sentenced the defendant to 2 months in prison, suspended for 1 year and compensated the police officer 800 yuan.
Defendant Ho Chun-kuan (61) admitted to obstructing Auxiliary Police A7303 outside Central Building, 1-3 Pedder Street, Central on March 23, 2022; and driving a taxi dangerously on the road on the same day.
The facts of the case allege that at about 1:00 p.m. that day, the defendant parked the taxi at the double-yellow line, and the police officer asked him to drive away, but the defendant refused. The defendant ignored it, and even before driving the taxi, the police officer grabbed the taxi window and asked the defendant to stop. The defendant ignored it and accelerated, saying, "Skip!" He accelerated the taxi and drove away, and the police officer was dragged away. About 3 taxi spaces later fell to the ground. The police officer felt pain and injured his hands and feet. He was required to take 5 days of sick leave.
The defendant successfully drove the taxi away at that time, but was arrested the same night.
