In Xiamen, Fujian Province, the uncivilized behavior of a high-speed rail passenger has aroused widespread public concern. According to Xiamen Radio and Television, the passenger smoked at the junction of the No. 8 and No. 9 carriages of the high-speed rail train, and after being discovered by the police, his attitude was extremely arrogant.
When questioned by the conductor why he smoked on the train, the passenger said that he had never taken a train or high-speed train and was ignorant of the no-smoking rules on the train. In the face of the conductor's rebuttal, he said even more unscrupulously: "How much money you fine me, I will pay the same, 3,000, 5,000, 30,000, 50,000, and add 0 to you, whatever you want!" ”
After investigation, it was found that the passenger was an old smoker who was depressed because of his unsatisfactory work, so he went to the junction of the carriage to smoke. In the end, he was given an administrative penalty by the railway ** and handed over to the local police station for processing.
Netizens expressed their indignation at this incident, believing that this kind of disregard for public order should be severely punished. They pointed out that the high-speed EMU uses a highly sealed carriage design, and the air circulation system runs through the entire train. Smoking on high-speed trains may trigger smoke alarms in the carriages, triggering emergency braking procedures that cause the train to slow down or stop abnormally.
According to the "Railway Safety Management Regulations", for smoking passengers, a fine of 500-2000 yuan can be imposed, and if it constitutes a violation of public security administration, the public security organ shall give a public security administrative penalty according to law; where a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility is pursued in accordance with law. In addition, there is a possibility of being put on a "blacklist" and not being able to buy a ticket for 180 days.
The law does not support the passenger's request to add a "0" to the fine. When punishing, administrative organs must impose punishments within the sentencing range prescribed by law.
This incident once again reminds us that no matter where we are, we should abide by public order, respect the rights and interests of others, and maintain a good social environment.
