Bodyguards and the abuse of power

Thanh Hoa Province Police Department has just initiated a case involving a group of bodyguards who cleared the road for a wedding procession in Thanh Hoa City. This incident has caused a stir in public opinion over the past few days.

According to Thanh Hoa Provincial Police, the police investigation agency is currently detaining five suspects who are employees of the Security Guard Company to investigate the act of "disturbing public order".

A group of bodyguards who blocked vehicles to let a wedding motorcade pass have been prosecuted.

This is a group of people wearing bodyguard uniforms, arbitrarily going out to the street to direct traffic, blocking other vehicles to serve the wedding convoy in the area of ​​Le Loi Avenue, Thanh Hoa City on the afternoon of November 24.

After the incident was recorded and posted on social media, the police verified and summoned the subjects for clarification.

According to regulations, only authorized persons such as traffic police or forces assigned to regulate traffic in construction areas, congestion areas, ferry terminals or road bridges are allowed to regulate traffic.

Arbitrarily regulating traffic without authority is a violation of the law. The law also stipulates that if one wants to organize cultural activities or festivals on the road, it must be agreed upon and approved in writing by the competent authority.

If it is necessary to divert traffic or prohibit traffic on certain routes, a notice must be issued by the competent authority. The user must post it on the mass media and implement safety measures.

Meanwhile, the above mentioned group of bodyguards are just individuals working for the business, for their own purposes and have absolutely no authority to direct traffic, control vehicles or other actions that interfere with road traffic safety and order.

Obviously, this group's arbitrarily diverting traffic is an act of contempt for the law.

The above actions also seriously violated road traffic safety and order, obstructed and blocked traffic, and disrupted the normal operations of other agencies, organizations, and individuals. Fortunately, no accident occurred, otherwise, it is unknown where things would have gone.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for the authorities to consider this group's responsibility for disturbing public order.

In addition to those who directly committed the act, the authorities will also verify and clarify whether or not there was any act of directing, inciting, or forcing the group of bodyguards to do the above act.

Would the bodyguards dare to clear the road without the direction and consent of the leader and the request from the hiring party?

Do these bodyguards know the law but are still forced to clear the road, or do they not know what is legal and what is illegal?

These are questions that need to be answered properly and are also a painful lesson for bodyguards and security guards. If a business assigns them to do illegal work, they must resolutely refuse, if they do not want to face the consequences.

For a long time, there have been many scandals involving security guards and bodyguards abusing their power, even beating people with serious consequences, using military weapons to show off power and authority...

This is also directly related to the recruitment and training activities of many security companies that are still unprofessional and lack legal knowledge.

And once they lack legal knowledge, the line between permitted and prohibited behavior is fragile, and it is inevitable that they will have to face the law.
