Police “do not disclose school zone accidents” –Chosun.com

Amid growing controversy over the ‘Popular Diet Act,’ which severely punished drivers of traffic accidents in the school zone, the National Police Agency confirmed that the police had banned the publication of statistics on childhood accidents. Some say they are trying to avoid controversial problems by blocking the disclosure of related information.

In short, on April 4, after the “Popular Diet Act” was enforced on March 25, the National Police Agency issued at least four school zone guidelines on the front line. In particular, on the 22nd of last month, an instruction was issued to refrain from disclosing statistics on children and accidents. It was an instruction that could be interpreted as meaning to hide statistics related to the Minsik Lee Act. On the 15th of the same month, the Commissioner was informed of “childhood accidents or serious accidents, so the station wishes to report on the progress of the investigation or the reasons for the recruit’s treatment,” he said.

On the 4th of this month, the chief of police, Min Gap-ryong, went directly. At the press conference, in relation to the civilian diet law, “children’s injuries due to traffic accidents in the children’s chin protection zone have decreased by 58% compared to the same period of last year. The number of children injured has also decreased by 54%. ” Said. Criticism of the comments appeared online, such as “Don’t kids go to school or not?” This is because, unlike students from March to April last year, when students were attending school, the number of children passing through the school zone was greatly reduced this year as ‘online schooling’.

Some noted: “Is the police too aware of the government and the ruling party?” This is because President Moon Jae-in was ordained in the ‘Conversation with the People’ in November last year, and was approved and implemented after the ruling party pushed hard. A police officer explained, “Because it is an early, attention-focused law, we try to unify the window to accurately communicate statistics.”

However, complaints about the civilian diet method have recently increased among drivers. It is unfair to impose the same punishment as drunk driving, speeding up or breaking a signal even with a simple mistake. Online, a mobile game appeared called ‘Go through the school zone, scary about the folk method’, which satirized the popular method of avoiding children who suddenly jumped out of the school zone, and also provided a navigation service that added the ability to avoid the school zone. .
