The police drove a bus to buy roast duck during the Chinese New Year duty, which triggered a heated discussion among netizens.

At 17: 00 on February 22, Inner Mongolia Morning Post published a report, "Did the police drive a bus to buy roast duck while on duty? Official response: whether it violates the regulations still needs to be investigated.
According to the report, on February 21, Ma Yan (pseudonym) in Linhe District of Bayannaoer City told reporters that three policemen from Tuanjie Road Police Station of Linhe District Public Security Bureau of Bayannaoer City bought roast duck for private use on February 14.
Ma Yan told reporters that on the afternoon of February 14th, he saw a police car parked in front of a roast duck restaurant in huanghe road, Linhe District. One policeman was waiting in the roast duck restaurant, and two policemen were sitting in the car watching their mobile phones. After half an hour or so, the policeman in the roast duck restaurant walked out of the store with a few roast ducks in his hand, and then three policemen drove away in a police car.
On February 22, the reporter from the Morning News Media learned from Captain Wu of the Supervision Office of the Linhe District Public Security Bureau that on the afternoon of February 14, there were 7 policemen on duty at the Tuanjie Road Police Station. Since the canteen master of the unit did not go to work during the Spring Festival, three policemen drove the official car to the roast duck restaurant to buy dinner after performing the task. Captain Wu told the reporter that some details of the incident still need to be investigated as to whether the three policemen violated the relevant regulations, and the inspection office will find out the matter as soon as possible.
This report triggered a heated discussion among netizens.The focus of the debate is "whether going out to buy food during duty is a job".
Some netizens said that eating during duty is also part of the work, and the behavior of the police involved is not private use of the bus.
Some netizens also said that when the police go out to eat, they should use their own cars.
Some netizens focus on "public supervision" and think that Ma Yan (pseudonym) is reasonable in reflecting the situation.
@ Hong Kong Bald Sheriff Liu Zeji also voiced his voice on this matter in Weibo. He believes that supervision belongs to citizens’ rights, but it should be used with caution, and vigilance will lead to a gap in the relationship between the police and the people.
At present, the local police have not informed the matter further.
Beijing Daily noted that in June 1995, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Regulations on the Management of Police Cars (Order No.27 of the Ministry of Public Security), which stipulated the management and use of police cars by public security organs, state security organs, prison management organs, people’s courts and people’s procuratorates. This regulation was revised on November 8, 2006.

The police car shall not be used for other purposes except for the tasks listed in Article 2 of these Provisions.
Article 2 of the Regulations on the Administration of Police Cars: The police cars mentioned in these Provisions refer to motor vehicles used by public security organs, state security organs, prisons, reeducation-through-labor administrative organs, people’s courts and people’s procuratorates to perform emergency duties. The police car includes:

(2) Vehicles used by state security organs to perform investigation tasks and other special duties;
(3) Prison wagons and vehicles used by prisons and reeducation-through-labor administrative organs to escort criminals, transport reeducation-through-labor personnel and track down fugitives;
(4) Prison wagons, execution ground command vehicles, forensic investigation vehicles and execution vehicles used by the people’s courts to escort criminal suspects and criminals;
(5) On-site investigation vehicles used by people’s procuratorates to investigate criminal cases and prison vehicles to escort criminal suspects.
Article 23 of the Regulations on the Management of Police Cars stipulates that if a police car is not used or lent as required, the relevant personnel shall be punished according to the People’s Police Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China and relevant regulations.
A little more news.
On December 31st, 2020, the Commission for Discipline Inspection of chengwu issued the Circular on Four Typical Spiritual Problems of Violating the Eight Central Provisions. One case is the illegal use of buses by Song Xianyu, captain of Tiangong Squadron of Traffic Police Brigade of chengwu Public Security Bureau.
At noon on April 5, 2020, Song Shuang, the auxiliary police officer of Tiangong Squadron of the Traffic Police Brigade of the County Public Security Bureau, returned to the unit alone after performing police work. On the way, he stopped the police vehicle at the gate of a supermarket and got off the bus to buy steamed bread.
The use of police cars in non-police activities violates the regulations on the use of police vehicles. Song Shuang is directly responsible and Song Xianyu is responsible for leadership. In June 2020, Song Xianyu was admonished and Song Shuang was given a demerit.
