Recently, a video of a traffic policeman violently enforcing a man in a chokehold has attracted widespread attention.

In the video, a man said that the police enforced the law violently, and was immediately choked by a traffic policeman and asked repeatedly: "The police enforce the law violently, right?" "Are they violent? Violent or not?" Multiple chat pictures show that the incident occurred in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Yueqing Baixiang Expressway.

In response to the "Yueqing Traffic Police Violent Law Enforcement" reported online, our bureau attached great importance to it and organized inspections, disciplinary inspection and other departments to carry out verification.
After a preliminary investigation, at about 10:20 on May 21, the Beibaixiang Traffic Police Squadron carried out traffic order improvement work on Beihuan South Road and seized a car that had repeatedly violated the law and had not been dealt with.
