Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation announced 10 typical cases of special actions to comprehensively control cheating at gas pumps. Among them, an oil company in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and a gas station in Qingdao City, Shandong Province were found to have used cheating methods to "steal oil", making illegal profits of more than 8.63 million yuan and more than 3.2 million yuan respectively, and were both fined 2,000 yuan.

The illegal income was in the millions, but the fine was only 2,000. The disparity stung the public's nerves. Netizens are puzzled and question whether the almost "tickling" fine can curb "fuel stealing" and cheating? Regrettably, from the perspective of current laws and regulations, such administrative penalties are already "extreme".

The "Details for the Implementation of the Measurement Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: "Whoever uses substandard measuring instruments or destroys the accuracy of measuring instruments or falsifies data, causing losses to the country and consumers, shall be ordered to compensate for the losses, and the measuring instruments and all illegal gains shall be confiscated. And a fine of not more than 2,000 yuan has been imposed." Since the release of the regulations in 1987, the above-mentioned fine amount has remained unchanged despite four revisions.

A fine of 2,000 yuan may not have been a small amount more than 30 years ago, but today, it is difficult to deter cheating in measurement. The lag in the revision of relevant legal provisions not only makes it difficult to educate and deter criminals, but also affects the authority of law enforcement agencies and makes it more difficult to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

The purpose of justice is to maintain social justice, protect people's rights and interests, and maintain legal authority. The illegal profit of millions and a fine of only 2,000 has caused controversy, and the crux behind it still needs to be solved through legislation. Only by advancing with the times, promoting the revision of relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible, implementing the principle of "the penalty is commensurate with the punishment", appropriately adjusting the range of fines, and increasing the cost of breaking the law for lawbreakers can the "teeth" of the law be effective and truly deter and protect. role.

At present, relevant departments have stated that they will actively promote the revision of the Measurement Law, increase penalties for cheating using measuring instruments, and strengthen legal constraints. We look forward to more powerful legal weapons to make "black-hearted" gas stations and profit-minded criminals pay their due price, and also to warn other businesses to respect the law and operate with integrity, making the market fairer and consumers more assured.
