Real Problems

One day Zhang was wandering on the street and saw Kong, a fashionable girl walking towards him. On a whim, Zhang walked up to talk to her and expressed that she wanted to make friends. After Kong refused, Zhang felt very humiliated and stopped Kong on the street, saying that he insisted on making friends with her. Kong was frightened and ran away, and Zhang chased after her. It was not until passersby called the police and the police came that Kong was able to escape. The public security organ imposed a public security penalty of five days' detention on Zhang, but Zhang believed that he was just joking and did not break the law and should not be punished. So, what does the law provide for this?

Lawyer's Answer

According to the relevant provisions of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law", those who chase or intercept others shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and may be fined not more than five hundred yuan. ; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for not less than 10 days but not more than 15 days, and may also be fined not more than 1,000 yuan.

In this case, Zhang’s behavior of chasing and intercepting others violated the legal provisions of public security management. It is legal for the public security organs to impose a five-day detention penalty based on the specific circumstances.
