How to deal with super traffic and road administration

As of May 2009, multiple county, city, and district courts in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi, successively sentenced more than 20 bribery cases of road officials in less than half a year.

These cases are a series of cases, and most of the defendants are road administrators, overtaking control officers, and co-investigators who have participated in the "overtaking control" on the expressway, and some are partners in the same team. They either accepted bribes alone, or jointly accepted bribes, or jointly shared the spoils, and arbitrarily collected favor fees from overloaded drivers, cargo owners, units and "intermediaries". Overloaded vehicles will then be released.

"Business opportunities" are revealed at the Zhichao Station

At the Chonglun Zhichao Station of the Guangxi Coastal Expressway Management Office, like other business places, some "jargon" has emerged, such as The owner, driver or agent of an overloaded vehicle spends money to buy "release" from the overload control officer, which is called "paying the bill", and the money sent is called "single fee". They report the overloaded vehicle that is about to pass to the overload control officer in advance, which is called "reporting the card"; The money collected by road officials from drivers and cargo owners is called "collection", and this money is called "hard work fee".

In June 2004, the Fangchenggang Road Administration Department set up an overload control station in Chonglun Village, Fangcheng District, to strictly investigate and deal with overloaded vehicles. The overloaded vehicles found not only had to be unloaded and distributed, but also A fine of up to NT$10,000 may be imposed. Traffic control personnel are mainly drawn from the highway administration brigade, highway police station, traffic police brigade, traffic collection office, and transportation management office in Fangcheng District. The number at the peak reached more than 20.

Wu Shangjie is one of them.

Like most of the staff at Zhichao Station, Wu Shangjie is also a young man. Because he has a college education, he soon became the deputy squadron leader of the Road Administration Squadron of Fangchenggang Road Administration Office.

One day in September 2004, Wu Shangjie was in the office of Fangchenggang Road Management Office. A middle-aged man named Zhou came in and claimed to be the captain of a fleet of a logistics company in Fangchenggang: "Captain Wu, I have something to talk to." Please discuss it, it’s about our team passing through the Zhichao Station." Upon hearing this, Wu Shangjie realized that this matter was a bit sensitive, and it was inconvenient to discuss it with people coming and going in the office, so he said, "Let's find a place. Let’s talk.”

The place Wu Shangjie was looking for was a coffee shop in a big hotel. After the two sat down, Zhou said: "There are 10 vehicles in our fleet that do not have over-limit transportation certificates. I hope you will take care of them when they pass by your overload control station. Our company will pay you hard work." Wu Shangjie heard about it Other Supermarket Control Stations also had "acquisition" matters, so he remained calm and continued to listen to Zhou.

Seeing Wu Shangjie's expression, Zhou knew better. He said: "It's okay. We do it in the same way at other super-regulating stations. So, if our team has ever had your super-regulating vehicle, When you stand, the company will pay you 10,000 yuan a month."

Wu Shangjie thought for a moment and then agreed.

Soon, another logistics company came to our door. From September 2004 to March 2006, Wu Shangjie, together with members of his road management squadron's super-control team, received 130,000 yuan in benefits from the two logistics companies and shared them privately. In addition, Wu Shangjie also separately received a benefit fee of 14,000 yuan from the middleman Ye Runzhong.

Villers act as "Nine Eight Guys"

Not only did the Zhichao Station personnel see the "business opportunities" that existed at the Zhichao Station, but Weng Weikuan, Ye Runzhong and other villagers near the Zhichao Station also discovered it The way to make money.

The Chonglun Zhichao Station is located at the entrance of Chonglun Village, only a dozen meters away from the homes of Weng Weikuan and Ye Runzhong. Ye Runzhong helped solve the problem of water supply, electricity and toilet space at the Zhichao Station. The staff of the Zhichao Station also I often go to these two houses to pour boiling water and have late-night snacks.

Weng Weikuan, who is in his 30s, only attended elementary school and has been making a living by farming at home. Later, he bought a tricycle to carry passengers. Although he cannot read well, his brain is still alive. Not long after the arrival of the overload control personnel, he became familiar with them and was "reused" by the overload control personnel. Whenever an overloaded vehicle was detected, they always called him and Ye Runzhong to help with loading and unloading.

Some transactions cannot be carried out directly and must go through an intermediary. For example, if an overload is detected and the driver directly sends money to the overtaking control personnel on the spot, the driver will most likely be rejected and must find an "agent." ".

The only outsiders at the Zhichao Station were Weng Weikuan, Ye Runzhong and a few other villagers. The foreign drivers saw that Weng Weikuan and Ye Runzhong were familiar with the Zhichao officers and thought they would be the right ones to find.

"Brother, please intercede and I will pay for your hard work." The drivers pulled Weng Weikuan aside and begged.

At first, Weng Weikuan told the overload officer that the overloaded car belonged to his friend and he hoped to let it go. For the sake of "neighbors", the police officer agreed. Things were settled so easily. Weng Weikuan was pleasantly surprised and realized that there was a way to make money and decided to expand the business. So when he drove a tricycle to carry passengers, he always boasted to others that he knew many traffic policemen and road officials and could settle many matters.

Weng Weikuan pleads for his "friend" again and again, and even the most confused police officer will wake up: "Tell me, are you a gangster (referring to someone who helps people run through the back door)?" The mask was removed It turns out that Weng Weikuan doesn't care. He has a way to deal with it, which is "profit sharing": "It doesn't matter, I will give you 200 yuan for each car!"

Weng Weikuan has many ways to deal with overcrowding. At the beginning, some of the supervising officers refused to agree, but he went to work every day, and he was able to say all the good things and give him enough sweetness. In this way, he captured the super officers one by one. There are some that are really impossible to attack, but he has ways to deal with them. For example, if he buys a pair of binoculars, whenever he wants to go to the police officer, he will first use the binoculars to see which security officer is on duty. If someone doesn't agree with him, he should wait until a "friendly" person is on duty. , go again.

In this way, Weng Weikuan's business grew bigger and bigger, and his reputation became bigger and bigger. He took over the entry and exit business of several out-of-town fleets. Sometimes he was so busy that he even asked his wife to go to the Supermarket on his behalf. Pay money at the station. Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with doing business only at Chonglun Yechao Station. Starting in 2006, he launched an "attack" on Fangchenggang Road Management Office. Since 2004, he has given money to nearly 30 road administrators at the Chonglun Supermarket Station and Fangchenggang Management Office. He did not even know the names of some road administrators, and used the names "Brother Wang", "Fat Boy" and "Director Sun" when communicating " and other titles.

By May 2008, Weng Weikuan had collected about 300,000 yuan from overloaded drivers, of which 110,000 yuan was given to road staff, and he made a profit of 190,000 yuan.

Involving the entire Fangchenggang road administration system

One day in October 2007, Jin Minghua, the chief prosecutor of the Fangchenggang City Procuratorate, was on a business trip and passed by the Chonglun Zhichao Station. Because there were many cars at the station, his The car also slowed down. He took a look outside the car, and something that no one else paid much attention to came into his eyes: the truck driver stopped, talked to the police officer for a few words, and then continued driving. When he passed the scale, he drove past without stopping. . How to weigh yourself without stopping? How do you know it's overloaded? These questions couldn't help but swirl in his mind.

Back at the procuratorate, Jin Minghua immediately summoned the deputy prosecutor general and the anti-corruption director to study the doubts he discovered. According to the results of the study, everyone agreed that the staff at the overload control station may have accepted the benefits of the overloaded vehicle driver before releasing the overloaded vehicle.

They decided to launch a secret investigation in advance. They were sensitively aware that if there was bribery among the staff of Chonglun Supermarket, it would definitely not be just one or two people, and it would never be just Chonglun. Zhichao station is one station, but it may involve the entire Fangchenggang road administration system.

In the next few days, a few people appeared around Chonglun Zhichao Station and Chonglun Village, seemingly watching the fun and hanging out. They chatted with the villagers from time to time - they were plainclothes officers from the Procuratorate. The plainclothes officer quickly found out something. There is indeed a situation in Chonglun Zhichao Station that allows overloaded vehicles to "collect orders", and for a long time, there are several villagers in Chonglun Village acting as "98 guys".

Plainclothes targeted Weng Weikuan because the villagers reported that his "business" was the largest. The subsequent investigation found that Weng Weikuan's wife had a deposit of nearly 200,000 yuan in her account. Weng Weikuan ran a rickshaw and his wife farmed at home. How did they get so much income? Moreover, the running account reflects that over the past year, money has entered his account almost every two or three days. After checking the remitters, they were all drivers. Weng Weikuan is obviously involved in the case.

The Procuratorate decided to open a gap from Weng Weikuan.

The task force analyzed that Weng Weikuan has a low level of education and weak legal awareness. He may not even know that his behavior of giving money to road officials is an illegal and criminal act. He also likes to brag about his abilities. Starting with him can lead to a smoother transition into the entire case. 's door.

After six days and nights of tracking and ambushes, several investigators figured out Weng Weikuan’s activity pattern. He ran between the Supermarket Station and the bank almost every day, and made constant calls all day long.

The investigators invited him into the Procuratorate. "I heard that you have made a lot of money recently, with hundreds of thousands in the bank." The investigator asked him calmly.

One sentence aroused Weng Weikuan's habit of bragging. He was quite proud to tell the truth about treating the overloaded driver as a "gangster". However, when the investigators asked who the money had been given to, Then, he kept silent. Although he has a weak sense of law, he also knows that the procuratorate is responsible for handling cases. If all those who took bribes are caught, his future business will be cut off.

"Go back and think carefully about whether you should say yes or not. There is no doubt that your behavior is suspected of illegal crimes." The investigators were not in a hurry to take coercive measures against him and let him go back .

A few days later, the investigators summoned Weng Weikuan again. After a few days of consideration and weighing the pros and cons, the smart Weng Weikuan said to the investigators: "You have treated me with kindness and justice, and I will tell you all." This time he named all the bribe recipients and also revealed another person. "Ninety-eight guys".

With continued in-depth investigation, the case not only involves more than a dozen police officers at the Chonglun Supermarket Control Station, but also involves personnel from the Fangchenggang Road Administration Office, Shankou Road Administration Office and other road administration departments and traffic police. In October 2008, the police investigated and dealt with 26 cases and 26 people.

One person "collects the bill"

Everyone shares it equally

It is impossible to tell who started the act of "collecting the bill". At the beginning, most of them were because they received a call from a colleague: "I have a relative, and the goods in the car are a little too much. Please help me and let him go." Out of favor, I turned a blind eye. Only one eye.

Gradually, the news about someone "collecting orders" spread among the superintendents. Some people felt that there was an imbalance and that they were being used, and there was no trust between people. At this time, The idea of ??getting a "thank you fee" after helping someone came up. "Helping" slowly turns sour, and so does the friendship between colleagues.

Huang Yongjiu, who is in his 50s, is an "old comrade" among the police officers. He has rich social experience, but for a long time he did not know about "acquisition". One day, he stopped two vehicles for inspection. If they were found to be overloaded, they would be fined. At this time, his colleague Tang Shangping came over and asked to be let go. Seeing that the car was stopped, the driver muttered in confusion: "Why are you being fined even if you submit a bill?" Only then did Huang Yong know that Tang Shangping had collected the bill.

Huang Yongjiu and several people on duty were very angry with Tang Shangping. In order to appease the "public anger", Tang Shangping took out the money from "acquisition" and distributed it to everyone. At this point, everyone suddenly became a "community of interests", and the matter of "acquisition" came from the dark to the open. Later, everyone gradually reached a tacit understanding. No matter who is on duty, as long as they receive a "clearance" call from their colleagues, they will release the overloaded vehicle. After that, everyone will share the "one-way fee" equally. Sometimes the "single fee" driver does not pay immediately, and the "bill collector" will advance the money himself and distribute it to others.

Some of the supervising officers in the supervising teams communicate with each other and act collectively. Because everyone has a different "circle of friends", some people know more "customers" and some know less, so the amount of single fee received by each person is different. In order to avoid internal conflicts, people in the same team simply agreed on a unified "charging standard" and the money collected was divided equally. In this way, the matter of "acquisition" gradually spread.

As for the matter of "acquisition", it is not that they didn't know that it was illegal. When Tang Shangping was investigated and punished in 2008, he still remembered the first "acquisition" in August 2004 - accepting Weng Weikuan. It’s about the benefits and fees given. He told the investigators: "I know that the above-mentioned fee collection is unfair. I can't let go of the bill collection fee for fear of something happening. Therefore, although I did not keep a record of the fee collection, I can still I remembered that I charged Weng Weikuan and others a single fee.

"Although they were afraid of something going wrong, they continued to accept them due to greed and the lucky mentality that "the Supermarket Control Station is located in a remote location and no one will notice."

In 2006, Guangxi Hongdou.com had a Netizens exposed their "bill collection" and it was also reported that the highway department would investigate and deal with it. Some people were afraid and stopped, but there were still many people who "lurked" for a while and then made a comeback.

Normally. Every truck has to pass through the overload control station. Why can overloaded trucks be weighed smoothly without leaving any weight? This is actually very easy to do. According to a person in charge of weighing the truck, it should have been "reported". When the vehicle passes the weighing platform, he turns off the power of the portable mobile scale, so that naturally it cannot be weighed and no data is left. Moreover, he is often the only one present when weighing the vehicle. He shouted to his colleagues: "No! ”

Most of the more than 20 road administration personnel investigated and punished are under the age of 30 and have not been in the road administration system for a long time. It can be said that this is a relatively complex group with mixed quality, and it is also a group that is very vulnerable to temptations. Vulnerable groups.

Controlling overcrowding on expressways is a task that is frequently carried out by traffic and road management departments. Overtaking officers have certain powers of punishment, and there is room for rent-seeking.
