The "fatal" reason why Ngoc Trinh was detained, only requires administrative punishment if she does not do one thing

Regarding Ngoc Trinh being prosecuted and detained, many people cannot help but wonder. Because previously, the female model was fined 17 million VND, so would prosecuting her conflict with the principle that an act can only be prosecuted once?

According to information from Tuoi Tre, on October 19, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Investigation Police Department (PC01) issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the defendant, and order the arrest of the defendant to temporarily detain Tran. Thi Ngoc Trinh (34 years old, living in District 7, current residence in Thu Duc City) to investigate the crime of "disturbing public order" (stipulated in Article 318 of the Penal Code). The above decisions and orders have been approved by the People's Procuracy of Ho Chi Minh City.

According to the Police Investigation Agency, professional units of Ho Chi Minh City Police conducted verification and resolved criminal information regarding activities related to the act of riding large displacement motorbikes, "performing" with Dangerous actions on the road in Thu Duc City carried out by Ngoc Trinh.

Afterwards, Ngoc Trinh's personal pages on social networking platforms posted and spread these videos, causing public outrage.

The investigating police agency determined that Ngoc Trinh did not have a class A2 motorbike driving license, but on October 6, Ngoc Trinh was driving a motorbike with license plate number 59A3-115.88 (BMW brand, cylinder capacity 999cm3) in circulation. "performed" on the D15 street of the High-Tech Park (Tang Nhon Phu B ward, Thu Duc city).

With dangerous driving movements, offensive postures, not wearing protective gear, lying, kneeling on the saddle..., videos were recorded and posted on social networks.

Ho Chi Minh City Police consider that the above behavior has caused insecurity, order, and traffic safety in the locality, the People's Committee of Thu Thiem Ward (Thu Duc City) and the Traffic Safety Committee of Tang Nhon Phu B Ward (Thu City) Duc) has submitted a written request to the Police Investigation Agency of Ho Chi Minh City Police to consider handling Ngoc Trinh in accordance with the provisions of law.

Authorities stepped in to verify and administratively fine Ngoc Trinh for violating the Road Traffic Law. Specifically, the female model drove her motorbike in violation of driving a vehicle with a hidden license plate, without a vehicle registration, and without a driver's license. Ngoc Trinh's total administrative fine is more than 17 million VND.

Regarding the fact that Ngoc Trinh was detained for 3 months despite previously being administratively fined, many people expressed confusion. Recently, lawyer Tran Minh Hung - Head of the Family Law Office (HCMC) shared with Nguoi Lao Dong reporter. He informed that Article 318 of the 2015 Penal Code, amended and supplemented in 2017, stipulates the crime of disturbing public order as follows:

People who disrupt public order and adversely affect security, order, and social safety have either been administratively sanctioned for this act or have been convicted of this crime and have not yet had their criminal records expunged. Violators will be fined from 5-50 million VND, non-custodial reform for up to 2 years or imprisonment from 3 months to 2 years.

Based on this regulation, according to lawyer Hung, objectively, criminals have committed acts of disturbing public order, disregarding order in crowded places such as markets, schools... The basis for criminal prosecution for acts of disturbing public order is that they cause a negative impact on security, order, and social safety or have been administratively sanctioned for this act or have been convicted. Regarding this crime, the criminal record has not been erased but is still being violated.

Lawyer Hung shared that it is possible that the authorities believe that model Ngoc Trinh's behavior has a negative impact on security, order, and social safety. In addition, Ngoc Trinh has a high number of followers on social networks, so her videos will affect her fans, easily causing negative effects for others. After being administratively fined, the clip was requested to be removed but Ngoc Trinh did not remove it... so maybe that was the reason the authorities prosecuted the case and prosecuted the accused.
