Police Get Punished for Fining Huggers

Written on August 31, 2007 – 10:10 pm | by Bill |

It sounds like something that would happen in Berkeley.

Everybody gets naked and hugs trees. The police come in to drag them out by their private parts and the law enforcers end up getting punished.

Except…the news is in China!

Three policemen were forced to go back on their actions and apologize for detaining and fining two young lovers 5,000 yuan ($800) for hugging in public.

Yeah…I know China is a no-touch society. But, there has to be some touching for there to be 1.3 billion people, no?

Just don’t do it in public…or maybe it is okay after all…to just hug that is.

As the two hugged…the police came and took them away, demanding 5,000 yuan.

When the couple went online to make known what happened, it was the policemen’s turn to be dragged in.

In the end, the police returned the money and were forced to apologize.

Yeah…the rules for Valentine’s Day are not the same everywhere.

A victory for a bit of free speech…thanks to the Internet, eh?
