Chinese Citizens to Local Cops: Say “Please”
Breaking News March 10th, 2008
A campaign that calls for better etiquette from local policemen was launched in Beijing. Citizens, through the campaign, are calling for law enforcers to use words such as “good morning” and “please” upon pulling over a motorist.
According to reports, this pro-courtesy campaign also asks that policemen greet drivers with salutes and “etiquette words.”
Xinhua reported that Beijing asks that its law enforcers, upon beginning an inspection of a driver, start with the statements “Good Morning. You have violated the traffic rules. Your driving license please.” Also, they are also requested to their inspections with phrases of similar nature, such as “Please abide by traffic rules. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Police will be monitored on their interactions with motorists, and those who fail to comply with the campaign’s regulations are faced with possible termination.
Other regulations that have been enforced upon local law officials, according to UPI, include bans on smoking, eating, and conversing while on duty. The set of new rules started being introduced to the local community last year.
