Core Viewpoint - The newly revised Public Security Administration Punishment Law, effective from January 1, 2024, addresses key issues such as the handling of dangerous animals, self-defense rights, and the treatment of minors in legal contexts, aiming to enhance public safety and legal clarity [1][2][9]. Group 1: Dangerous Animals and Public Safety - The revised law allows for direct administrative penalties for incidents involving dangerous animals, such as attacks by aggressive dogs, which previously relied on civil liability under the Civil Code [3][6]. - The new regulations aim to reduce the number of dangerous animals in society and provide stronger legal tools for the public to protect their rights in the face of threats from such animals [6]. Group 2: Self-Defense Rights - The law clarifies that citizens have the right to take necessary defensive measures against unlawful infringements, ensuring that self-defense actions are legally recognized [9][10]. - It emphasizes that self-defense must remain within reasonable limits to avoid excessive harm, and those acting in self-defense will not face administrative penalties [10]. Group 3: Law Enforcement Transparency - The revised law enhances the transparency of police enforcement by mandating full audio and video recording during interrogations and on-site inspections, which helps prevent disputes regarding the legality of enforcement actions [12][14]. - It standardizes the presentation of law enforcement credentials, reducing ambiguity that could lead to enforcement disputes [19]. Group 4: Minor Offenders and Bullying - The law introduces stricter measures for minors aged 14-16 who commit offenses, allowing for detention under specific circumstances, particularly for repeat offenders or serious violations [20][25]. - It establishes clear procedures for handling student bullying, requiring police to take action against bullying behaviors and mandating schools to report and address severe incidents [27][29]. - The law also allows for hearings for minors facing potential detention, ensuring that decisions are based on sufficient evidence and facts [32].
