In the past, the carriages and horses were very slow, everything was slow, and it might take days to get from one city to another. Today's vehicles are fast, everything is fast, and even the speed of technological updates is far faster than we think, and the trunk is a good example.
In the beginning, luggage was actually very bulky, and it was not as light as it is now. Some people may think that the current suitcase is ordinary, but you must know that this thin suitcase can be taken away as long as it can be stuffed in.
And now, the trunk has evolved to a new level, it can not only carry luggage, but also carry people with it. That's what electric luggage is. It looks like an ordinary box, but as soon as it is unfolded, it is a scooter.
However, is such a suitcase that can be loaded and ridden considered a box or a car? No one has ever seriously thought about this issue, after all, this electric luggage can only be used under certain circumstances.
However, it is precisely this confusion that gives rise to disputes. On June 27, media reported that a Chinese student had been punished by the Japanese police for her electric suitcase, accusing her of violating the road traffic law and driving without a license.
But the term driving refers to vehicles, and Chinese students are riding their own suitcases, how should this be defined? Some people also say, does this accusation mean that you have to get an electric luggage driver's license for this electric luggage?
The point is, even if you have to take the exam, does the state arrange to issue this type of certificate? It is precisely because of this seemingly absurd accusation that this small matter has attracted a lot of attention during this time, and you can see it by clicking on a web page at random.
Of course, the accused Chinese students are not convinced, after all, this is a suitcase, and there is no corresponding basis for the punishment and accusations of the police. International students believe that they are innocent from beginning to end, and this punishment is a disaster.
Moreover, it is said that the international student did not approve of the Japanese police's handling at that time, and she planned to fight for her rights to the end even if she hired a lawyer. This kind of unreasonableness has further fermented this matter, and the heat has further increased.
In the end, the Chinese embassy in Japan learned about the incident. However, the embassy's attitude is still relatively restrained, and after reminding the local Chinese to abide by the laws of other countries, it does not forget to say that it will provide certain assistance if necessary.
Of course, this heat has to do with the first-time nature of the matter. In fact, the use of electric suitcases is far more than just Chinese students, this kind of convenient, labor-saving and a bit fun suitcase, the Japanese themselves are also using it, but it is the first time that they have been punished.
Because it is the first time, there is no case to learn from, and there is no provision for this emerging product in the law, which makes the police somewhat "unlawable" when punishing, so the heat has come up, and the police have also felt the pressure.
In fact, such laws do not keep pace with the development of human society from time to time. Generally speaking, the progress of human society comes first, and the revision of laws comes later. It's like patching up the law, and little by little it fits into the current society.
However, judging from the fact that Japan caught this Chinese student and punished him, it was somewhat unconvincing to everyone. After all, the streets are full of this kind of electric luggage, and if you really want to manage it, the corresponding regulations should have come out a long time ago.
But this matter may turn around because of this loophole, no one can say for sure. Interestingly, after this incident attracted attention, there were Japanese reporters who went to investigate the use of electric luggage.
It is said that the reporter observed on the streets of Osaka that riding an electric suitcase is not an uncommon phenomenon at all, and you can see a person riding an electric suitcase almost a few steps away. In order to better understand the situation, the reporter also randomly grabbed passers-by for interviews.
The reporter's random interview led to an expected result, that is, when interviewing passers-by, most of them did not know the rules that electric luggage cannot be driven on the road, and after the reporter reminded them, those people were still riding.
In fact, the incident of "driving without a license" for the first time in Japan to catch electric luggage has indeed reminded many Chinese in Japan to abide by local laws, but more importantly, perhaps the relationship between social development and law is thought-provoking.
Through this incident, it should be recognized that the law, as a norm to ensure the normal operation of the state and society, also needs to be constantly adjusted and changed, so it is still unknown where this matter will go.
