【Crossing thousands of miles to crack down on hidden cameras, encountering illegal blockades, with National Day approaching, everyone pay attention to safety - Bilibili】 b23.tv/s5hTChW

After watching the video, I felt very touched.
The context of the incident is relatively clear. In Shijiazhuang, some homestays and hotels have hidden cameras. The UP team teamed up with friends to detect and crack down on these hidden cameras. After a previous inspection revealed hidden cameras, a homestay owner threatened and intimidated UP's friends into signing a non-disclosure agreement and self-checked these cameras.
However, two months later, the UP team returned and found that hidden cameras still existed. So, the UP team collected evidence and reported to the police, leading to another verbal conflict with the homestay owner. During this process, there was an officer named "Officer Zhou" who mentioned that next time they encounter such an issue, they could notify him first to facilitate police work.
Subsequently, the UP team went to another hotel and found signs of hidden cameras, and as per Officer Zhou's request, they called him first. After confirming that there was no live broadcast, Officer Zhou did not dispatch police but instead notified other thugs to arrive at the scene to attack and beat the UP team, resulting in visible bleeding in later footage. These individuals even dragged the UP team to an area without surveillance for pushing and beating.
After the UP team reported to the police multiple times, the police finally appeared and took the UP team to the police station. However, after recording their statements, two or three dozen people blocked the entrance of the police station, wanting to beat the UP team. During this time, the police showed indifference to the situation, forcing the UP team to hide back in the police station. Later, taking advantage of the crowd outside not paying attention, they quickly drove away, with two of the four tires already punctured, escaping on the rims.
There are several important parties involved in this incident: the homestay owner and his gang, and Officer Zhou as the protector. The homestay owner actively installed hidden cameras and hired thugs to block the UP team at the police station. Officer Zhou provided the homestay owner's gang with inside information, avoided and delayed police dispatch, and tacitly allowed the blockade of the police station.
After so many years of fighting against organized crime, such a protective behavior can still emerge. As seen in the comments and bullet screens, when law enforcement and justice lose their fairness, people are deeply disappointed.
I once lived and studied in Hebei, and I understand that many friends in Hebei value loyalty. But the premise of such loyalty should be social justice. In ancient times, people who gathered based on loyalty to resist social injustice were admired as heroes. However, when a group gathers based on loyalty to create social injustice, they become criminals despised by everyone.
I hope to see follow-up actions regarding Officer Zhou's protective behavior and the illegal actions of the homestay owner’s gang. If Hebei cannot seriously address these behaviors and continues to cover up and protect them, then many people, like me, will not trust the safety and fairness of Hebei. Regardless of what they do, they will avoid this place.
In recent years, several cities in the country have gradually become popular tourist destinations. These cities do not have outstanding tourism resources, but through strict governance, they have made tourists aware that they will not be deceived or threatened when visiting. Even simple barbecues can attract massive traffic. In contrast, many traditional tourist cities are well-versed in harming tourists and collaborate with the government and police system to cover up. A few serious incidents that do not receive fair treatment will lead people to avoid these so-called tourist cities to mitigate risks. I hope this incident will provide a convincing and reassuring resolution from Hebei.
Finally, I suggest to UP that before carrying out such tasks, they can hire a security team from other cities to accompany them. In the future, do not believe in the nonsense of some police protecting their own; live stream the entire process. Since there is a lack of governance capability, no one should expect to maintain dignity.
