Detention over parking ticket abuse

A driver in Yan'an has been punished with a week in detention after he wrote abusive comments on his WeChat Moments feed about a traffic police officer who gave him a parking ticket. The man, surnamed Li, 27, found the ticket on his car, which had been left illegally in a no-parking zone, at about 4 pm on Feb 20. He took the photo of the ticket and later posted it on his WeChat Moments along with abusive language about the police officer. Li was summoned to the police station the next day.
