In the case of railway policeman Li Chenghan's death in the line of duty, the first instance verdict showed that the suspect was found not guilty due to mental evaluation, which caused a strong backlash from society. The Kuomintang held a press conference on the 6th, denounced Tsai Ing-wen's judicial reform as a complete failure, and demanded a specific schedule for the "judicial mental hospital."

Wang Zhenwen, the widow of Taipei County Criminal Police Captain Lin Anshun, who was shot dead by gangsters in 1997, said that the suspect who killed her husband was first acquitted. She worked on the case for 16 years, and finally the suspect was commuted to life imprisonment, but future suspects She will still be released from prison. She still feels like she has a nightmare. The judiciary basically despises the power of the police. She feels unfair for Li Chenghan and calls on Tsai Ing-wen to carry out judicial reform.
Police Families Representative Lin Huanwen even pointed out that when police encounter criminals with knives and guns, the police must first consider whether to fight back. What is the principle of proportionality in the use of police weapons? The police had guns but could not use them because they would have to write many reports after even using them.

In addition to proposing amendments to the law through the "Legislative Yuan" caucus to provide more comprehensive protective measures for police officers on duty to ensure the personal safety of police officers, the Kuomintang also called on the authorities to prepare a judicial psychiatric hospital as soon as possible so that patients with mental illness who need custody can be properly accommodated. and treatment to resolve society’s doubts and uneasiness about mentally ill criminals.

If the identification team determines that the defendant has no chance of recovery, he must have at least a lifelong isolation mechanism before he can be found not guilty. It is expected that the revision of the law will allow law enforcement officers to perform their duties. Sometimes there is more comprehensive protection.
In addition, Article 136-1 of the Criminal Law will also be proposed, adding that "anyone who commits rape and coercion with the intention of causing a civil servant to perform certain duties, hindering him from performing certain duties in accordance with the law, or causing a civil servant to resign, shall have his penalty increased by one-half. It is hoped that the revision of the law will provide more comprehensive protection for law enforcement officers when on duty, "I hope the authorities are serious. "
The Taipei City Retired Police Officers Association put forward two suggestions for improvement. First, strengthen police education and training, strengthen front-line police negotiation skills and crisis management capabilities, and establish simple and feasible standard operating procedures; second, establish substantial In the jury system, in addition to complying with the law, judges should also consider social opinions when trying cases. There is a balance between the legal "legal justice" and the people's "legal feelings". , to achieve a more appropriate balance.
