Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Taipei City Councilor Hsu Chiao-hsin (徐巧芯) sparked a controversy for allegedly pressuring a police officer not to give her a parking ticket.
On Tuesday last week, she and her husband parked their vehicle in a no parking zone in a lane along Guangfu S Road in the capital before going into a restaurant. The officer’s body cam footage, which was later released, showed Hsu’s husband emerging from the restaurant and spotting the officer checking their vehicle’s license plate. The police officer told him that he would be receiving a parking ticket.

Subcontractors fined after rods fall at Taipei Dome
By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter
Two subcontractors for the Taipei Dome project have been fined a total NT$90,000 after steel rods fell from the construction site onto a road, the Taipei City Government said yesterday.
Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Taipei City Councilor Hsu Chiao-hsin (徐巧芯) said she received a tip-off about reinforcing steel rods having fallen from the structure, smashing an outer fence and landing partly on the road surface of Guangfu S Road at about 8am on Sunday.
The incident was captured by the dashboard camera of a vehicle parked on the road, Hsu said, adding that fortunately no one was passing by the area at the time, which prevented injuries.
