Mistaken Identity in Kaohsiung: Police Detain Woman, Realizing Error After Over an Hour

Kaohsiung Police Face Criticism After Incorrectly Identifying a Woman as an Accomplice of a Wanted Criminal.

In Kaohsiung, a recent incident has sparked controversy regarding police procedures. A woman, identified as Ms. Lin, was mistakenly apprehended by officers from the Fengshan Precinct. The incident occurred last night while Ms. Lin was enjoying a stroll after returning a book at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center.

The officers, unfortunately, misidentified her as an associate of a wanted individual involved in a narcotics case and brought her to the police station. She was detained for over an hour before the police realized their error.

The details of the incident quickly went viral online, with social media posts criticizing the police's actions. The Fengshan Precinct of the Kaohsiung City Police Department has since issued a statement acknowledging the mistake, attributing it to a misunderstanding by officers from the Zhongxiao Road Police Station. They have admitted to the error.
