On July 7, 2024, Judge Lou was reported to have granted bail to Mayor Cheng Wen-tsan, who is currently detained on corruption charges; it was revealed that the father of the female judge, surnamed Deng, who made the bail decision, was actually a close ally of Cheng, having worked with him during his tenure in the news bureau and the Taoyuan City Government. This revelation led Taoyuan City Councilor Ling Tao to criticize the judge for failing to avoid suspicion and for being lenient towards Cheng, deeming it highly questionable. Ling Tao also expressed concerns about various ongoing land development cases and repeated requests for search warrants being denied by judges at the Taoyuan District Court. The court clarified that all procedures were conducted according to regulations, addressing the public's criticisms.
