A police officer surnamed Liu from Taipei's Sixth Police Precinct was sentenced to 1 year and 2 months in prison, with a 2-year probation, for unlawfully accessing personal data of 6 individuals while on duty conducting investigations under false pretenses of solving crimes and apprehending fugitives. Despite admitting to the crime, the court considered that Liu did not gain any benefit from misusing the information and had reached settlements with some of the affected parties, resulting in the lighter sentence. The case serves as a reminder not to replicate such misconduct.
