A Taiwanese man named Chen was initially fined $20,000 for insulting a police officer in Taiwanese dialect during a dispute when he was caught illegally vending on the sidewalk. However, Chen appealed, and the Taiwan High Court cited a recent Constitutional Court ruling on insulting public officials to determine that Chen's actions did not reach the level of insulting an officer. The court found that Chen was merely expressing dissatisfaction with the officer's conduct and did not hinder the execution of official duties, leading to his acquittal. The original ruling was overturned, and Chen was pronounced innocent.
