In New Taipei City's Sanxia old street, a landlord is deeply troubled as police officers have been issuing fines claiming the area as a 'sidewalk-like' illegal vending spot, accumulating over 5,000 tickets. The court ruling confirmed that this is private land, not a sidewalk, and revoked fines of over two million. The landlord is now applying for state compensation due to business losses from reduced rentals caused by the fines. The case has been ongoing for over six years as the landlord fought back against the fines, with the recent ruling revealing that the fines were unjustified, easing some financial burden but leaving the business impacted by constant police visits and the fear of future fines.
