According to the indictment, Hu went to a hotel on Jianguo 3rd Road on Dec. 17, 2024, showed his police ID and told hotel staff he needed to review surveillance footage for a fraud investigation. Hu was also accused of photographing Sun arriving at Chang’s residence on Jan. 4, 2025, then making or arranging three 110 calls under false names to report that Chang was meeting a woman at home during working hours.

Prosecutors said surveillance footage showed movement near the storeroom area. The inmate told investigators he had deliberately moved part of his foot into view of the camera in the hope that someone would notice something was wrong.

The report also found that most violations occurred during off-peak hours, which accounted for 75 percent to more than 85 percent of cases. The bureau said lighter traffic may cause some drivers to lower their guard or take more risks. Among peak periods, violations were more common from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. than during the morning rush hour, with the afternoon peak about 5 percent to 10 percent higher. The bureau said the difference could be linked to drivers rushing after work or school.
