Taichung Police have published the names and photos of 16 repeat drug-driving offenders on Facebook to combat the issue. As of May 24, 665 cases have been recorded this year, with police emphasizing a 'zero-tolerance' policy. Under new regulations, a positive saliva test leads to immediate vehicle impoundment and license suspension. Repeat offenders within 10 years face increased fines and license revocation. Police expressed frustration at seeing repeat offenders, while some citizens have suggested implementing corporal punishment. The police hope that publicizing these names will serve as a deterrent.
