High Prosecutors Office Integrates Six Major Anti-Drug Systems to Launch Nationwide Crackdown on Drug-Impaired Driving

To curb the dangers of emerging drugs and drug-impaired driving, the High Prosecutors Office held a meeting today to launch a "Nationwide Drug-Impaired Driving Crackdown Operation." The office has integrated six major anti-drug systems—prosecutors, investigation bureaus, police, coast guard, military police, and customs—to conduct a comprehensive crackdown until the end of June. The policy focuses on strong enforcement, strict prosecution, requesting detention, and seeking heavier sentences. The High Prosecutors Office stated that for repeat offenders or those causing injury or death, they will actively request detention and appeal if sentences are deemed too lenient. They also aim to strengthen the tracing of new drugs like etomidate and urge the public to report dangerous driving.
