The court has rejected an arrest warrant for Sarangjeil Church pastor and elder that broke quarantine.
According to a report by JTBC on the 25th, the arrest warrant sought by police for Reverend Jeon Kwang Hoon of Sarangjeil Church who escaped from the hospital while under quarantine has been rejected.
Police investigation conducted by police last month confirmed that pastor Jeon and elder Kim destroyed data and CCTV and hid several external hard drives that contained the footage. Police sought arrest warrants on charges of obstructing epidemiological investigations and violating the Infectious Diseases Prevention Act but the court has ruled against the warrant.
The court stated, "It's hard to say that theres a fear they'll run away or destroy evidence. There's also room for dispute over whether the request for CCTV records meets the required epidemiological methods set by the Act. The Act does not specify whether epidemiological investigation methods call for questionings or interviews nor review of CCTV footage."
- [+1,045 -54] Reveal that judge's name! Is it really that hard not to reject the warrant? Is he crazy?!
- [+531, -12] Identifying and tracing points of contact is the first step in an epidemiological investigation so they need CCTV to check who came in and out. He's the one that deleted that CCTV but he didn't obstruct the investigation? What the heck is that interpretation of the law...really questionable.
- [+254, -14] We need to kill off the rotten ba$tards in the judiciary. The law is not your toy!!!
- [+147, -10] That trash judge needs to be jailed!
- [+64, -1] Wow~even the Incheon academy instructor got jailed. Only trash ba$tards cut the tail. Anyone else wouldn't be able to get away if they did something like this. They're all rotten.
- [+40, -1] What was the judge even thinking? He clearly obstructed the investigation during the early phase because he deleted data and CCTV footage. How did he not violate quarantine law? Is he being serious right now?
- [+29, -1] Judges are the reason why our country is in a mess
- [+25, -2] Release the name of the judge! His ruling is no different from the trash pastor that intentionally obstructed quarantine.
