Police who put up banner expressing riders who violates the traffic law as a "dog", remove said banner = Korea
Korean police caused controversy with a banner that represents motorcyclists who violates traffic regulations as "dogs."

This banner describes "concentrated crackdown on traffic law violations", targets are; signal violations, riding on sidewalks, unlicensed, drunk driving, etc., and police are cracking down on dogs riding motorcycles.

The police station had put up banners at 15 locations along the roads under its jurisdiction on June 17th to prevent the number of motorcycles delivered from the COVID-19 virus to increase rapidly and to prevent their violation of traffic regulations.

Upon seeing this, the "Justice Party" Chungcheongnam-do Party immediately raised the issue. On June 21st, a news report was issued saying, "This is like people who violate traffic regulations and delivery workers who use motorcycles for economic activities would be all dogs." They stated, "We have to say we were stunned to see the ridiculous banners the police put up in the city."

They continued, "The banner related to the violation of traffic regulations seems to express that everyone is in vain contact with the citizens. It is rude. It is an expression that insults many delivery workers (riders). Official apologize to the delivery worker."

The police said, "We decided that it was possible to think that way in response to such a protest by the rider union and removed all the banners."
