Covid-19 violator accuses stranger of violating rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n

Since the Covid-19 mobility restrictions began on 9th July, Saigon police officers have detected and dealt with numerous violations. There are people who have to be out on emergent trips, but there are also those who can\u2019t explain why they\u2019re out.<\/span><\/p>\n

In cases like these, it\u2019s better to just pay the penalty and go home in peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a Covid-19 violator that went viral this morning reacted in a manner that couldn\u2019t have been more embarrassing. Instead of standing corrected, she decided to <\/span>bring another person down with her<\/b> by telling the police that a lady nearby was also violating the rules for being outdoors. It turns out that the wrongly accused lady was <\/span>a cleaning worker <\/b>and had every right to be out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the story unfolded.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a clip by TikTok user Vi\u1ec7t Ho\u00e0ng<\/a> that went viral this morning, a young lady was seen being pulled over by patrol officers on Nguyen Hue Street in District 1.\u00a0 She said that she was on her way to buy some fruits.<\/p>\n

While explaining her case to the officers, she suddenly looked to the other side of the street and pointed to a lady who was walking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat auntie is also walking around,\u201d she told the officer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to her tip, which was not so subtle, the officer motioned his colleague to approach the walking lady nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing a police officer coming her way for an investigation, the lady was flustered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She explained to the officer that she was a cleaning worker in the area and was rightfully out on the streets to do her cleaning job.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What a twist!<\/span><\/p>\n

The violator\u2019s attempt to take a stranger down with her failed terribly. She had no alternative but to pay her penalty, while the lady who was falsely reported must have breathed a sigh of relief, or had a good laugh if she knew why the police noticed her.<\/span><\/p>\n

Netizens are angry at the violator’s behavior<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Since the footage of the girl went live this morning, it has garnered 2 million views and thousands of comments. Most viewers criticize the girl\u2019s unlawful behavior and unusual reaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

TikTok user <\/span>Tu\u1ea5n Anh<\/span><\/a> commented, \u201cIf you have bad luck, you endure it alone. The other lady looks like she\u2019s in reduced circumstances. It will be terrible for her if she really has to pay a penalty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHer friends who watch the clip must be like: I swear I\u2019ll never hang out with her again. If she goes down, she makes sure that we\u2019re going down with her.\u201d TikTok user <\/span>Hoa Gi\u1ea5y<\/span><\/a> commented.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hurt people hurt people<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

As a famous phrase goes, \u201cHurt people hurt people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This can\u2019t be any truer for this story, in which a violator wanted to take someone down with her.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We can totally relate to the girl\u2019s wish to see justice being equally served, but in this case, it turned out to be her undoing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, this story reminds everyone to not emerge on the streets without a valid reason. Otherwise, you might get yourself into some very awkward situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
