This is another case of social media getting people in trouble. 23-year-old Beijing model Wang Xiaomeng has been given a nine-month suspended sentence for impersonating a police officer after posting pictures of herself posing as a cop on Weibo, the Chinese version of Twitter.
In addition to the pictures, Xiaomeng posted this comment:
None
Xiaomeng deleted the photos after a wave of negative comments, but the pictures sparked a heated debate among Weibo users. Some felt it was obvious that she had no illegal intentions, while others believed she had tarnished the image of law enforcement officers.
It's definitely not that serious.
