In order to boost their performance statistics, two police officers at Taipei City Police Department’s Zhongshan Precinct surnamed Huang and Tseng, on at least three occasions, incited a 45-year-old friend, surnamed Liang, who suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), to assist in fabricating testimonial statements and providing fictitious signatures as well as fingerprints. The fabricated statements were then used by the police officers to file applications to judges to provide search warrants. The two officers have been given deferred prosecutions after pleading guilty to their crimes.
Taipei District Court last Tuesday found Liang guilty on three counts of forgery of official documentation and handed Liang a combined eight-month custodial sentence, which cannot be commuted to a fine.
According to the investigation, between the months of August and October last year, Huang and Tseng used three fabricated written testimonials of narcotics use to apply for search warrants from Taipei District Court. Judges discovered the named individuals on the testimonial evidence in fact had no knowledge of providing the testimonies, saw through the ruse and duly reported the crimes to Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office.
