During the process of handling administrative violations, KVĐ used his mobile phone to record the incident. After returning home, due to frustration and under the influence of alcohol, KVĐ used his personal Facebook account to post an article about traffic police, including a caption with vulgar, derogatory, and threatening language directed at the police, along with an image and a self-recorded video of the traffic police handling the violation. The post attracted many views, likes, and comments from the community.
