At noon on October 21, a clip appeared on social media showing circus artists Quoc Co - Quoc Nghiep performing a head stack while driving.

In the clip, it can be seen that both circus artists Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep were not wearing helmets while driving, and were performing head-to-head stunts while the vehicle was moving.

In the clip of the two circus artists Quoc Co - Quoc Nghiep, there is also a small line of text that appears with the content "Performed by professional circus performers in a controlled area. Please do not attempt to imitate in any form".

The leader of the Traffic Police Department (PC08, Ho Chi Minh City Police) informed that the Traffic Police had received a clip being shared on social media about the image of Quoc Co - Quoc Nghiep appearing with an electric motorbike running but not wearing a helmet, performing a head-to-head performance.

The incident of two circus artists Quoc Co - Quoc Nghiep has caused public opinion to compare with the case of lingerie model Ngoc Trinh being prosecuted and temporarily detained on October 19 for "disturbing public order". Previously, Ngoc Trinh posted many clips of herself riding a motorbike with both hands off the wheel, lying on the saddle, and sitting to one side while driving on social media, causing public outrage.

Clarify the purpose of posting on cyberspace?

Lawyer Le Van Hoan (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) said that according to the Law on Cyber ​​Security, individuals and organizations using cyberspace are not allowed to provide or disseminate information on cyberspace with content that incites riots, disrupts security, or disturbs public order; are not allowed to call, mobilize, incite, threaten, or entice crowds to gather to cause trouble, resist law enforcement officers, obstruct the activities of agencies and organizations, causing instability in security and order; and other acts using cyberspace, information technology, and electronic means to violate the law on national security, social order and safety.

Therefore, according to lawyer Hoan, if individuals or organizations violate, depending on the nature and severity of the violation, they will be subject to disciplinary action, administrative sanctions or criminal prosecution; if causing damage, they must compensate according to the provisions of law.

“There are cases where the behavior may be similar but the purpose and motive are different, and most importantly, is the behavior performed and then recorded and posted on cyberspace intended to incite riots, disrupt security, disturb public order, call for, mobilize, incite, threaten, or entice crowds to gather to cause trouble?”, lawyer Hoan analyzed and said that the authorities need to verify and clarify the context, conditions, and legal framework of the clip recording to be able to conclude whether the behavior violates the law or not.

Lawyer Hoan emphasized that the case of Quoc Co - Quoc Nghiep may be compared to the case of Ngoc Trinh by many people. However, as analyzed above, the authorities need to clarify whether there is a basis for handling or not, and if so, whether it is an administrative or criminal violation.

Regarding the case of two circus artists Quoc Co - Quoc Nghiep, lawyer Bui Duc Tuan (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) also affirmed that Article 30 of the Road Traffic Law strictly prohibits motorcyclists from letting go of both hands or riding with one wheel for 2-wheeled vehicles, with two wheels for 3-wheeled vehicles; other acts that cause disorder and traffic safety.

"The actions of Quoc Co and Quoc Nghiep, regardless of their purpose, violate the law. However, to determine administrative and criminal penalties, it is necessary to clarify the level of violation of security, order and social safety," said lawyer Tuan.
