Liu Xu is 29 years old and Chen Ling is 27 years old. Both of them are from Shanghai. After graduating from college, they both worked in foreign companies. They are considered white-collar elites and have good incomes. Later, they met with each other through a friend's introduction and fell in love quickly.

The two originally planned to get married next year, but they were afraid that they would have fewer opportunities to go out to play after getting married, so they saved enough holidays. They decided to go to the United States for a self-driving tour this year. They landed in Atlanta, rented a car and set off.

Liu Xu also asked the car rental agency if his Chinese driver's license could be used. The other party said with certainty that the Chinese driver's license was completely fine. The two of them got on the road like this and went all the way to see the scenery of the United States, which felt pretty good.

But just yesterday evening, when they drove into Houston, a police car roared in front of them, and two policemen with pistols on their waists were getting off. One of the fat policemen shouted to them: "Get out of the car for inspection, don't make dangerous moves."

Both of them worked in foreign companies and were very good at English, so they could naturally understand the police's meaning. However, both of them were frightened by this sudden inspection. They had seen such a scene there.

After getting off the car, Liu Xu said, "Mr. Police officer, we are tourists from China. We did not do anything illegal." As Liu Xu said, he wanted to take out his driver's license and hand it to the other party.

Just as Liu Xu took out his driver's license, the two policemen's faces changed drastically. The hands that were originally placed on the gun holster immediately took out their pistols and pointed them at Liu Xu, shouting loudly: "You are a bitch, take out your hand, otherwise I will shoot."

Chen Ling didn't get out of the car, but was already scared. The moment he saw the American police pointing gun at Liu Xu, he screamed unconsciously.

Liu Xu's face turned pale and suddenly became at a loss. He was stunned.

"Take it out, I'll order you to take it out. Otherwise I'll kill you directly, don't test my patience." The fat policeman shouted loudly again.

Liu Xu was finally awakened and slowly pulled out his hand, holding a black-skinned Chinese driver's license in his hand.

Two policemen found that the other party did not take out dangerous assault weapons. One person covered him, and the other person came up and kicked Liu Xu to the ground. During this period, the two policemen also hit Liu Xu a few times, then handcuffed him brutally, and then the two carried Liu Xu and threw him in the back seat of the police car.

But the matter was not over here. After Liu Xu was taken to the police station, he was questioned. Now Liu Xu realized that things were a little troublesome because the police actually sued Liu Xu for driving without a license.

Oh my God, driving without a license will be arrested. They are just coming to travel and have not made any mistakes. And he has asked when renting a car. The owner of the car rental store said that a Chinese driver's license can be used.

Fortunately, Liu Xu finally asked for medical treatment because when he was arrested, the two policemen beat him and he was indeed injured. In the end, Liu Xu paid $2,000 in bail at the police station before he was able to get out. He was also detained his passport and driver's license, asking them to take the ruling after they were cured.

Far away from abroad, Liu Xu and Chen Ling cried all night in the hospital ward. Liu Xu's injury was not serious, but only a slight bruise and sprain. However, they really didn't know how to deal with the police's case. Finally, Liu Xu thought of an automatic text message received by the mobile phone when the plane landed when he arrived. There was a safety reminder from the Embassy in the United States to Chinese citizens coming to the United States, and a telephone number from the consular protection center. Finally, Liu Xu called the consular protection center.

After listening to the two of them, Mu Yang felt that this matter was indeed a bit troublesome, but after all, he had just arrived and didn't know the situation in the United States. He believed that an elderly man like Qian Chang should know how to do such things. What he needs to do now is to learn more and read more.

"I hope the embassy can help us. Our passports have been seized and the police have to sue us. But I don't think we have made any mistakes. Those police beat people indiscriminately. Before coming, they said that the United States respects human rights and freedom, but how can those American police treat us like this?" Chen Ling said crying.

Chen Ling was indeed frightened yesterday, but now she still feels scared when she thinks about it.

Qian Chang said: "Don't worry, our Embassy Consular Protection Center does this. When you are away, we will do our best to help you overcome the difficulties. But I will tell you a few things first and let you understand the key to the problem."

"Liu Xu, you made a fatal mistake when you were inspected by the police. Those American police did not shoot, which is already your luck. You should know that the United States is a country where guns cannot be stopped. The average guns here have reached more than two per person. When those American police respond to the inspection, their first eyes cannot leave the hands of the person being inspected. When you go to take out your driver's license, those police will definitely be very nervous."

"There have been many such cases in the United States. The suspects did not listen to the police's warnings and made actions that the police thought were dangerous, and then were shot dead directly. Although it was later confirmed that some suspects did not use attack weapons, the police were still innocent. This is the law and current situation in the United States."

"The second question is, the police say that you drive without a license, and you are carrying a Chinese driver's license." Qian Chang asked.

"Yes, but I had already asked the boss when I rented a car. He said that there is no problem with Chinese driver's licenses." Liu Xu said.

Qian Chang nodded and said, "Maybe the owner of the car rental store did not explain it clearly, or maybe you didn't understand it. I'll explain the specific situation to you. In the United States, the laws of each state are different. Atlanta is the capital of Georgia, and Georgia recognizes Chinese driver's licenses, so the boss is not wrong."

"But not all states in the United States recognize Chinese driver's licenses, including Arkansas, Hawaii, Kentucky, Saschachts, Michigan, New Jersey, Vermont, Texas, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. You cannot just use a Chinese driver's license, you must carry an international driver's license at the same time."

"Houston is in Texas and does not directly recognize Chinese driver's licenses. Do you have an international driver's license?" Qian Chang asked.

Liu Xu's face suddenly became very ugly, and he said softly: "No, I don't know there are any regulations on this."

Chen Ling asked anxiously: "What should I do? Will Liu Xu be sentenced? Secretary Qian and Secretary Mu, please help us. We just don't understand, and we are not intentionally violating the law."

"Don't worry, we will definitely help you. I understand your situation now. In this way, you can first recover with peace of mind. Let's go to the police station to communicate, hoping to be fined and then solve the past matter." Qian Chang said.

"Okay, I can pay the fine, but I don't want to go to jail." Liu Xu was deeply afraid of possible detention.

Qian Chang stood up, patted Liu Xu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, things are not that bad yet, waiting for our news."

When he walked out of the hospital and came to the car, Mu Yang couldn't help asking, "Brother Qian, how do we deal with this matter."
