Do the police at the police station need to show their certificates when they go to the hotel for inspection?

When the police station goes to the hotel for inspection, they need to show their certificates.

It is illegal for a police station to inspect a hotel without showing its certificates. Article 87 of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Public Security Administration Punishment Law clearly stipulates that:

The public security organ may inspect places, articles and personnel related to acts violating the administration of public security. At the time of inspection, there shall be no less than two people's policemen, and they shall show their work certificates and inspection certificates issued by the public security organs of the people's governments at or above the county level.

If it is really necessary to conduct an immediate inspection, the people's police may conduct an on-site inspection after producing their work certificates, but when inspecting citizens' houses, they shall produce the inspection certificate issued by the public security organs of the people's governments at or above the county level.

Female physical examination should be carried out by female staff.

Extended data:

When a police station goes to a hotel for inspection, it must first show its police identity, and there must be more than two law enforcement officers. It should be noted that everyone must hold a people's police card.

The public security organ has the right to verify the identity of the accommodation personnel, and the police at the police station can contact the hotel to forcibly open the door and inspect the accommodation personnel. Public security organs are mandatory and their actions are legal.

The hotel shall ensure the normal operation of the hotel's front desk equipment, install video monitoring equipment that meets the requirements of laws, regulations and standards in public areas such as the front desk, entrances and exits, main passages, elevator cars and parking lots, and ensure the normal operation during business hours.

The police must protect the privacy and other legitimate rights and interests of residents, the normal operation and business secrets of operators according to law. The relevant information known in the work should be kept strictly confidential.

The police officers of the police station who abuse their powers, neglect their duties, engage in malpractices for selfish ends or disclose the information of the accommodation personnel will be given administrative sanctions according to law until they are investigated for criminal responsibility and compensated for the losses caused to the accommodation personnel.
