The Hualien District Court ruled that Hualien Civil Affairs Director Ming Liangzhen should be released on bail of 500,000 NT dollars, while the prosecution stated that they would appeal. Ming Liangzhen is suspected of "checking the water meter" on citizens who signed a petition for his impeachment, leading to a search by investigators and his detention. Although the prosecution believes he has severely violated the Personal Data Protection Act and that detention is necessary, the court found no need for detention, only requiring bail and prohibiting contact with co-conspirators or witnesses. The prosecution expressed dissatisfaction with this ruling and will appeal in accordance with the law.

The Hualien District Court has ruled to grant bail of 500,000 NT dollars to Hualien Civil Affairs Department Director Ming Liangzhen, while the prosecution has stated that it will appeal the decision.

The "Hualien King," Kuomintang legislator Fu Kun-chi, faced a recall movement led by the green camp. Civil Affairs Department Director Ming Liangzhen was searched by the authorities due to suspicions of conducting "water meter checks" on citizens who participated in the recall. However, the Hualien District Court held a detention hearing today (26th) and determined that there was no need for detention, deciding instead to grant bail of 500,000 NT dollars and prohibiting contact with accomplices and witnesses. The prosecution expressed dissatisfaction with this ruling and indicated that they would appeal.

This incident has sparked controversy over the "water meter check," with the Hualien District Prosecutor’s Office conducting searches at the Hualien County Government and Hualien City Household Registration Office yesterday (25th), detaining seven individuals, and subsequently applying to the court for the detention and prohibition of contact with Ming Liangzhen. The prosecution accused the case of violating the Personal Data Protection Act, which carries serious charges, and argued that Ming Liangzhen might destroy evidence, collude with accomplices and witnesses, thus necessitating detention. However, after reviewing the evidence presented by the prosecutor, the parties' opinions, and the progress of the case, the Hualien District Court concluded that although the defendant was suspected of violating the Personal Data Protection Act, there was no necessity for detention. Ultimately, it ruled to grant bail of 500,000 NT dollars, prohibiting contact with accomplices or witnesses. The prosecution expressed dissatisfaction with this ruling and stated that it would file an appeal according to the law.
