Sentry Mode

A man in Wuhan, China, faces criminal charges for vandalizing parked vehicles after being caught by a car’s “sentry mode.” The act, fueled by personal grievances, led to his swift apprehension. Already on probation for a similar offense, he is now charged with “picking quarrels and provoking trouble,” with potential penalties ranging from fines and detention, to several years in prison depending on the damage inflicted. The case underscores the legal consequences of property damage and the role of technology in modern surveillance.
