A police official stated, “Insurance fraud endangers the existence of the automobile insurance system and leads to increased insurance premiums, which ultimately burdens the general public as a whole. If you experience a traffic accident suspected of insurance fraud, you should promptly keep the black box memory chip containing the recorded footage of the accident and report it to the nearest police station.”
