Signese

Somehow I got the impression that

the police write up random people but let people they know get away with worse infractions

Or something (???).

What does 差人 mean here? It's not in MDBG. TW MOE Revised seems to say that it's some type of official officer. [i assume it's chai1ren2, not cha4ren2 here.]

If so, my guess is

A. The police

B. Corrupt police

C. Because if you file a complaint against the police, the police that handle the case are in with the guilty people, and just ignore it.

BTW, why the Japanese "の", in addition to the 的?

Yes the meaning of 差人 is as in the Taiwan MOE dictionary -> http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/words/1458/

And it is not Japanese, it is 啲 -> http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/characters/850/

Ah, thanks, I totally misread 啲 as の的. That makes more sense now.

It is not a Taiwan dictionary it is Cantonese. 差人 is Cantonese for police.

It is not a Taiwan Dictionary it is Cantonese. 差人 is Cantonese for police.

Are you sure? Have you read the Taiwan MOE dictionary?

To help you, I paste below the content of the relevant entry of the Taiwan MOE Dictionary for your reference -

2. 差人

相似詞　警察、警員

(1)官府的衙役。二刻拍案驚奇卷二十一：「睡到次日天明，來到店中看看，打發差人李彪出去探訪，仍留王惠在店。」儒林外史第五回：「衙門裡的差人，因妹丈有碗飯喫，他們做事，只揀有頭髮的抓，若說不管他，就更要的人緊了。」

(2)派人。西遊記第二回：「朱儁引兵圍住陽城攻打，一面差人打探皇甫嵩消息。」

PS - When I said "are you sure", I meant "are you sure it is not in the Taiwan MOE Dictionary". I have re-read yeut's post and it seems that s/he might be referring to the hyperlink not being a Taiwan dictionary. If so, that is right.

Is there a way to create a permanent link to the desired entry of the Taiwan MOE Dictionary?

It's

That is not a "no" in Japanese. It's 多口的
