Where is the car with the license plate 'Min 0' from?

Min O is the license plate of the Fujian Provincial Public Security Department. Here is its introduction: 1. The first character of the license plate is a Chinese character: representing the abbreviation of the province where the vehicle is registered. For example, Beijing is 'Jing', Tianjin is 'Jin', Shanghai is 'Hu', and Chongqing is 'Yu'. 2. The second character is an English letter: representing the code of the prefecture-level city where the vehicle is located. Generally, it is divided by the provincial vehicle management office based on the conditions of each prefecture-level city. Usually, 'A' is the provincial capital, 'B' is the second-largest city. Each province is different, based on factors such as comprehensive administrative area, total population, and economic strength. The subsequent letters are not in any particular order. 3. If the second character is 'O', it indicates the vehicle belongs to the provincial public security department. For example, 'Shaan-O1313 Police' should be a vehicle of the Shaanxi Provincial Public Security Department; 'Min O' is the vehicle of the Fujian Provincial Public Security Department.
When driving in Fujian Province, I often see vehicles with the license plate 'Min 0'. These are actually official vehicles exclusively used by provincial-level units such as the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, or Court. Once on the highway, I saw one with flashing police lights, reminding us ordinary drivers to yield the right of way. Unlike regular civilian plates like Min A for Fuzhou or Min B for Quanzhou, Min 0 plates have higher privileges and may have priority in emergency responses. I think it's useful to know this, especially when driving at night to avoid getting too close—safety first and it can also reduce trouble. Paying attention to road signs can also help accumulate some traffic knowledge, making everyone's travel safer and more convenient.
