Infected police remains in ICU even with improved condition, Health Authority openly speaks about other patients but the police
A 46-year-old police from PTU has contracted COVID-19 earlier. He was once in critical condition and was transferred to the ICU. With an improved condition, he was reportedly still staying in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
The media repeatedly asked about the condition of the officer during the press conference held by the Department of Health and the Hospital Authority on April 10. Ho Yuen Ha, chief administration manager of the Health Authority, refused to release any information due to privacy reasons; even though she has openly spoken about other patients' health condition multiple times in the past. The Hospital Authority then replied that it has always respected their patients' privacy, and never intended to make any patient's public.

Government Prevents District Councils from Discussing Police Reorganization
Pro-democracy district councillors at Yau Tsim Mong District raised a motion titled "Disband Hong Kong Police, Stop Abuse of Power" in March. The motion was, however, vetoed by Government's District Officer Edward Yu. District Officers and Secretary would therefore not attend the council meetings. Yau Tsim Mong District Councillor Kenny Lam, along with several pro-democracy district councillors, petitioned against the District Officer's decision.

The motion was, however, vetoed by Government's District Officer Edward Yu. District Officers and Secretary would therefore not attend the council meetings. Yau Tsim Mong District Councillor Kenny Lam, along with several pro-democracy district councillors, petitioned against the District Officer's decision.
The said motion aims to condemn the police use of violence, their refusal to show warrant cards, the use of weapons against civilians and reporters, the use of firearms to suppress protests as well as the arbitrary arrests of citizens.
The Yau Tsim Mong district has witnessed some of the most violent incidents, including 8.31 Prince Edward Incident, Yau Ma Tei Stampede, Siege of PolyU and the blinding of a woman by bean bag shots in Tsim Sha Tsui. The district council is therefore calling for the police to review its paramilitary tactics used against civilians, the reform of IPCC and a review of Public Order Ordinance.
Pro-democracy councilor Kenny Lam refutes the decision made by the District Officer, citing that district councils are supposed to provide opinions regarding the "well-being of the people in the District" and the "provision and use of public facilities and services within the District". The motion they raised directly address these issues.
Lam also argues that Yau Tsim Mong District passed the motion to "support constitutional reform" in February 2015, but the motion would not have been possible under Yu's standard. This leads the public, according to Lam, to question whether the government is deliberately vetoing motions which they do not like. Lam further cites the consequence of this veto, saying it would turn District Council into the government's puppet.

Hong Kong Police knowingly transgress the law?
Assistant Police Commissioner Rupert Dover was accused of breaking the property rule, by residing in a house on government land in Sai Kung that restricted residency to only the immediate family member of the house owner. Dover and his wife were also suspected of operating a guesthouse without a licence. A fish rots from the head: he is apparently not the only police tempering the law.
Chief Superintendent David Jordan was accused of having an unauthorised structure at his home in Tin Liu in Sai Kung. He was also accused of using police traffic cones for his own purposes.
A barrister pointed out that any possession of public property was theft and the use of traffic cones to occupy parking spaces in official land was a violation of the Road Traffic Ordinance.
Moreover, Superintendent Vasco Williams, famous for his "yellow object" remark, was said to have an unauthorised structure of 500 sq ft at his house.

HK$25.8 billion Funding for Police Force Passed in Legislative Council with Pro-Beijing Camp's Endorsement
The government's budget plan was passed in the Legislative Council on May 14. The bill had been criticized by the pro-democracy lawmakers as the relief funds for residents and businesses were bundled with the police funding, which has increased by 24.7 per cent compared to last year.
The bill was opposed by 23 pro-democracy lawmakers but was in the end passed with 42 votes from the pro-Beijing camp. Pro-democracy lawmaker Chan Pui-yin of the medical profession abstained from voting.
All 52 amendments proposed by the pro-democracy fraction were voted down. One of the main concerns was the police funding of HK$25.8 billion for expansion, weapons and supplies, making Hong Kong a city with the world's highest citizen-officer ratios.
In 2019-20, the police overtime pay and other allowances cost HK2.5 billion, exceeding 10 times the original estimate.

Hong Kong Journalist Association requests access to Registers Lists by all media
The Hong Kong Journalist Association has opposed the rule that only government-approved media is allowed to access the Provisional Registers and Omissions List. In an appeal letter to the Chief Executive, the Association expressed concerns that the discriminating system will limit the media's ability to monitor the election, and demanded the government to reconsider the policy.
The Provisional Registers and Omissions List reveals Hong Kong voters’ names and residential addresses in the public.
The public used to have access to the list, until the Junior Police Officers Association applied for a judicial review to restrict its accessibility in order to prevent doxxing of police officers. The court now ruled that only government-approved media is allowed access.

記協去信林鄭月娥 反對只讓已向政府登記的傳媒查閱選民登記冊
記者協會去信行政長官林鄭月娥，反對政制及內地事務局只是讓獲政府認證的傳媒，查閱選民登記冊的安排，認為會限制傳媒監察選舉的功能，擔心政府以此收窄記者的定義，變相推行官方發證和識別制度，要求特首責成官員重新制訂政策。
