Reporters Fined Even After Complying with Orders to Leave

2045 | #CheungShaWan

A reporter from BeWater HK was standing outside of Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre with a number of citizen reporters when the police demanded them to leave, citing the anti-gathering regulation. The group departed as instructed. However, they were stopped by officers a block away, where a new cordon line was set. The officer in-charge claimed to be only checking their IDs, after which they would be free to go. The cordon line also stopped a number of civilians, many of whom have just left work or were on their way to dinner, and were starting to get annoyed at the hold up.

Moments later, a few plainclothes officers brought the group back from where they were - nearly a block away - back towards the detention centre. They were placed with a dozen other citizens, and they each received a fine of $2000.

After receiving the tickets, the reporters were brought across the street, where other reporters from mainstream news had gathered, and were released there.

The bus company record shows that the driver was only driving at a speed of 35km/h and the New World First Bus staff union said it is common for bus driver to carry a spanner to calibrate the rear mirror.

Nevertheless, on Sept 10, police eventually decide to charge the 36-year-old bus driver with "careless driving", after seeking opinion from the Department of Justice.
