District Councilor denounces HK Police for providing inconsistent and confusing responses on a case involving police officers

On September 5, 2020, district councillor Lancelot Chan Wing-Tai, of the Eastern District, posted on Facebook two screenshots from a surveillance camera in a resident building.

The photos captured two blue-clad men poising as police officers, demanded to enter a building in Chai Wan.

At the request of the security guard, the two men showed warrants without photo nor ID number. The guard refused to let them into the building and the men left.

When Lancelot Chan raised an inquiry to the police force on this incident, the force replied that they were unable to identify these two men, so the case was listed as a “suspicious person's discovery” and investigation is underway.

In their response to media inquiry on September 6, the police force still described the case as a “suspicious person's discovery” where two men left the scene without providing information as requested by the security guard.

However, just a day later on 7 September, the police force changed their statement in a post on Facebook. The Police Force claimed that these two men belonged to the Criminal Headquarters of Hong Kong Island General District.

In other words, the Force changed their statement by reinstating the police identity of whon they called "police impersonators" just one day ago.

Contrary to the video footage and the Force themselves earlier, the Force now said that the two men "left the building after carrying out an investigation".

The district councillors then asked the police for further clarification as he pointed out the apparent inconsistencies in the police’s responses, the statement provided by the security guard and the video footage.

Coroner Inquest's Magistrate Condemns Schools, Police Officers and Government Officials Multiple Times for Lying and Not Fulfilling Their Duties

Coroner inquests are supposes to be held with evidence provided by the police, and the officer responsible for inspecting the CCTV evidence for the death of Alex Chow Tsz-lok said in court that all CCTV cameras failed to capture the situation outside the parking lot of Sheung Tak Estate. The officer said that they have failed to find how Chow was injured.

However, magistrate Ko Wai-hung re-watched the surveillance camera footage during his lunch break on Dec 3, 2020 and said to have found “critical” details.

In the past few years, magistrate Ko has handled a number of high-profile coroner’s inquests, including the death of 15-year-old Chan Yin-lam, a rape suspect who hung himself from a LAN line at a police station, the death of an elementary school girl who fell from a school building, and the arson in Kwun Lung Lau.

Magistrate Ko Wai-hung condemns school officials, police officers and government officials multiple times for lying and for not doing their jobs.
