A man taped an anti-police poster at police back jailed for three weeks for assaulting a police officer;
Hong Kong court said light punishment could make police difficult to enforce the law in the future.
(15 Jul) On the Christmas Eve of last year, netizens initiated a “Shopping with you” rally at Harbour City in Hong Kong. A 25-years old real estate agent put a poster at the back of a plainclothes police and he was charged with assaulting police officers. The defendant was convicted today (15 July) at Kowloon City Magistrates’ Courts and sentenced to three weeks’ imprisonment. The magistrate stated the defendant touched others with a hostile attitude which caused battery assault. The magistrate also criticized the behaviour of the defendant silliness like tricks and challenged why he didn’t put a poster on himself first. The magistrate continued to criticize his behaviour was extremely humiliating to police and emphasize that a slap on the wrist kind of punishment makes it difficult for police to enforce the law and orders in the future. The 25-year old defendant pleaded not guilty to attack police officer A outside the shop (no. 24177, 2/F) in Harbour city on 24 December last year.
//Magistrate Chan didn’t believe the defendant statement that he didn’t know that man was the police and convicted the defendant of assaulting of a police officer.
//Magistrate Chan thought the police might “remember wrongly” and stated that was a minor mistake which couldn’t cause any impact to the case. Therefore, she accepted the police evidence.
//Magistrate Chan said even the police dressed in black and wore black mask and people around were not police; however, age, sturdy body and uncompromising attitude of the police and his teammates were incompatible with people on the spot.
//Magistrate Chan stated the defendant had a slap on the back of the police for no reason and without any provocation and police felt pain because of his action. It was lucky that the police didn’t get hurt.
//The number of days he is in custody was more than terms of imprisonment.
