Protester acquitted over laser pointer possesion; Court questions Police's #professionalism in handling evidence

In November 2019, university student Chow Tsz-lok fell from height at Sheung Tak car park and passed away 4 days later. Memorial activities were initiated in multiple districts, which eventually turned into violent police-civilian clashes.

A female protester was arrested near Wong Tai Sin Temple for possessing a laser pointer and a wrench. She was charged with the possession of offensive weapon. In the end, she was found not guilty and acquitted.

Magistrate Cheung Tin-ngai accused the police of being unprofessional in the handling of evidence and violating the Police General Order. She criticized the officers for storing the evidence in a personal storage for 5 months, and not taking their statement until right before the trial. It is therefore unknown whether the evidence was tempered with and whether it even belonged to the defendant.
