Australian Police deny ever teaching Hong Kong Police the "Soaring Bird" motorcycling technique, as the HK Force have claimed
The Hong Kong Police Force often claims to be the victim of fake news campaigns, yet many of their own statements have been revealed to be flat out lies.
The police earlier argued that there were "intranational examples" supporting the traffic police officer's practice of leaving both hands away from the motorcycle handlebars. When prompted, they failed to give any particular examples. They then claimed to have learned this technique of riding the motorcycle from an exchange with the police department of Victoria, Australia in 2013.
Pro-democracy Hong Kong lawmaker Chu Hoi-Dick inquired the Australian police, who responded that they did not practice this riding technique, nor do they have any records of interactions with the Hong Kong Police.

Who is the lawbreaker?
Young protestors stormed into the Legislative Council last July to show their disappointment towards the deteriorating rule of law in Hong Kong. They insisted leaving money in a small collection basket for drinks taken from the cooler even in an extreme state of fury and fear. They also left behind a hand-written note reinstating that they would not steal like a thief.
However, a riot police who is well trained to enforce the law in Hong Kong, snatched a bottled water from a convenient stall during an operation in public and walked away without paying. Did he not just deliberately break the law?
If the incident was not caught on video and later gone rival on internet, would this police officer take the trouble to go back to the shop and pay?
"It's not stealing if I pay ... after I get caught"

Raptor Police Contradicts himself while giving witness
Three protesters were arrested during the police-citizen conflict on 28 July 2019. The police officer who made the arrest, Yim, changed his testimony several times during the hearing and was questioned by the defendant if he was lying. Yim first claimed he found respirators and helmets in the defendant’s backpack, and contradicted himself later by saying these objects were hung on the defendant’s bag. He also stated he was unsure of how the defendant climbed over a fence, and later said he remembered and demonstrated the action himself.
Yim stated that he did not receive any orders to make the arrest. The judge then questioned him why the arrest was not handled by a group of police who arrived at the scene earlier. The judge also questioned what made Yim felt he was responsible for making the arrest, to which Yim responded: "My initiative and instinct made me do so." The defendant counsel also pointed out that Yim was not the first officer to arrive at the scene, and he was not of the highest rank, making it unreasonable for him to make the arrest.

Police Officer: My eyes tell me that you're too loud
Activist Charged for Violating "Noise Control Ordinance"
Avery Ng Man Yuen, the secretary general of the League of Social Democrats, set up a street booth in Wong Po last month to collecting signatures of people to garner support for the establishment of aids for the unemployed. In the process, he was charged with violating the "Noise Control Ordinance".
His case was heard in the Kowloon City Magistrates' Court, of which he denied the charges. Ng said that he had requested for the police officer to measure the amount of noise generated by his booth with a sound pressure level meter. Instead, he got an extremely hostile and antagonistic response from the officer, saying "My eyes tell me that you're too loud!".
He questioned the government, and asked if actions like these were becoming way too common nowadays, as they have exhausted all other means to oppress and persecute members of the oppostion. He even speculated that the future after the enactment of the National Security Law could mean that that setting up of street booths such as the one that he setup to help a certain community in need, would be made illegal.

Police's testimony found inconsistent with video; Man acquitted of two charges
Due to the suspect of unknown gas leakage at Tai Hing Police Operational Base on Oct 30, 2019, a large crowd of civilians protested against the incident. Police dispersed the crowd at that night and arrested a 23-year-old waiter of illegal assembly and possession of offensive weapon.
In the first hearing on this case on 15 Sep, 2020, the police officer arresting the suspect recounted the process of intercepting and arresting in the court. However, the progress described could not be found in the video provided by the defendant lawyer.
In the adjudication on 16 Sep, 2020, Magistrate Wong Ching-Yu rejected the police officer’s statement, and the defendant was acquitted of two charges.
