The police special tactical squad (commonly known as the Speed Dragon squad) and riot police officers often do not display the police number in the anti-revision demonstrations.
The Records Association and several citizens filed for judicial review. High Court Judge Zhou Jiaming, after hearing the submissions of five cases together earlier, handed down a judgment today (19th) and ruled that the practice of not displaying the police number is a violation of " The Bill of Rights, and ruled that the current complaint mechanisms of the CAPO and the IPCC were insufficient.

Lin: The call sign of the action is too long to be recognized by the citizens
Lin Cheuk Ting pointed out that the current call signs displayed by police officers are too long, complicated and inconspicuous. Under the chaotic conditions of the demonstration scene, it is extremely difficult to identify the call signs. He also pointed out that the more serious problem is that the police officers "allow the police officers to cover their duties." "Even if citizens can remember the call sign, there is no way in the end to recognize the police officer involved in the identification procedure, so that the police officer accused of being involved in "police violence" can be exonerated on very strong grounds.
He also pointed out that the police officers may excuse the complainant for misrepresenting the call sign of the action, or other members of the team used his call sign fraudulently. Therefore, it is impossible for the public to confirm the identity of the police officer involved by the action call sign alone. The situation is equivalent to "no king control." .
Lin Cheuk-ting urged the police to resume the display of the police officer's number. "If you are doing it right, you don't need to be afraid that the public will know the police officer's number, and you don't need to be afraid of public surveillance."
