The defendant Leung Chun Pang (24 years old) engaged in insurance. He was involved in possession of a laser pointer at the Prince Edward MTR station on September 8, 2019, and was charged with possession of offensive weapons in a public place.
The defendant has a clown mask in his backpack
Magistrate Chen Huimin stated in the ruling that the defense did not dispute the defendant's possession of the laser pen, but disputed the intention of possession.
According to the prosecution plan, the police officer patrolled the Prince Edward Station at about 8 o'clock that night. Seeing the defendant raised his hands up to look like changing his shirt, he approached and asked. The defendant claimed that a friend said that it was safer to change clothes. The police officer found one in his backpack. A laser pen, a clown mask, a gas mask and other items, the defendant explained that he would return these items to others.
The police officer believed that the defendant was suspicious, and pointed out that he had a green T-shirt pinched into his trouser pocket at the time.
Possession of the laser pen is a 3B class number
Chen Guan pointed out that the case of the laser pen involved in the case was marked as 3B. It could cause mild skin burns and eye damage within a 40-meter range. The defendant must know that it was a dangerous item. A violent incident occurred on Hong Kong Island at the time of the case. Disturbing order in MTR stations and targeting high-level police officers.
She continued that the contents of the defendant’s rucksack could not be arranged without prior arrangement. The court could not ignore that the defendant wanted to change from a black shirt to a green shirt at the time. The gas mask he was carrying was a typical demonstration equipment. These reasons resulted in a cumulative effect. It is explanatory, and the only reasonable conclusion is that the defendant possessed a laser pen with the intention of injuring others, so he was found guilty.
There were no demonstrations in the same district at the time of the case
The defense pleaded that the defendant had a diploma in accounting and suffered from anxiety.
There were no demonstrations in the area at the time of the case, and the defendant only had an unused laser pointer. I hope the court will receive a lighter sentence.
Chen Guan believes that possession of offensive weapons is a serious crime, and the court must ensure social security. Possession of the item alone is already a criminal liability and sentenced the defendant to five months' imprisonment.
