Chaxi me: "The dog official" is obviously to contempt the judgment and the rule of law

Cha Xi, former chief investigator and barrister of the ICAC, I think that the "dog officer" is obviously despising. As for urging the ICAC to intervene in the investigation and not breaking the law, he criticized the practice as extremely inappropriate and should respect the verdict and the rule of law. "You think it is important, Some people think it is light." They think that if someone feels dissatisfied, they can appeal under the existing mechanism.

Tang Jiahua: "Dog official" and other words insulted judges or committed contempt of court

Senior Counsel and Executive Council member Tong Jiahua also stated that using the words "dog officer" to insult a judge has the opportunity to commit contempt of the court. Depending on whether the court will pursue it, the police will be required to enforce the law.

He emphasized that if it is a rational discussion, putting forward opinions will not constitute contempt. The key lies in whether it involves insults and smears, which undermines society’s confidence in the judiciary.

Regarding the voice urging the judge to collect the money, Tang believes that it does not constitute contempt, but if he only accuses the judge of collecting the money, he will "step on the line."
