My Take | Live by the sword, die by the sword over anti-stalking laws

It's been almost 15 years since the Law Reform Commission made the recommendation for an anti-stalking law - and the city still doesn't have one.

The tough stance taken by many pan-democrats and their media allies such as the Hong Kong Journalists Association has made sure of that.

Now, Democrat lawmaker James To Kun-sun complains he was being stalked and the police are not doing anything.

To claims he was followed by mainland intelligence agents for days in the summer. Acting on the complaint, police reportedly arrested two men for suspected loitering. But insufficient evidence meant they had to be let go.

To demanded background information about the two men including whether they were retired police officers and if they were trained in martial arts. Why martial arts and how would the police determine if the suspects were so skilled? To did not say.

He said the police never replied.
