As one small example: the night before last, Hong Kong police fired tear gas on a busy road where cars were going full speed, including on an elevated highway. That's an extremely dangerous situation for a driver, who can be incapacitated. People need to know where the police are

Tear gas in Hong Kong used to be unheard of. Now I've seen HK cops fire tear gas because they were taunted and someone got them good with a zinger. The use of this substance has become absolutely routine, and it can be deployed without warning in densely populated neighborhoods.

A point that needs reiterating is that the
@hkmaplive app doesn't contravene any Hong Kong law that I am aware of. This app helps answer questions like "will I get shot with a bean bag round if I come out of this MTR station, because the police raised a colored flag I can't see"Show this thread

The app probably could be used by protesters. However, it's on the Chinese government to treat those protesters humanely.

I second the invitaiton to come to Hong Kong, but strongly suggest you spend the night in a hotel. They're really cheap now!
