      #LIVE: Masked riot police question a reporter, asking why he is wearing a gas mask. An officer asks: "Who said journalists can wear masks?" Under the new regulation, journalists covering the protests are exempted. http://sc.mp/4469c  #HongKongProtestshttps://twitter.com/SCMPHongKong/status/1180862209800511488 …

          The law should be applied to all people. However, now #HongKong become a place of rule of man and #policestate.

          said by HK Secretary for Security, Lee Ka-chi: ‘李家超表示,政府從來都不希望有任何人傷,訂立規例是因為示威者犯法,「冇暴力犯法,警方係唔需要執法。」他重申,從事專業工作或受僱工作需戴上面罩保護人身安全的人可獲豁免,相信記者符合條件,並指法庭亦有權力考慮個別個案是否構成合理辯解’

          Is this kind of full face mask necessary for reporting job? If so, why other reporters don't wear?

          It's quite necessary I'm afriad. From video footage we can see police used tear gas and rubber bullet against the #HongKongProtesters . It's reporters job to film everything in a close distance. I guess the best way to protect themselve is to wear gear and masks.

          Is the riot police really familiar with the new mask ban law (subject to judicial review soon)?
