    Citation
    HKSAR v. YIP TAK MING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA727/2004

    The court upheld the magistrate's finding that placing a camera beneath a woman's skirt on a crowded MTR escalator during rush hour was disorderly conduct which was inherently and realistically likely to provoke members of the public to resort to force or violence, so that a breach of the peace was likely within s17B(2); absence of actual violence was fortuitous and did not undermine the likelihood assessment.
