    HCMA494/2017

    The conviction was upheld because the proven facts—sustained, coordinated following by two vehicles for an extended period, CCTV evidence of on-foot surveillance at times, contemporaneous actions and exchanges between the two cars—established beyond reasonable doubt that the defendants were loitering in a public place; the complainant subjectively feared for personal and campaign team safety and that fear was objectively reasonable; and the appellant participated in a joint enterprise to follow and monitor the complainant, satisfying the elements of s.160(3) of the Crimes Ordinance (Cap.200).
