What does the bill do?
The bill adds a section to the Police Ordinance requiring video documentation of the use of means for dispersing demonstrations (water cannon vehicle, tear gas, stun grenade and others), with the documentation kept for 3 years. A person who claims to have been harmed by the use of these means may demand the video from the police within a week, except in exceptional cases where there is concern of harm to security or to an investigation, which allow the police to obtain a stay order from a court. The documentation must state the type of liquid used in the spraying.
