on 2 february, commissioner of police tang king shing warned that anyone with the pictures on their computer "could be" in breach of the law, even if there was no record of distribution. this led to an immediate objection by lawmaker "long hair" leung kwok-hung, who led a protest of about two dozen people outside police headquarters in wan chai. they accused the police of sowing confusion and creating an atmosphere of "white terror" among netizens. leung urged commissioner tang to clarify whether merely keeping the pictures violated the law. some opinions disagree on distributing the photos.
