Police fail to see the light
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A picture is worth a thousand words - but not always in Hong Kong. Police routinely botch important evidence by leaving on lens caps when taking photographs, an expert witness for the prosecution told a court in a heroin trafficking case, the South China Morning Post newspaper said.
The mistake is so common that police forms include a box labelled "forgot to take lens cap off" for officers to tick, the expert witness said. Reuters - Hong Kong
