Hong Kong police released video touting ability to spray protesters with dye that stains their clothes and skin in order to track themHong Kong police are touting their ability to spray protesters with dye in order to track participants.
Hong Kong Police Force Superintendent Louis Lau Siu-Pong said in a video posted to Facebook on Sunday that police are looking to introduce a portable spraying device which would mist a dye, referred to in the video as "liquid color," onto protesters during demonstrations. Police say the color is "edible and harmless to humans."
According to police, the liquid color could also be added to other substances, like tear gas, in order to maximize impact. Once sprayed, the dye will stain skin and clothing, making it easier to identify protesters who frequently conceal their identities using masks, goggles, and other methods.
