1. The Magistrate found, as it was justified on the evidence to find, that the Appellant, who held a United States passport and had lost his Hong Kong identity card, was in a street with neither his passport nor his identity card replacement form, both of which he had left at home. Despite everything urged to the contrary, I am of the view that there is no basis on which to disturb this conviction for failing to produce proof of identity on demand.
