S for S speaks on arrest of reporter on suspicion of making false declaration

     Following is the transcript of remarks by the Secretary for Security, Mr John Lee, at a media session after attending the Legislative Council meeting today (November 4):
 
Reporter: Mr Lee, is it a case of selective prosecution? Because Bao Choy is not the only one doing the car plate registration search. Why are you saying that this is not a case targeting the media industry?
 
Secretary for Security: It is a case which is investigated as a result of a complaint. If Police receive a complaint, they have to act accordingly and do investigation according to what the complaint is all about. It is a reactive investigation as a result of a complaint. It is the case's circumstances which decide which is the subject of investigation. This is no different from any investigation that the Police have been doing as a result of a complaint.
