A 16-year-old student has been given a suspended jail sentence for forging a Hong Kong identity card after complaining his photo on his actual ID was “too ugly”.
Fanling Court on Monday jailed Liu Can for three months, but suspended that sentence for three years, after police found the fake ID on the mainland-born student during a stop-and-search operation on August 19 last year.
The prosecution said Liu and two friends were acting “suspiciously” outside Tai Po Market MTR station that evening when they were intercepted by officers. When Liu removed his real ID from his wallet for officers’ inspection, the fake card fell out to the ground.
