Stray Dogs on Camera: Hong Kong's Surveillance State Expands The recent installation of new CCTV cameras in Yuen Long is part of a broader trend in Hong Kong, where technology is increasingly being used to monitor public spaces.
This decision comes after a tragic incident in which a 27 year old woman was fatally mauled by stray dogs on Pok Wai South Road, highlighting the dangers that lurk in Hong Kong's rural areas.
However, critics argue that this increased surveillance may be more of a Band Aid solution than a genuine effort to address the problem.
