Illegal in-car entertainment displays in HK?

grimlock · 07-07-2011, 10:14 AM

Just saw on the news, installing display screens for entertainment is illegal in HK?
But rearview+gps are allowed.
No wonder the cop didn't say anything when they saw me installing a boat load of cameras and screen (but they commented on my lack of reflectors, also illegal
see here: http://www.hklii.org/hk/legis/en/reg/374A/sch8.html )
Anyone get caught for anything?

Which reflectors have you taken off?

I plan to have my rear reflectors painted black, will I get nailed?

Back, its illegal, but seems low on the priority of enforcement..
means they probably won't stop you for it, but if you get nailed for something else, might, or if you do something crazy but unenforcible they would nail you on that,.. thats why i ask if anyone got stopped for just in-car front dvd/display .. seems they actively nail that one
