re "He would have a hard time explaining why he did not disburse away when ordered by the police to do so"
The intent of illegal assembly laws is to prevent people from congregating in groups where trouble may occur. In my country the size of the group varies from one jurisdiction to another, and could be 2 or more, 3 or more, 5 or more, etc. I presume that HK law is similar.

So... the banker was in a group that was ordered to disperse. Everyone else left, but he stayed.

Thus he ended up alone, so how can he be charged with illegal assembly? I'm not a lawyer, but this seems to me like a strong reason to toss out that charge! ;)

Per Snow,, if overcome.. he would likely be disoriented..

Often difficult for a fonctionnaire type usually to think on their feet in 3D situations not limited to pen/paper and keyboard...

Example running joke in our house .. In case of fire .. follow son.. ooops .. do not forget to wake up daughter...

I would fight it also.. He has naught to lose but replaceable things like money :) Reputations once lost.. typically remain so...
