Another Quick Taiwan Moment:

There are at least four 24-hour Taiwanese news stations. Plus the other stations that also have news. So the media are pretty aggressive. The follow people into hospitals and police stations with their cameras.

This is allowed, apparently. So, suspects in the police station always have their heads down, shirts pulled over their heads, cameras rolling. But they can't stay like that forever. They have to move eventually.

What used to happen was that they would wear motorcycle helmets to obscure their faces. But the police have thoughtfully designed a black plastic bag with eyeholes that suspected criminals can wear instead. Very sexy.
