In Japan, if someone is photographed or filmed handcuffed, their hands have to be pixelated if it is used on television or in the newspapers. This is because someone who had been arrested brought a successful case to court arguing that being pictured in handcuffs implied guilt, and had prejudiced the trial. Iin Hong Kong, people being arrested and led away in handcuffs are usually given the chance by the policemen to have their heads covered by a black cloth bag. There are holes on the bag for the suspect to see through.
