The needed penalty is in fact the revocation of taxi endorsement on the license. This is the only way to deter drivers from violating the taxi law.

Prostitution is not illegal per se in Hong Kong. Controlling prostitution, on the other hand, is illegal.

The problem with the triads is many triads have gone legitimate on their businesses, such as minibus. So the police need incriminating evidence in order to get them.
