    " But the suspects violated the ban and secretly entered the air show venue to commit the illegal act. "

    They entered an open venue but did it “secretly”? WTF? Basically they broke some “no pictures” rule of an air show but instead of being asked to leave the venue they are charged with spying. Pretty insane.

        This was during an air shop open to the public. Do you think they invited people to just walk around an army base? Or maybe there was some specific area the public could enter?

          If it’s like the ones I’ve been to, it is not open to the public. You have to buy tickets and show ID. And you are restricted to certain areas.

            That’s what I meant. It’s not like they sneaked into closed airbase. They bought tickets or just entered with everyone else. The problem was there is specific law forbidding Taiwanese citizens from attending. They are not charged with anything.
