男警涉 FB 指水警林婉儀殉職「抵死」 警長、警員否認威逼提交手機密碼解鎖
Marine Police Senior Inspector Lam Wan-yee died on duty in September 2021. A male police officer, who was 26 at the time, was accused of posting inflammatory remarks including “deserved to die” on Facebook. On Tuesday (18th), the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts continued a “trial within a trial” concerning the admissibility of electronic content in the case.
A detective sergeant testified that he had handled the disciplinary matter concerning the defendant’s Facebook remarks, and said that when he saw the remarks, he did not consider whether they involved any other criminal offences. Under cross-examination by the defence, he denied threatening the defendant or telling him, “If you don’t hand over [your phone password], I’ll charge you with one more offence of disobeying an order.” The case will continue on Wednesday (19th).

一名偵緝警長供稱，當時處理被告 Facebook 言論涉違反紀律事宜，又指看到涉案言論時，沒考慮涉及其他刑事罪行。他在辯方盤問下，否認曾威逼被告、向他說「如果你唔交（手機密碼），會告多你一條違反命令」。案件周三（19 日）續審。

5.24 銅鑼灣｜男子否認「私了」律師 辯方指警曾威脅利誘、虛構口頭招認 警全否認
During the 24 May 2020 Causeway Bay protest against the national anthem law, solicitor Tze Chin Chan was allegedly subjected to “street justice” while trying to stop protesters from damaging shops. Four men were subsequently accused of assaulting Chan. Three pleaded guilty, while the remaining man denied the charges and entered the fourth day of trial on Friday (7th). The defendant admitted in a video-recorded interview that he had assaulted Tze Chin Chan. The defence disputed that the statement was voluntary, and the court held a “trial within a trial” to determine whether the video was admissible.
When the defence cross-examined the police officer responsible for the defendant’s arrest and cautioning, it alleged that police had threatened him, saying, “Cooperate more, or we’ll arrest your girlfriend too.” It also alleged that the defendant had been strip-searched and insulted by officers. The police were said to have told the defendant, “Either I tell you the script, you admit it to me, and I’ll try talking to Sir to find a lighter charge to prosecute you with,” and to have fabricated an oral admission in the notebook.
2020 年 5 月 24 日銅鑼灣「反惡歌法大遊行」，事務律師陳子遷疑制止示威者破壞店舖時遭「私了」。事後 4 男被指襲擊陳，當中 3 人認罪，餘下一男否認控罪，周五（7 日）踏入第 4 日審訊。被告在錄影會面承認曾襲擊陳子遷。辯方爭議被告並非自願作供，法庭召開「案中案」審理影片呈堂性。
辯方盤問負責拘捕及警誡的警員時指出，警曾威脅被告「合作啲，否則拉埋你女朋友。」又指被告遭赤裸搜身，期間遭警員侮辱，而警曾告訴被告「一係咁我講個劇本畀你聽，你同我認咗佢，我試吓同阿 Sir 講，搵條再輕啲嘅控罪告你」，並在記事冊虛構口頭招認。

警員 10.1 屯門驅示威者遭腐蝕液體擊中 入稟索償指警務處長錯判形勢
On October 1, 2019, police rejected the Civil Human Rights Front’s application to hold a march, and members of the public instead staged protests across multiple districts. During the dispersal of protesters at Tuen Mun Town Hall, some protesters threw corrosive liquid at police. An officer on duty at the time filed a claim in the District Court on Monday (the 26th), about three years later, alleging that the Commissioner of Police had misjudged the situation, leaving him and his colleagues outnumbered. He was splashed with corrosive liquid on his left forearm and chest and is seeking compensation. The claim did not specify an amount.
2019 年 10 月 1 日，警方拒絕民陣遊行申請，市民改在多區「遍地開花」。其中屯門大會堂有示威者被驅散時，向警方投擲腐蝕液體。一名當時執勤的警員，事隔約 3 年後，周一（26 日）入稟區域法院，指警務處處長當日錯判形勢，令他和同袍寡不敵眾，自己被腐液濺中左前臂及胸口，要求賠償，入稟狀未提及具體金額。

反修例投訴屬實個案 僅2警員被「口頭警告」監警會：好嚴重㗎喇
The Independent Police Complaints Council announced the latest figures on complaints against police arising from the anti-extradition bill events. Of nearly 2,000 complaints, only 32 cases were substantiated. The newly added cases included one in which a station sergeant drove an arrested person’s private car back to a police station to search it while the person was absent. The officer was found to have abused his authority, a serious allegation, but received only an oral warning, which would not be recorded in the divisional files. In all, 32 police officers and three teams were given oral admonishments, while two officers received oral warnings. Asked whether the punishments were too lenient, IPCC Secretary General Mui Tat-ming said that ‘a warning is very serious’.
監警會公布反修例事件洐生的投訴警察個案最新數字。近2,000宗投訴中，只有32宗個案獲證明屬實。新增個案包括一名警署警長在被捕人士不在場下，將其私家車駕回警署搜車，被裁定「濫用職權」，屬嚴重指控，但僅獲口頭警告，不會紀錄在分區檔案。所有投訴中，共有32名警員及3個小隊被「口頭訓諭」，兩名警員被「口頭警告」。被問是否懲處過輕，監警會秘書長梅達明認為「警告好嚴重㗎喇」。

背射記者有片 警：投訴無法證實 稱記者轉身逃走 射海綿彈「非不合理」 監警會通過結果
During the anti-extradition bill movement in November 2019, a then-Commercial Radio reporter was driven away by riot police while reporting. As he turned to leave, he was hit from behind by a sponge round fired by a police officer, with footage capturing what happened. The reporter subsequently lodged a complaint against the officer with the Complaints Against Police Office. The officer was later “admonished” by police. Nearly three years later, police explained the investigation outcome to the reporter, saying the allegation was “not substantiated”. They instead said the reporter moved forward and touched a riot police officer’s hand before turning and fleeing, after which police pursued him and fired the sponge round. The reporter expressed regret over the investigation outcome, saying it did not accord with the facts. He said the police officer had brushed him away, and their hands touched only as a result, and that he was considering seeking a review.
2019年11月反修例運動期間，時任商業電台記者採訪時被防暴警察驅趕，轉身離開時被警員從後射海綿彈擊中，有片段拍攝到當時情况，記者事後向投訴警察課投訴涉事警員。警員後遭警方「訓斥」，事隔近3年，警方向當事人交代調查結果，稱指控「無法證實」，反指記者衝前觸碰防暴警察手部然後轉身逃走，警察才追捕及發射海綿彈。當事人對調查結果感遺憾，認為與事實不符，稱當時是警察撥開他，二人手部才有觸碰，考慮提覆核。

警察公共關係科早前升格為公共關係部 引入「24小時輿情追蹤機制」
The Police Public Relations Branch was earlier upgraded to a Public Relations Department, with one of its key tasks being to “identify rumours as early as possible and proactively clarify them as quickly as possible”. This year, the police introduced a “24-hour public opinion monitoring mechanism” and, through cooperation with technology companies, use big data to monitor false information both online and offline. Senior Superintendent (Public Relations Department) Tsang Suk-yin said the events of 2019 showed that false information and fake news could cause far-reaching damage. Some people still believe that “people died at Prince Edward station” and that “a rape incident occurred at San Uk Ling”. The police need to understand and clarify online incidents that are “heating up” or being smeared; otherwise, members of the public may misunderstand the government or the police force, or even develop hatred.
警察公共關係科早前升格為公共關係部，工作重點之一是「盡早發現及盡快主動澄清謠言」。警方今年引入「24小時輿情追蹤機制」，透過與科技公司合作，利用大數據監察線上線下假消息。總警司（公共關係部）曾淑賢稱，2019年的事件反映假消息和假新聞可造成深遠破壞，至今仍有人相信「太子站死咗人」、「新屋嶺有強姦事件發生」，警方需了解和澄清網上「升溫」或抹黑事件，否則市民會誤解政府或警隊甚至產生仇恨。
