【June 4 35】US8964 “Released”: Car owner asks, “Is this really acceptable law enforcement?”
【六四35】US8964「獲釋」 車主：咁樣執法真係無問題？
On June 4 this year, the Porsche sports car “US8964” was again detained by police, as it was last year. The car owner Anthony Chiu told HK01 that he had retrieved the vehicle on Wednesday. He questioned why the vehicle had been detained for two consecutive years on similar grounds, asking whether “this kind of law enforcement is really acceptable”. The owner of “US8964”, Anthony Chiu, suspected that he had been followed from the afternoon of June 4 this year. After driving through the Eastern Harbour Crossing, he was stopped and searched by police on the Island Eastern Corridor, and the vehicle was detained. In response to an enquiry from HK01, Anthony Chiu said he retrieved the vehicle on Wednesday (June 12). Police said the vehicle’s brake component was cracked, its exhaust was excessively loud, and its tyres were worn—reasons similar to those given when it was detained last year. When he collected the vehicle, police did not allow him to drive it away directly. It had to be towed to a garage for repairs and then undergo another inspection before it could be driven on the road again.
今年6月4日，保時捷跑車「US8964」一如去年再被警方扣查。車主招先生向《獨媒》表示，周三已取回車輛。他質疑連續兩年被扣查車輛，理由相近，認為「咁樣執法真係無問題？」 「US8964」車主招先生，今年6月4日下午起，已懷疑被跟蹤，在駛過東區海底隧道後，於東區走廊被警方截查，車輛被扣查。 招先生回覆《獨媒》查詢，指已於周三（6月12日）取回車輛，警方指他的車輛杯士有裂痕、死氣喉聲音過大，以及車呔有磨損，理由與去年被扣查時近似。他取車時警方不容許直接駛走，需召拖車拖往車房維修後，再次驗車先准重新在路面行駛。
