7.14沙田｜受傷警向兩示威者索償、稱患創傷後壓力症等 官裁可獲賠49.5萬元
On 14 July 2019, clashes occurred at New Town Plaza in Sha Tin, and two protesters accused of assaulting a police officer were sentenced to prison after earlier pleading guilty to rioting. The injured officer, Kwok Siu-hang, subsequently brought a civil claim for damages against the two. Judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh ruled in the District Court on Thursday (4th) that Kwok Siu-hang should receive HK$495,000 in damages, with the two also required to pay interest and legal costs.
The judgment said Kwok later developed moderate post-traumatic stress disorder, while his children were also bullied. Kwok also experienced prolonged insomnia and suicidal tendencies. Doctors advised him to avoid working in police uniform and said he was unsuitable to carry a firearm; he will also need ongoing psychiatric treatment. The judgment further said the protesters deliberately assaulted and publicly humiliated Kwok, causing him injury and serious humiliation, and that he was entitled to aggravated damages.
2019 年 7 月 14 日，沙田新城市廣場發生衝突，兩名示威者被指毆打警員，早前承認暴動罪被判監。事件中受傷警員郭兆恒循民事向兩人索償，法官羅麗萍周四（4 日）在區域法院，判郭兆恒可獲 49.5 萬元賠償，兩人另須付利息及訟費。
判詞提到，郭事後患中度創傷後壓力症，子女亦受欺凌，郭亦曾出現長期失眠及自殺傾向，醫生建議他避免穿著警服工作，亦不適宜配槍，日後仍需接受精神科治療。判詞另指，示威者故意公然襲擊及羞辱郭，令他受傷及遭受嚴重侮辱，警可獲「加重損害賠償」。

死因庭裁陳輝旺非法被殺 警員林偉榮再申覆核挑戰 官押明年訊、拒禁檢控
Taxi driver Chan Fai-wong argued with a passenger and was placed in a “chokehold” by a police officer while being arrested. Chan Fai-wong subsequently died while receiving hospital treatment. A coroner’s jury ruled for the second time this year that Chan Fai-wong was unlawfully killed. Police officer Lam Wai-wing again applied for judicial review to overturn the verdict and sought a temporary ban on the Department of Justice taking prosecution action. The High Court dealt with his application for an interim injunction on Wednesday (19th).
的士司機陳輝旺與乘客爭執，被警員拘捕時遭「箍頸」，其後在留醫期間死亡。死因庭陪審團今年第二次裁定陳「非法被殺」。警員林偉榮再次申司法覆核要求推翻裁決，並要求暫時禁止律政司採取檢控行動，高院周三（19 日）處理臨時禁制令申請。
林警指正申請法律支援，盼押後臨時禁制令及司法覆核申請，「希望法官大人畀個機會，同埋畀少少時間我，令到我喺有律師代表嘅情況下作供」。法官即日駁回其申請，強調除非情況非常特殊，否則法庭不會介入律政司檢控。
官又指，林似乎純粹是因為不滿裁決而提出覆核，其入稟狀亦不符合法定要求，但其挑戰的事宜具有重大重要性，故將許可聆訊押後至明年一月底。

首長責任制第二級調查 楊何蓓茵稱不涵警隊 涉退休官未答如何罰
The latest Policy Address proposed introducing a “heads of departments accountability system” to address the “administrative accountability” of civil servants at various levels, with a two-tier investigation mechanism. Speaking at a policy press conference, Secretary for the Civil Service Ingrid Yeung Ho said the existing Public Service Commission Ordinance does not cover the police force. As a result, the “second level” for investigating serious issues would not cover the police force, while the first level would still apply.
Asked whether penalties such as salary reductions would still be imposed if an investigation involved retired officials, Yeung did not directly respond. She said that if problems accumulated in the government over time, an investigation might involve civil servants who had only recently retired. She stressed that the purpose of establishing a civil service assessment mechanism was to ensure departments properly carried out their duties and resolved problems as soon as possible, rather than allowing problems to accumulate for many years before becoming apparent.
新一份《施政報告》提出增設「部門首長責任制」，以處理各級公務員的「行政問責」，機制設有兩級調查機制。公務員事務局局長楊何蓓茵出席政策記者會時表示，現行《公務員敍用委員會條例》不涵蓋警隊，所以調查嚴重問題的「第二級別」將不涵蓋警隊，至於第一級別則仍然適用。
被問到如調查過程中涉及退休官員，是否仍會作扣薪等懲處，楊何蓓茵未有正面回應，僅稱若政府出現日積月累的問題，調查或牽涉剛退休的公務員，強調訂立公務員評核機制，是希望各部門做好份內工作，有問題要盡快解決，「唔會將問題積咗好多年之後顯然出嚟先發生」。

督察涉衝燈撞的士致途人被波及 危駕致他人受嚴重傷害罪成 判240小時社服令
A 30-year-old male police inspector stationed in the East Kowloon Region allegedly ran a red light while driving his private car in Mong Kok during the early hours of 2023, when he was off duty, and collided with a taxi. The taxi lost control and knocked down a female pedestrian, who subsequently required an amputation. The inspector was charged with dangerous driving causing serious injury to another person and was earlier found guilty.
Acting Judge Kwok Fai (1965) Wong said at the District Court on Monday (September 1) that the contents of the defendant’s report were positive and that he had shown remorse. Taking into account that he had already been remanded for five weeks, the judge sentenced him to 240 hours of community service, disqualified him from driving for two years, and ordered him to complete a driving improvement course at his own expense. The defendant wiped away tears in the dock after the sentence was delivered, while his relatives and friends embraced and cried.

暫委法官黃國輝周一（9 月 1 日）於區域法院指，被告的報告內容正面、有悔意，考慮到他已還押 5 周，終判被告 240 小時社會服務令、停牌兩年，及須自費完成駕駛改進課程。被告聞判後於犯人欄內拭淚，其親友相擁而泣。

的士司機疑遭警員箍頸後亡 陪審團再裁非法被殺 鄧炳強：研究判詞再作行動
Taxi driver Chan Fai-wong was arrested in 2012 over a dispute with a passenger. During the incident, he was allegedly put in a chokehold by police officer Lam Wai-wing and taken to a police vehicle. He subsequently suffered displacement of the cervical vertebrae, developed bronchitis while receiving hospital treatment and eventually died. At an inquest, the jury today again returned a verdict of unlawful killing. Asked whether police would reopen the investigation, Secretary for Security Chris Tang said he had noted the relevant judgment in the case and that the authorities would study the judgment before taking further action.
Chris Tang met reporters after chairing a Fight Crime Committee meeting in the afternoon, with several media organisations focusing on the incident. TVB News asked Chris Tang whether police would reopen the investigation, whether the police officer involved at the time was still serving in the force and whether he would be suspended.

警隊新一代通訊系統取消招標改直接購買 稱涉「最新地緣政治風險」
The police told the Legislative Council two years ago that they planned to develop a next-generation communications system based on 5G. Before applying for funding, the Security Bureau had already stated that, in the interests of national security, the core network and base stations would be built by the Government. The authorities have now said that, because the project is related to the Police Force’s daily law enforcement and directly affects national security, the Force considered it necessary to raise its security and reliability requirements “based on the latest geopolitical risk assessment”. It therefore decided to cancel the tender and instead procure the system directly from a service provider that is “reliable and meets the service requirements”. The system’s non-recurrent expenditure has been reduced from 5.2 billion to about 2 billion.
The Security Bureau submitted a paper to the Legislative Council’s Panel on Security Affairs setting out the latest progress on the next-generation communications system. The authorities plan to apply to the Finance Committee for funding in June this year. If funding is approved, the contract is expected to be awarded within this year, the first phase of services to be rolled out from mid-2027, and the system to be fully operational in December 2030.
警方前年向立法會透露計劃開發新一代通訊系統，建立一套以5G為基礎的新一代通訊系統。保安局未申撥款已事先表明，因應國家安全，核心網絡及基站將由政府興建。當局又有最新說法，指由於項目關係警隊日常執法，直接影響國家安全，「基於最新的地緣政治風險評估」，警隊認為有必要提高安全性和可靠性要求，決定取消招標，改用直接購買方式向「穩妥和符合服務要求」向服務供應商進行採購。系統的非經常性開支由原預算52億元減至約20億元。
保安局向立法會保安事務委員會提交文件，提及新一代通訊系統的最新進度，當局計劃今年6月向財委會申請撥款；若獲得批出撥款，預期可在今年內批出合約，於2027年中開始推出首階段服務，並在2030年12月全面投入服務。

警方無人機巡邏周五試行 西九及邊界先行 最終目標築天網防罪案
The Police will launch a pilot scheme for deploying small drones on Friday (23rd), shifting from using them on demand to taking proactive action. The first phase will run for three months in the Border Police District and Kowloon West Region, with drones equipped with functions including thermal imaging and night vision used for patrols.
Responding to concerns about privacy and safety requirements, Superintendent Ko Chung-ying of the Major Events and Search Division said drones operating in urban areas would patrol at positions more than 60 metres above the highest point in the area and would be fitted with parachutes to prevent them from falling. Property management offices in designated areas would be notified and banners would be put up to inform residents about a week before patrols began.
Ko Chung-ying said the second phase of the drone programme could begin as early as the fourth quarter of this year in places including The Peak and Cheung Chau. The ultimate goal is for every police district to be able to use drones for patrols, turning them into a “Sky Net”.
警隊周五（23日）將推出小型無人機行動調配先導計劃，從以往按需求使用變為主動出擊，首階段在邊界警區及西九龍總區推行，以配備熱像儀及夜視鏡等功能的無人機巡邏，為期3個月。
就私隱及安全要求的關注，警隊大型活動科重點及搜查組警司高仲英表示，市區無人機將於區域最高點的60米以上位置巡邏，並設置降落傘防無人機墜落，巡邏約一星期前會通知指定區域的物管處及貼上橫幅通知居民。
高仲英透露，最快今年第四季將開展第二階段於山頂及長洲等地的無人機計畫，最終目標為每個警區都可使用無人機巡邏，將其變為「天網」。

指警署內遭警打頭致腦出血、市民入稟索償 申禁警方銷毀CCTV片、披露警資料被拒
A man filed a claim against the Commissioner of Police last Wednesday (16), alleging that when he went to the report room at Mong Kok Police Station this month to complain about an officer’s rudeness, the officer instead said he would arrest him for criminal intimidation and struck the back of his head. He was later taken to hospital, where he was found to have suffered a brain haemorrhage. He is seeking 1.2 million in compensation from the police force.
The case came back before the District Court on Friday (25). The man said the case involved a criminal offence and applied for an injunction to prohibit the police from destroying the police station’s closed-circuit television footage. He also sought disclosure of information about the officers and the CCTV footage, and indicated that he intended to bring a private prosecution.
Judge Leung Kwok-on dismissed the plaintiff’s application, saying: “The court cannot force the government to do this or that, or not do this or that; the court does not have such power.” The judge also said that the plaintiff’s request for disclosure before the issues in dispute had been defined was “vague” and that he “cannot cast the net like a fisherman and take all the officers’ personal information”. The judge further said the case should be commenced as a personal injury claim rather than as an ordinary civil action. The case was adjourned to allow the plaintiff to consider whether to continue the proceedings or bring a separate case in another manner.
一名市民上周三（16 日）入稟控告警務處長，指本月赴旺角警署報案室，投訴警員不禮貌時，反遭警員稱要以刑事恐嚇罪拘捕，又拍打其後腦。男子送院後證實腦出血，民事入稟索償，要求警務處賠償 120 萬元。
案件周五（25 日）在區域法院再訊，男子指本案涉刑事罪行，因此申請禁制令，禁止警方銷毀警署閉路電視片段，又要求警方披露警員資料、閉路電視片段，另透露有意提出私人刑事檢控。
法官梁國安駁回原告申請，指「法庭唔可以強制政府做乜、唔做乜，法庭冇咁嘅權力」。官又指，在本案未定下爭議點時，原告便要求披露資料，是「虛無飄渺」，「唔可以咁漁翁撒網，攞晒警員個人資料」。官又提到，案件應以「人身傷亡」而非一般民事訴訟立案。官押後案件，待原告考慮是否繼續提控，或會否其他方式另立案件等。

7.14 沙田｜港大畢業生被指咬斷警長手指、遭入稟索償 雙方達成和解賠28萬元
During clashes at New Town Plaza in Sha Tin on 14 July 2019, HKU graduate To Kai Wa was accused of biting off a sergeant’s ring finger. In 2021, To Kai Wa was convicted of four offences, including disorderly conduct in a public place and assaulting a police officer, and sentenced to five and a half years in prison. An earlier appeal was dismissed.
Sergeant Leung Kai-yip, whose finger was bitten off, filed a civil damages claim against To Kai Wa in 2022. The case was dealt with at the High Court on Thursday (24th), where the master said the parties had reached a settlement. To Kai Wa will pay the sergeant $280,000 in compensation.
To Kai Wa is also being sued by another superintendent whose finger was injured in the incident. According to the Judiciary’s website, that case is scheduled to go to trial at the District Court on 12 May.
