之前講過,Assault唔應該翻譯成「襲擊」,因為令人誤解控罪元素。

Assault只要求受害者驚有即時、非法既身體接觸,掂一下都計。

呢點唔係香港獨有。以下全部係外國案例,受害者冇實際傷害,但行為足夠構成Assault:

👉🏻捲起衫袖;
👉🏻大叫「攞把刀出黎」;
👉🏻連續幾個月打電話唔出聲。

搬到去「襲警」既context,胸、大聲公、珍珠奶茶、口哨成為兇器的確好違反常理。

但法律實際上規管未經同意既身體侵犯,唔係單純打打殺殺。

所以用「大聲公都可以襲警?你身體豆腐做架?」去質疑香港法治,某程度上係錯重點。你搬去邊一個普通法國家,Assault都係咁樣運作。

但「非法」亦係重點。意外、日常生活、希望得到注意(例如提人拉好拉鏈)等係合法的。

問題核心正正出於「何謂非法」。區諾軒案中,裁判官話佢用「毅進仔」同「黑警」呢啲字。

而且受害者係散仔,隔離就係上司,散仔冇權控制現場行動。

因此得出行為有針對性,而唔係單純引起注意。

呢個邏輯成唔成立?交俾大家決定。但到底係法律本身定應用問題呢?

當然,我明白大家會覺得,橡膠子彈射眼都冇後果,大聲公點解就變成音波襲擊。

咁問題係選擇性檢控,唔係Assault本身既定義。

我都清楚結論一樣,法治係死咗,變埋喪屍。但了解死因都好重要,知道正常法律點運作亦冇壞。

最後睇一單英國新聞:一名男子聲稱自己有武漢肺炎,對警員咳,被判襲警罪成,坐六個月。

如果同一單新聞黎到香港,會唔會變咗「飛沫襲警」?值得深思。
