輕手之最的法官

包致金姪女Amina摑警案,論者多指出控方選擇用較輕的罪名起訴,以及由慣性「輕手」判案的法官阮偉明主審,導致判刑過輕。

講到判刑的「輕手」,澳洲的法官都算是數一數二的了。

很多罪犯定罪之後,坐監刑期已經短,法官還即時宣布不用坐足,通常是打個六折至七折就可以申請假釋。有些是判入獄但緩刑,即是坐都不用坐。對初犯者如此還算是法外施仁,但是一而在再而三的積犯,有時都獲得這樣的優待,那些法官是否在「浪費警力」?

這個星期有件案件,一名高級警務人員,涉嫌兼營副業,是甚麼副業?「非法進口和售賣違禁品」-----是槍械零件!結果東窗事發被控,被告在庭上承認控罪。

那個菩薩心腸的法官,怎樣判?看到我 O 晒嘴。

交為期兩年的保金(Good Behaviour Bond,不是罰款) 4000澳元,不用入獄。還有,講明不留案底

「輕判」(a light sentence) 的形象化英文是 a slap on the wrist,好像我們警告小童不要手多多亂搞東西時,撻他們的手腕一下,他們怕你才怪呢。

檢控部門認為法官判刑過輕,正擬提出上訴,複審結果如何,到時才知道。

按照慣例,警務人員犯法,就算法庭判無罪,也許只是技術上打甩,之後警方內部一樣可以紀律調查作出處分,例如降職、停薪、革職。今次被告直認不諱,我希望警隊不會放軟手腳包庇之。

  9. 我認識一位在悉尼西區治安不靖的越南移民鎮卡巴馬打市CABRAMATTA,的 警局做翻譯的女士,她私下說-----毒販都在那裏活動呢? 警察都一清二楚. 只是,很多時候, 拉了幾個流動販子( 小蒼蚆), 上法庭,仁慈的法官總是叫那些青年人-----回家去找你阿媽吧....警察辛苦一頓,郤被法官輕輕放過, 也做得不帶勁了....
    大毒梟摸清楚澳洲法官的心態,和對年青犯人判刑的條例,就推晒一群群年青小子出來跑動.本"拉"無大害.

    力:
    會不會是 Victoria Police毒品調查科(Drug Squad)之醜聞(90年代致今), 就是至少有兩名探員参與爆格, 但是去爆格毒品調查科的證物及制毒工具(1991,92年),以及号外一間毒品工場(2003年).

    就是此=位貪瀆探員
    Kevin Hicks

    The force was changing. Until then, internal police had only prosecuted police. This tactic paid off as most of Hicks's criminal friends gave sworn evidence against him.
    In short, Senior Detective Kevin Hicks was moved from the major crime squad to the drug squad in January 1992.
    He was appointed assistant property steward and was in charge of storing seized drugs.
    He was found to have helped a group of criminals rob the police drug storage area at Attwood, near Tullamarine.
    He also warned major drug dealers when they were under police investigation.

  14. Pobong,
    你提呢單就通晒天,我講果單就無乜人知,故事係咁:

    有一年有個人就番香港,咁佢就住係neighbour watch zone(姑且譯做鄰里收望相助區,http://neighbourhoodwatch.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=110&Itemid=25)入邊,咁佢走個朝早就去就近警署同當值既警察講佢幾時走、幾時番,然後就安心去坐飛機。
    點知去到機場先發現唔記得帶野,見時間仲趕得切,就飛番屋企拎,一入門,就見到之前係警署個警察同另一個一睇就知係古惑仔既人係度周圍搵野!佢見到咁都唔知講乜好,然後個警察就話:你唔爆我,我保你以後合家平安!最後就施施然離開。
    後來聽講好似真係合家平安,但係而家就唔知仲有冇係果間屋住啦!

    最後補充,當事人係我朋友既好朋友。
