| 单词 | Stop and search |
| 释义 | 截停及搜查 To interrupt a person’s progress and examine his or her clothing or property. The power to stop and search is not in the nature of an arrest: Daniel v Morrison (1979) 70 Cr App Rep 142 (DC). Legislation permitting the police to stop and search a person must be strictly complied with because there is no power to stop and search a person at common law (Kenlin v Gardner [1967] 2 QB 510, [1966] 3 All ER 931 (DC)) unless the person is simply stopped by the police in order to speak to him (Daniel v Morrison, supra). A police officer is only empowered to stop a person to seek production of an identity card but if the person behaves in a suspicious manner or the police officer reasonably suspects that the person has committed, is about to or intends to commit an offence then a search may be carried out: Police Force Ordinance (Cap 232) s 54. An officer of the Customs and Excise Service is empowered to stop and search anyone who he may reasonably suspect of committing an offence against the Customs and Excise Service Ordinance: Customs and Excise Service Ordinance (Cap 342) s 17A, sch 2. Additional stop and search powers are given to the Customs and Excise Service in relation to offences under the Import and Export Ordinance in relation to persons leaving and arriving in Hong Kong: Import and Export Ordinance (Cap 60) s 20(1)(g). See also Police powers; Search and seizure; Search warrant. 限制某人的行動及檢查該人的衣服或財物。截停及搜查的權力並無逮捕的性質：Daniel v Morrison (1979) 70 Cr App Rep 142（地方法院）。須嚴格遵行准予警方截停及搜查人的法例，因為普通法沒有截停及搜查人的權力(Kenlin v Gardner [1967] 2 QB 510, [1966] 3 All ER 931 (地方法院))，除非該人僅被警務人員截停以便與他說話，則不在此限制之內(Daniel v Morrison,見上文)。警務人員僅獲授權截停某人以要求他出示身分證明文件供該警務人員查閱，但如該人行跡可疑，或警務人員合理地懷疑該人已經或即將或意圖犯任何罪行，則可進行搜查：《警隊條例》(第232章)第54條。香港海關人員獲授權截停及搜查任何他／她合理地懷疑觸犯香港海關條例的人：《香港海關條例》（第342章）附表2。關於《進出口條例》的罪行，香港海關獲額外截停及搜查任何進入或離開香港的人的權力：《進出口條例》（第60章）第20(1)(g)條。另見 Police powers; Search and seizure; Search warrant。 |
