[十七歲那年]
旁聽席坐了二十餘人,法庭內分外安靜。鄭念慈裁判官讀出判詞時,音量細小,中間竪立了多重防疫夾板,鄭法官以口罩夾把口罩繩子綁在頸後,口罩的阻隔讓其聲音更細小。旁聽席多為中年男女,有人伸長了脖子身體傾前,期望可以聽清楚一點法官的話。
隱隱約約的案情從法官口中吐出,均對被告人不利。「群眾聚集叫囂,被告說出所謂『隻揪』這句話,引致起哄。」「被告冚了警員左頭盔的位置」「被告拉扯警棍至警員失重心」。
然而,法官亦指出,被告在法庭上聲稱,被拘捕時於警車上及回到警局後,多次被警員掌摑,被告亦沒有犯罪紀錄,年紀輕,醫生亦證明他患有自閉症。不過,法官認為被告在庭上作供時「表現正常」,法官「肯定」被告病況不影響被告,指他能夠理解及明白拘捕等手續。
對於被告指自己被掌摑,裁判官鄭念慈認為不可信。鄭指出,驗傷報告只有皮外傷,相信是拘捕時造成,法官亦分析指,警員讓被告在落口供前打電話接觸母親,被告卻沒有在當時向母親投訴。鄭念慈指,若警員要毆打或掌摑被告,可以不批准他致電回家,「豈非更乾手淨腳」。裁判官說,被告的指控「令人難以信服,全屬捏造。」
近日坊間關注未成年人審訊情況。司法界近月亦為裁判官舉辦量刑工作坊,提醒法官「基於公眾利益,對嚴重案件的少年被告判以阻嚇性懲罰」。上訴庭亦已表明「年輕」不是重要減刑考慮。
今次被告人犯案時17歲,而跟據法例,16歲以下未成年人落口供才需要家長陪同。鄭念慈指,被告在法庭雖然稱落口供前被威嚇,但他並不相信,認為落口供過程沒問題。
事發為2019年10月20日九龍大遊行晚上,彌敦道及窩打老道群眾聚集。裁判官指,片段裡有人罵警察「毅進仔你幾多錢一個月」,群眾亦有人要求警員出示委任証,而警員要求示威者出現身份証。雖然片段沒拍得被告向警方要求「隻揪」,但鄭念慈指,被告「肯定有說過」,因為作供的警員誠實可靠,說的話合情合理。
鄭念慈形容,本來現場群眾情緒是「口角」,主要是峙一方嘲笑警察收入,但被告後來說了「死黑警,過嚟隻揪」,按裁判官理解,「隻揪」意思是「對打」,意圖令現場情況「從口角提升至動武」。故此,被告「肯定」有挑動現場情緒,令現場人士更仇視警察,擾亂秩序,影響社會安寧,故判處被告第一項罪名「公眾地方作出擾亂秩序行為」罪名成立。
鄭念慈指,之後被告不肯出示身份證,「並襲擊兩名正常執行職務警察」,兩項襲警罪名成立。
現在已經19歲的被告,身型健碩,闊肩斜膊,額前髮陰向下梳,他穿了白色恤衫,打了黑色領呔,在聽判詞時全程站立,頭下垂,眼睛瞇成一線,口罩上面部皮膚通紅。當聽到罪名成立後,旁聽席有中年男士搖搖頭。
之後,鄭念慈和辯方大狀就判刑展開了討論。鄭裁判官此時說話音量比之前大聲,身體動作亦更多。
鄭上身向後倚,背靠椅子,先聲明:「我會拿報告,但會拿『困起佢』既報告。」
辯方大狀試探着:「會不會拿更生中心? 」
鄭:「吓,佢嗌『隻揪』喎,令現場升溫喎,危害公眾安全,那時警民關係不好,佢唔只挑釁,令口角現場變成襲警。雖然年紀輕無案底,但冇悔意,我要判處一定時間既紀律性訓練,只係更生中心不足夠。」
辯方大狀:「現場原來情況不太嚴重。」
鄭:「就係原來不嚴重,佢叫雙方過來『隻揪』(鄭攤一攤手)咁至入第一條罪。」
辯方:「佢有情緒病自閉症,受到現場氣氛挑釁,不是冇道理咁樣做。」
鄭:「吓,佢『有道理』叫警察過來『隻揪?』
辯方:「不是這個意思。」
鄭:「佢無後悔喎,叫完『隻揪』之後,警察查佢身份証,佢打差人,打完一個第二個。佢又唔認罪,無悔意,成年人我判咗監啦。」
辯方:「佢唔係無悔意架…..」
鄭:「佢後悔咗啲乜嘢呢?」
辯方大狀呈上被告自己寫的求情信,是幾張在橫間紙上用原子筆手寫的英文信。
然而鄭念慈翻閱該幾張白紙說,批評道:「Mr Ng (辯方吳宗鑾大狀),你有無睇過架,究竟寫呢封信佢寫得有幾認真?我就咁都睇到幾個錯字,用白油(塗改液)油咗啲未乾又寫落去,我都睇唔到上面寫乜。連抄多一次都唔去做。」
吳辯方大狀引述信中段落,以英語讀出:「佢話自己既行為inappropriate, truly sorry and apologize for this.」
鄭反駁:「向邊個道歉呢?」
吳大狀:「向受害者道歉,向法庭道歉。」
鄭回應:「佢向我道歉做乜?佢又唔係打我。你話佢有悔意?我看唔到喎。」
鄭念慈表示押後判刑至十四天後,期間索取勞教中心、教導所報告,鄭強調會判以「長時間紀律性訓練」,更生中心報告則也會拿,但只是「順便」他表明不傾向判處。
鄭說,現已19歲患有自閉症的被告,需要還押。三名警員已在後段準備好架勢,站在被告附近圍成了半圓型,待求情完畢,被告就被帶入犯人欄的木門後,旁聽席一名中年女情親友流着淚,二十多名旁聽者靜默着離開。
「隻揪」這個詞語,在反修例運動可以追溯至更早。2019年7月初,一名男警於旺角驅散示威者時,曾跟現場市民對罵,期間警員曾說「埋嚟呀!」「認住我呀!」「隻揪呀!」該警員於運動期間被受注目,有「隻揪Sir」之稱號。
這天下午太陽曬得酷熱難當,午飯時間,一名鬢髮斑白的伯伯,和一位穿裙子的微胖女孩,守在九龍城法院的囚車出入口處。等了一個半小時,其中一輛囚車駛出,女孩獨個兒追着囚車,拿着手機開啟了小電筒,高舉着手臂大喊:「陳XX (男孩名字),撐住呀!」
烈日當空,女孩把手機的小電筒開啟了,這點小光被大太陽淹沒了,但她仍然高舉手機,吃力地揮動那個看不見的小光點。囚車停在交通燈前,她追上前,高舉着手機,裙子吹得飄逸。囚車被茶色玻璃密封,裡面是不是坐着她關心的手足也不重要,送錯總比錯過好。

[時事英文] 使用 Zoom 風險自負
Don’t just let your information “zoom off” to someone else…sorry, that pun was terrible.
*zoom (v.): https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/zoom
★★★★★★★★★★★★
《紐約時報》報導:
Ever since many of us started working from home in the coronavirus pandemic, I’ve been invited to countless gatherings taking place on Zoom, the videoconferencing app. Virtual happy hours, work meetings, dinners, you name it. I’ve been a no-show, and it’s not just because my hair has grown embarrassingly long. It’s because I have a fundamental problem with Zoom.
1、coronavirus pandemic 冠狀病毒大流行疫情
2、gathering 聚會
3、take place 舉行;發生
4、videoconferencing 視訊會議
5、virtual 虛擬
6、you name it 凡是你說得出的都有;應有盡有
7、no-show 未按預訂到場者;未如約出席者
8、have a problem with sth/sb 認為……令人討厭(或無禮)
自從許多人因為新冠病毒疫情開始居家辦公以來,我多次被邀請參加使用視訊會議應用程式Zoom進行的聚會。不但有虛擬歡樂時光,還有虛擬工作會議、晚餐等等。我始終失約,不僅僅因為我的頭髮長到令人尷尬的地步。我失約是因為我壓根不喜歡Zoom。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
For the last year, I’ve been wary of the app. Zoom has had multiple privacy snafus in that period, which have come up so frequently that they became a game of Whac-a-Mole. The missteps included a weakness that would have allowed malware to attach to Zoom and hijack our web cameras. The issues with basic security practices culminated with “Zoombombing,” in which trolls crashed people’s video meetings and bombarded them with inappropriate material like pornography.
9、be wary of 當心;提防
10、snafus 大混亂;大謬誤
11、Whac-a-Mole 打地鼠
12、misstep 過失;失足
13、malware 惡意軟體(破壞電腦運作的軟體)
14、hijack 劫持
15、security practice 安全措施
16、culminate in/with sth 達到……的頂點;以……告終
17、troll (在網路上為引人關注或搗亂)故意留下激怒他人言論者
18、bombard 連續轟炸;不斷攻擊
19、bombard sb with sth 拿……圍攻……;向……大量提問
20、pornography 色情書刊(或電影等)
過去一年,我一直對這個應用程式保持警惕。在那段時期,Zoom曾出現過多次隱私隱患,頻率之高,簡直猶如打地鼠一般。隱患包括一個可能導致惡意軟體附著到Zoom上並劫持鏡頭的漏洞。基本安全措施問題的高峰是「Zoom轟炸」的出現,搗亂者闖入人們的影片會議,不斷用色情等不良內容轟炸他們。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
In a blog post last week, Zoom’s chief executive, Eric Yuan, apologized for all the mistakes and said the recent problems had largely been addressed. The company promised to focus on fixing its privacy and security issues over the coming months. If there is something déjà vu about all of this, you aren’t wrong. That’s because we find ourselves dealing with the same situation over and over again, focusing on the convenience of easy-to-use tech products over issues like data security and privacy.
21、chief executive(公司或機構的)執行長,總裁
22、address (v.) 處理
23、déjà vu 既視感;似曾相識的感覺
24、find oneself(不知不覺地)發現自己處於……中(或在做……事)
25、deal with 應付;處理
26、over and over again 一再地
27、data security 資料安全(即資安)
Zoom首席執行長袁征上週在一篇部落格文章中為所有錯誤表示歉意,並表示最近出現的問題已經大致得到解決。該公司承諾將在未來幾個月內集中解決隱私和安全問題。如果所有這些讓你有似曾相識感覺的話,你的感覺沒錯。那是因為我們一次又一次地處理著相同的情況,專注於科技產品在使用上的便利性,而忽視資安和隱私問題。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
“There’s a revolving door,” said Matthew Guariglia, a policy analyst for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights nonprofit. “When you give your data to one company, you have no idea who else is going to have access to it, because so much of it happens behind the black box of company secrecy.” The onus is certainly on Zoom, not us, to fix the privacy and security problems of its app. But we can put pressure on Zoom by not accepting the situation. If you do use Zoom, do so with caution and strong security settings.
28、revolving door 旋轉門;循環往復
29、frontier 前沿;國境
30、digital rights 數位權利;數位版權
31、access 存取;讀取;進出
32、company secrecy 公司保密
33、onus 責任;義務
34、put pressure on 向……施壓;迫使某人(做某事)
35、strong security settings 高強度的安全設定
「來來回回總是如此,」非營利數位權利組織電子前線基金會的政策分析師馬修・瓜裡利亞說。「當你將你的資料提供給一家公司時,根本不知道還有誰可以讀取它,因為許多都發生在公司的祕密黑匣子背後。」解決應用程式的隱私和安全問題肯定是Zoom的責任,而不是我們的責任。但是我們可以對Zoom施加壓力,拒絕接受這種情況。如果你的確需要使用Zoom,請謹慎使用並將安全性設定提高。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Tech companies can monetize user data in many ways without directly selling it, including by sharing it with other companies that mine the information for insights, according to research published by the M.I.T. Sloan School of Management. In some cases, tools to collect data from users are “rented” to third parties. Such practices would technically make it true that your personal data was not “sold,” but a company would still make money from your data. So what to do? In these difficult times, many of us have no better option than to use Zoom. So here are some steps to keep in mind.
36、monetize 從……賺錢;轉化為貨幣;貨幣化
37、mine (v.) 開採
38、make money 賺錢;營利
39、difficult times 艱困期*
40、keep sth in mind 記住;別忘了
麻省理工學院斯隆管理學院發表的研究報告顯示,科技公司無需直接出售也可以通過多種方式將用戶資料貨幣化,包括與其它挖掘用戶訊息以獲取深入知識的公司共享數據。在某些情況下,收集用戶資料的工具被「租借」給第三方。這種做法在技術上可以使你的個人資料不被「出售」,但公司仍然可以用你的資料賺錢。那麼,該怎麼做呢?在困難時期,我們中的許多人沒有比Zoom更好的選項。這裡有一些步驟要記住。

【過境筆記】前幾天是中亞旅行以來第一次下雪❄️ 因為太開心了,完全忘了一下段從烏茲別克到塔吉克斯的陸地過境需要經過高山,有可能因為大雪而關閉🗻
這是一個我們從五小時車程,變成將近十三小時路程的故事😭 也是一個車費幾乎變三倍的一個記錄 😂 文長小心🙊
====================
一早我們就從青旅準備步行到三公里外的公車站🚏 路途中一台車子突然停下來叫招我們上車😶 想說這就是傳說中的搭便車嗎?!
上車沒多久,老先生表態說他是計程車司機。當下暗自叫苦,不經想說等下到底要給他多少錢。老先生用俄語表示說如果給他一點小錢,可以載我們到邊界😅 我只好用英文說:「No money...😖」
從撒馬爾罕到邊界小鎮的小巴大約是四十分鐘,每人 USD$2。雖然看當地人付錢感覺應該又更少...🤔
一到邊界就開始有人問我們要去哪裡。「Dushanbe?」Dushanbe 是塔吉克斯坦的首都,過邊界後大約需要五小時車程,每人約 USD$10。「Dushanbe 路關了,今天過不去!」司機先生嘗試阻止我們前往邊境。
「你理他們幹麻?搞不好騙你的!」York 把我叫走。也是,計程車司機常常為了賺錢都跟遊客說公車沒開,於是我們匆忙走入海關。
「Dushanbe?」「是的。」「今天下雪路關閉喔!你需要從另一個邊境到塔吉克斯坦。」邊境警察拿起我們手機並指一指地圖。
先前就有部落客說冬季需要繞到名為Tursunzoda 小鎮那邊的海關😶 只是前幾天都確認這條通往 Panjakent 小鎮的路是通的,於是就沒查資料😖
「你們需要回到撒馬爾罕,再找共乘計程車到那個邊境,可能一人三十美金吧!」邊境警察說。
從這裡繞到那個編輯再前往今天的住宿,大約要多十一小時的路程!不過誰也不知道山路什麼時後開,只好趕快另外想辦法😖
「到那邊邊境兩人USD$100!」計程車司機開價。雖然知道路途很遠但我根本不想花那麼多錢,情願回到原本的城市再做打算。「USD$80」「USD$60」就這樣一路砍,最後威脅我們直接要搭車回撒馬爾罕,就以兩人USD$55成交😶
「還要等一個人。」計程車司機說。眼看目前已經十一點,我就踏出車子拍拍照(離邊境大約三十幾米)。沒想到突然出現另一個背著AK47槍枝的軍官,要我把手機交上。
「照片。」他拿起我的手機,把隨手拍邊境的兩張照片刪除。原本還要跟我要相機,但 York機靈地跟他說我們只用手機拍照。事後手機當然把照片直接從垃圾桶還原回來😛 說真的根本沒拍到什麼,真的有夠敏感😑 這也是我沒愛中亞的原因,軍官都嚴肅要死,不愧是前蘇聯國家🙄
終於在十一點半的四個人搭上車了!滿了就可以直接出發!
事後用翻譯軟體才知道原來這兩位先生都是從塔吉克斯坦邊界小鎮 Panjakent!他們原本不用過境就可以直接搭乘五小時的山路一路到首都 Dushanbe ⛰️ 結果現在卻要過境一路讓到深夜才能夠到達目的地,實在有夠辛苦😲
這裡的車子都使用天然氣取代汽油🚘 每家一次全體都要站到外面。室外溫度越來越冷,周圍都是雪山,感覺自己好像來到了西伯利亞 😐
而且這趟中途的食物也很難吃,而且比上次魚大餐配酒貴!悲哀到我連照片都不想拍👀
就這樣我們就在幾乎看不到前面的路況開了450公里,從11.30AM到 8.30PM 才到了邊境...😔 「這錢真的不好賺啊...」跟食物比起來,開車在烏茲別克確實難賺多了!
值得一提的是當地人在開車前都會集把雙手蓋住臉,祈求平安🙏 不管是出發前、中途用餐重新上路,都會做這個動作。「你很討厭人家摸臉,我看你待在這裡一定會發瘋!」York 事後跟我說😹
過邊境還蠻順暢的,每個關卡兩位大哥都會等我們,直到我們抵達塔吉克斯坦,準備計程車搭車前往首度 Dushanbe🚖
我們老早就知道從這個邊境到市區是每人 USD$5,其實算蠻貴的。果不其然其中一位大哥是塔吉克斯坦人,他代表我們全部(另一位大哥是烏茲別克人)幫忙講價。
雖然聽不懂,但是他們講話過程還蠻激烈的。我猜內容大約是:「遊客的公定價就是五美金,你不要為難我們了!」「你看看這些人,他們分別是澳洲人、紐西蘭人、烏茲別克人,你怎麼可以收那麼貴的費用!」經過許多爭執,一位司機大哥出來握手:「好好好,但是你們一定要保密。」就這樣我們每人 USD$2.5 搭上車,雖然還是猜當地人應該更低。畢竟是不到一小時的車程...🤔
這台計程車並沒有載我們到目的地,而是距離市中心約十三公里的侯車站!其中一位大叔請他朋友順便載我們到青旅,終於在晚上十點半我們順利抵達住宿 😭😭😭
「那條山路大約九個小時前就開了啊!」櫃檯先生看著電腦跟我們說。「什麼?!」花了那麼多時間跟金錢,原來只要我們晚點出發就沒事了😢 「千金難買早知道...我們也不可能等到下午一點...」York 說。
「你們應該在塔吉克斯坦的邊境小鎮Panjakent 住一晚,就算今天沒開,明天也有可能開啊!而且他們關路其實也只是五公里而已。」只可惜我們行程都很滿,不太敢冒險卡在那邊。
果然隔天那條公路早上又關閉了😅 真的很慶幸我們可以當天來到 Dushanbe 😆 這真的是一個很舒服的城市!食物好吃又便宜,住宿乾淨、浴室又有地熱,另外衛生紙是離開伊朗後最軟的衛生紙😍 人生的小確幸也不愧如此 😛

Snow was fun until it became a blizzard and blocked the mountain passage on our border crossing day from Uzbekistan to Tajikistan😠
The intended border crossing route was from Samarkand to Panjakent border (40 mins USD$2 mini bus) then USD$10pp from border to Dushanbe (5 hours)🚗
However, the day before departure it started to snow ❄ We arrived at the border crossing not realising the roads were closed! So we had to decide on an alternative route on the spot!
The other border (Tursunzoda border) crossing into Tajikistan requires bypassing the mountain (450km of windy road)⛰ which is another 9 hour car ride from the original boarder!!! Only then we can cross into Tajikistan and catch another taxi which will take another hour drive to our destination at Dushanbe😣
We haggled the trip fare from USD$100 to USD$55 for two👀 Then after the border crossing the Tajik man who was on the same car helped us to negotiate the taxi into Dushanbe from USD$5pp to USD$2.5pp so we won't need to pay the tourist price😬
When we arrive in the outskirts of Dushanbe, the Uzbek man in the same car did us a favour and asked his friend to give us a ride to our hostel🏠
We were exhausted by the time we reached our hostel at 10.30pm😩 Devastatingly we learnt that the original route reopened 9 hours ago which was only 3 hours after we left the place 😰
Apparently it was only 5KM of the mountain pass that was closed off due to snow which they had promptly cleared.
We could have stayed at the boarder for 3 hours and travelled to Dushanbe in 5 hours. Instead we travelled for 10 hours on the long route😭
So the timeline of the day was:
Left hotel at 9.30AM and was going to walk 3KM to shared taxi stop🚏 Met this lovely old taxi driver offered to take us there for free! 👴 He was hoping we could pay him to go to the border but we declined the offer. He didn’t charge us anything for the short ride 😅
Got on the mini van at 10AM and off to the border with the locals. We arrived at the boarder at 10:30am only find that the route is closed due to snow❄️
Snapped some photos of the boarder gate and the border guard came and demanded that I step out of the car😠 He then took my phone and looked at the photos and deleted ones he deemed inappropriate📸 First time getting treated like this. Thankfully he didn't see my camera nor he knew the deleted photos goes to a "bin" section in phones😂
Negotiated the fare by 10.40AM and finally got our last shared taxi passenger at 11.30AM!!! These people were at Panjakent (Tajikistan) already but bcz the route to Dushanbe was closed, they have to take the alternate long route 😲
The other drivers and the passengers then collectively touched their faces with both hands and mumbled sth. I think they praying for safe journey🙏 They did this everytime we start the drive again.
We did not anticipate this whole journey was going to take this long!!! The driver even did a wrong turn, weather was so cold he had to go borrow hot water from shops to defrost his engine. The car here runs on gas so everytime he tops up we have to get off the car into the freezing cold 😑
We didn't reach the border till 8.30PM😱 Poor York who sat in the middle seat got a really sore ass...
We successfully crossed both borders around 9.30PM and the two men in the car waited for us and made sure we crossed safely❤
After an intense fare negotiation, we finally arrived in outer Dushanbe city at 10.15PM (13KM from our hostel) and the man's friend gave us a ride 🚙
What a journey just to cross the border!! The hotel dude said we should've just waited and the road may open in a few hours/days time. We were not prepared to gamble with this route opening time as we were on a tight schedule😝
Ps. Food along the journey was SHIT and expensive 🙄 Didn't even bother taking a picture...
